Utah Summer

so after zion's we headed up to provo, utah for my best friend nichel's open house in alpine. they had it at scotty's house and it was the most beautiful thing ever! they had the waffle love food truck there too so i was in heaven, so yummy.

nichel outdid herself with the prettiest decorations, not to mention how beautiful of a bride is she!? really loved her dress!

we helped clean up afterwards and i just want to have a table of flowers like this in my home always. so pretty.

kenneth hung out for awhile and then i told him to go hang out with his boys so i could get some time with my girls haha. i hadn't seen alexis and nichel since our wedding so it was fun to catch up.

the rest of the week was spent spending half of it with our friends and the other half at my family reunion. my grandparents live in provo along with some of my aunts and uncles so it was fun to see them all.

i really wish alexis and i lived closer. she's the greatest. it was so fun getting to spend the week with her. kenneth and i love being married and he's my best friend. but we both love our best friends too. the best part is that basically all our best friends are best friends. score. we had so much fun hanging out with all of them. and i'm already so so so excited to go to utah this summer for steven's wedding and see them all again! july please get here sooner.

^when you spend 6 weeks with someone in africa, you create a bond that no one will ever understand haha

we had fun hanging out at the pool and watching the world cup.

we also went to mona rope swing one day and saw a lot of people eat it haha.

for the 4th of july we went spent the morning with my family and watched the provo parade and then later we met up with friends and went to a Bee's game and watched the fire work show afterwards.

after a fun filled week in utah we headed to northern california. along the drive you can see the beautiful salt flats and we stopped to take some pictures.

we then embarked on the long drive to the bay area where we were going to spend a couple days with our best friend steven. oh and guess what... on the drive there our car's ac died and we lost our power steering haha. that made for an interesting 12 hour drive...
