THE GRIDDLE

Before we left for Utah, my dad treated James and I out to a great breakfast at The Griddle. I had the best and the biggest banana pancakes, ever! James and I shared it and we still weren't able to devour it all.

FAREWELL.

Sadly, our time in California is coming to an end and soon we will be moving to Salt Lake City, Utah for a short time. We've been trying to enjoy our last few days here and avoiding all the packing we need to do. We're excited for our next move.

HONEYMOON.

Our first cruise together and it was a lot of fun! We stopped in Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. 24hr relaxation and all-you-can-eat! We'll definitely have to make this some sort of tradition.

WEDDING DAY

It's almost been a week since we've been married and it's been great. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing and we're so grateful for all those who helped make it extra special for us. It turned out beautifully. We'd liked to send a special thank you to Ramona Arnold (and team) at Simple Country Weddings for supplying and creating the major details at our reception. We loved every inch of it! A lot of hard work went into it and we're so grateful for all the hands that helped. We love you!

CALIFORNIA BOUND.

We're heading home soon! I cannot wait to be back in California. This week we've been busy with studying for finals and packing our things away. We have a lot of exciting events coming up within the weeks. This weekend we will be in McCammon, Idaho for James' family reunion. Then, my brother will be reporting to the MTC on August 8th. He's been called to serve in the Las Vegas, Nevada mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm so proud of him for choosing to serve. He's amazing and I know he will be a great missionary. Then, James and I are getting married! We'll be going on a cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon, and after, we will be settling down in Salt Lake City for a short time. I am so excited and I can't wait for all of this to happen!
