California

So, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I went to California last Monday-Wednesday for my friend Paige's wedding. It was a very packed trip, but a lot of fun. Monday, my mom picked me up from the airport and then we drove straight down to Modesto to visit my grandma who I haven't seen in quite awhile. So we went to lunch with her and my aunt and visited for quite awhile. (I'm still waiting to get some pictures from my mom from that day). Then, Tuesday, Heidi and my mom and I drove to Oakland for the wedding. Paige looked so beautiful! I was a bridesmaid so that was a fun little experience. It was so fun seeing the Oakland temple. I hadn't been there since my own wedding 3 years ago and this was the first time I had been to a sealing (for the living :)). So, here's a few pictures from the day:





It was so fun to think back on the day Jeremy and I got married. Happy memories! So, then on Wednesday I went to yoga with my mom and then Becky (Jeremy's sister) and her adorable kids came over for lunch and swimming and then Debbie and Jared came later. We had a fun time sitting by the pool and chatting. (And picking blackberries, yum!) So here's some pictures of the kids:









Yes, Catelyn has 2 lollipops in this picture. One for each hand. :)

So, it was a very fun trip. I started reading "The Host" in the airport Monday morning and I finished it on Thursday. Wow, it was really good. I highly recommend it to anyone. I also read "Breaking Dawn" this weekend and it was great! I think I need to take a little break from the reading though, because 2 huge books in one week is a lot. My brain and eyes are tired. :) But it was worth it! Anyway, so that's what's going on with us. Life is good. The garden is growing still! We've even had a few tomatoes and they are delicious! By the way, Jeremy is doing well too. :) This post was kind of all about me because he didn't come to California with me, but he's doing great! He went golfing last weekend in prep for his work tournament this week and he's still enjoying his job. He's on the 5th Harry Potter now and I'm so proud he's been reading so much! I think he's read more in the past 3 months than ever in his life. And he's enjoying it! Haha. Anyway, so that's us!
