roommates (minus one)

I got together with my old BYU roomies when I was in Utah a few weeks ago (more on that trip later :). We met up for lunch and shopping at the Gateway. It was so fun to be together again and chat. We're all in such new/crazy/different stages in our lives and so it's nice to get together and catch up. We missed Kristina this trip, but luckily I got to see her down in San Diego the following week. I miss these girls!!!

ash in the big city


This lovely lady came to visit. A little bit of a shock coming from Rexburg to SF, but she became a local in no time. She drove to the city with me from Newport Beach (more on that vacay later), and stayed with us for a week. Since Mike and I were both working a bunch, she was "tourist by day, local by night." We took her to a few of our favorite dinner spots (Nick's, Zushi Puzzle, Nob Hill Cafe) and stayed up late hanging out (watching SYTYCD and the Bachelorette finale!) We also introduced Ash to her first MLB game - go Giants!

On Saturday, Ash & I had a girl's day and went to the farmer's market, did some shopping, and got rush tickets to Billy Elliot!

We loved having you come, Ash! Come back soon!

fireworks on the pier

We went and watched the fireworks at fisherman's wharf on monday night. It was an incredible show. I feel so grateful to live in this wonderful country and enjoy the many freedoms and opportunities. God bless America!



lake tahoe

We spent the 4th of July weekend in lake tahoe with our friends, Brad & Kelsey. It was an awesome weekend. We stayed at the Granlibakken resort (pronounced with a viking accent). We did a whole lot of nothing - laying by the pool, playing tennis & golf, hanging out at the beach, paddleboarding on the lake, hiking, eating yummy food, and enjoying the beautiful weather & scenery.

(the most rewarding 10 minute hike ever)


*my new goal in life: somehow earn enough money to buy a cabin in tahoe*
