RED WHITE AND BLUE

Fourth of July is one of my absolute favorite holidays. The food, the family, the fireworks... I was so happy that we got to go celebrate in La Jolla before we move. It was so fun spending time with my family AND some of our favorite friends. And I always love going back to the country club since it's where we had our reception :) Happy Birthday America!

BYE UTAH

I have lived in Utah for almost 5 years now and I can't believe it is coming to an end. I always wanted to go to BYU but never wanted to go to Utah. I seriously considered to go yo BYU Hawaii but Provo just felt right. And now I can't imagine leaving this state that has given me so much.Over the last five years I have made some of the best friends imaginable, graduated college, found an amazing job which led to so many opportunities, fell in love with and married my soul mate, and learned so much about myself.It doesn't feel real that we are starting our post college life together but I am so excited for all the fun things we have ahead of us.

Last night we headed up the canyon with some friends for a little goodbye bonfire and it might have been one of my favorite nights in Provo. I was so thankful that everyone put aside their busy schedules to be together one last night. For now. I know we will all be reunited at some point down the line. As we were leaving we realized we didn't take a single picture, so get ready for some really high quality night pics.

I hope we can find friends half as great as these ones To be honest, I am slightly terrified of moving somewhere new surrounded by unfamiliar people but I am so grateful that I get to have Scott by my side the whole time. And that we get a little month of travel in before Scott starts work. So I am still slightly in denial that we are actually moving to the east coast.

Bye Utah. See you again soon.

KENNEDY

Our dearest friends had their first baby girl and I LOVED snapping some pics of sweet Kennedy. Fun fact- Derek and Scott will be working for the same company! And although we will be heading to different states this summer we are hoping eventually we can end up together again! Isn't she precious?? I swear every time I see her it makes me seriously consider getting one of our own :)

GOLDEN STATE

^^ the crew. We are going on about a week of traveling together and working together and I wouldn't trade them for the world. No matter how stressed I get they can always make me laugh.

^^When your husband is allergic to peanuts... Take any excuse you can to get peanut flavored anything!!! This might have been my favorite thing I ate the whole trip. If you ever find yourslef in the Berkley area RUN to Cream asap.

The only time I have been to San Francisco was in 7th grade with my middle school. I remember eating ice cream at ghirardelli square and then the pool party we had back at the hotel that night. So yeah all of the important stuff. Luckily I got to go back down to SF this weekend for work and I have had a blast exploring and getting to know the area a little better. I will always be a Southern California girl but the bay area would not be a bad place to end up. And game 5 of the NBA finals was in Oakland over the weekend which was pretty cool. And yes I actually would not care one bit if I hadn't married Scott. But I did think the snapchat graphic that showed up on Sunday was pretty sweet.  think I have texted Scott almost every day begging him to come back here one day with me. I would die to wander the streets and eat buckets of clam chowder. Oh my gosh the food this trip has been unreal. Usually on these work trips I feel like I barely eat because we are so busy. Not this trip. 

Wouldn't be surprised if I had put on a good five pounds. Loved my little weekend in SF but I am SO ready to have my sleeping buddy back in my bed. The other night I woke up completely horizontal and I was so confused!!
