LA

The first stop after Andrea's house in Marin is Los Angeles where we spend the night at Kristen's parent's house. So tired when we arrive, but we watch Dancing with the Stars with them on their very fancy Plasma TV. We wake up in the morning and go to the Australian consulate to get Bec's passport things taken care of.

Then we head out to Las Vegas...

Did I mention that driving takes a long time?

We finally get to Las Vegas. Get to the hotel and fall asleep.

Wake up the next day and drive down the strip and took some pictures...Las Vegas is...interesting.

I am sure it is more fancy at night time, but we didn't really feel up to adventuring last night so today we take pictures and we head out to Utah...

Getting ready for Oregon

From Denise's house we are going to go to Oregon...but we get a call from Andrea Henkart who tells us there is an Isagenix meeting at her house and we should come. So we think about it and say OK because it will be on the way to Oregon...we also ask if we can stay there so we can get an early start. She says sure, but also says....Hey btw there is a 3 day Isawarrior retreat in Utah in about a week. If you guys want to why not come. It will be fun and really help bring your business and life to the next level.

So we talked about it...we couldn't do Oregon and Utah...so because we were running late on our trip anyway and because it would help our business. (at this point were a little worried about finances.) We decided to go to Utah...

Back to Sacramento

One last time at Denise's house.
Thank God for Denise...she is really been our retreat and special home on this trip so far.
She is an amazing woman. A Major in the military and an all around spiritual seeker. We have had such great talks with Denise....

On this particular visit we met Denise's mom who was very nice. it was fun to have spiritual talks with her. She is pretty set in the way she sees life, but is open to learning about what other people are into. Very fun talks :)

This was also the visit we introduced Denise to Isagenix. She is now an avid cleanser and so excited about helping the world get healthy and wealthy. It's fun to watch her go!

3 am wake up call...

Around 3 in the morning I got woken up by a spun out David. He was feeling dizzy and was needing to throw up. For the next day we stayed in bed. Sleeping on and off. David couldn't turn his head without wanting to throw up. He had cold sweats and was pretty miserable most of the time. I just held him and took care of him best as I could. But when it came to the day after I was pretty much set that he needed to go to the doctor.

We went to the emergency room and they admitted him. Evidently he was anemic and when they did some tests there was some internal bleeding so they had to do more tests.

Poor David, they took so much blood from him. Every couple of hours pretty much.
They had him all hooked up to drips and things, but once he was on the iv's his dizziness went away. I slept with him in his bed at the hospital. Just giving him love and trying not to stress out too much....but when the man you love is sick...stress happens...what can I say?

We were in the hospital for about 3 days. After all was said and done, they thought he was going to need a blood transfusion because he had lost so much blood, but after about a day his blood counts were fine. I was doing a lot of energy work on him. Keeping him safe in a bubble of energy, wrapping my wings around him. Anything I could do. Also so many of our friends were praying for him and sending him energy and love. Miracles were bound to happen!

After the hospital we went back to Adam's house for one more night. We had dinner with Adam, Julia and Owen, which was fun and we also got to hang out with one of Adam's house mates who shared some travel tips with us. We got all packed up the next morning and headed out again...

Dinner with Adam

This night we went to Adam's house for dinner. It was great to catch up with him! Adam is a landscape architect, really great at putting parties together and is a hardcore dancer. His number one priority in life is connecting in community.

After dinner I was super tired. He and Adam spent time hanging out together and having chats.

Kraig in the park

We went to visit Kraig at Yerba Buena park to go for some lunch at a place called Samovar.

It was a really nice place and the tea was very yummy.

After we just sat in the middle of the gardens on the lawn and chilled. A German kid in his 20's was on his first super travel adventure and came to talk to us about that and the book Conversations with God.

Kraig showed us his sketch book of his drawings. He is a comic book illustrator who also writes screen plays, he has a huge DVD collection and is an amazing martial artist.

We had a very fun time with Kraig this day.

Next stop Kristen Blue's House

Our next stop was my friend Kristen's house aka Blue.
She lives with 3 room mates and we all hung out that night. Kristen ended up getting really sick the next day. With stomach pains and dizziness. Her boyfriend came and took her to the hospital. They did a bunch of tests but in the end they weren't really sure what was wrong, but she called a few days later to say she was doing much better.
