--Deep Sea Fishing--

Wow what a day! We started out with an awesome day at work (crazy I know), Brian sold 8 accounts and 29 for the week, (a typical week is around 12-15 for first year reps) I have married quite the salesman. He went above and beyond his goal and the company bought him a new XBOX 360, which he is SO stoked about! I would just like to let everyone know and mostly Brian how grateful I am for him and giving this summer a shot. He was so against leaving his sanctuary in the Kamas Valley, he left it and came out here for me and took a huge chance. We have so many awesome memories of Cali, and neither one of us regret it at all. He has been such a hard worker and kept a great attitude about it. I love you Bri thanks for all you do!

That night Brian and I got a chance to go deep sea fishing together! What a fun experience, you never know what your going to catch in the ocean! I took a ton of pics so just a warning this may be long.
Here is our friend Bilbob(Brian), he came with us fishing, I just showed Brian the hat in a store, and he had to have it. We shopped around and walked around all of the shops in Newport Beach area, and we were just talking about how nice everyone is down here.....Everyone is just relax and chill. Old Guys would be talking to Brian and say Bro all the time, it's funny cause you don't get that out of most people in Utah.

Bilbob's cousin Dirte(Matt). Sweet car man!

Waiting anxiously for the boat.

The crew getting ready to go out to sea, we all took sea sickness pills right before just incase, our boat went out from 7 to 12 midnight.

Here are some beautiful veiws of the Newport harbor. As you can see there are so many amazing homes surrounding the harbor with sick speed boats.
This first pic is Balboa Island. The pic on the right is right off of Balboa Island, (if you click on the pic you can see that this home is hanging over the cliff) these homes are all worth over 5 million.
My Camera doesn't do an ocean sunset justice at all, but it was really pretty!
There's my man just tying my hook and sinker on, he also baited my hook the whole night so i wouldn't have to smell fishy, we were using anchovies, or however you spell that.

That's a sealion, it was crazy i actually hooked onto one of them with my pole!!! i couldn't believe it, i almost lost my pole, but the captain grabbed the pole and just broke the line, it was crazy.
There's me catching my first fish and the sand bass that we caught, We had over 50 people on the boat, and Brian caught the first fish, he caught 8 or 9, and i caught 3, they were pretty big, the Guy's on the boat would unhook the fish for us and put them in our bags, It was worth it, everyone should go deep sea fishing if they go to Cali, it was really fun, i never thought i would say that.
That little baggy that Brian has costed us 10 bucks!!! but it was good, and that's a frozen chocolate banana in my hand, yummy!!!
While we were waiting to go whale watching we heard some music going on in this restaurant, and this Jamaican looking dude was singing, playing the keyboard and had his drummer with him....it was hilarious cause he had the whole place on their feet dancing. These guys probably in their 60s and 70s were lovin it. The singer kept looking over at us just giving us thumbs up, and wanting us to dance. It was fun.

Well here we are Whale watching, and we saw a lot of sealions, and a ton of Dolphins!!! It was a lot better than seaworld. The Captain of our fishing boat told us about this, and invited us to come on his boat for free, so that was really nice of him. There were probably at least 50 dolphins or more swimming around us. No whales, but it was fun anyways.
