Fun (Quick) Trip to Cali

Tyler and I had the opportunity to make a quick weekend trip to California for my childhood friend, Lanae's wedding. Since my parents were in China, Julia and Matthew let us stay with them and we had SO MUCH FUN!!!

We flew in Friday night and caught the tail end of their ward party. Saturday we went to the sealing in the Sacramento Temple, and back to Julia and Matthew's for lunch. Then while the boys and Lizzy went on a nature walk and tested out new functions on their cameras, Julia and I went to Ross Dress for Less. They were having their big dress sale, and I was crossing my fingers to find some winners.

(Look at those exotic eyes and gorgeous hair...she is so beautiful)

(CA state flower...the hills were rolling in green and wildflowers. It was such a treat to see.)

Well, the shopping was a success, but hopefully I can fit in my new dresses after eating some (okay a lot) of the yummy desserts at Lanae's reception.

(aka yummy desserts)

The sealing was beautiful, the reception was beautiful, and the bride was beautiful. It was so neat to see Lanae glowing with happiness. You could just tell by her face that she was content and in love. I am so grateful that I finally made it to one of my friends weddings! And I'm so grateful Lanae found someone that will love, respect, and cherish her for eternity. She deserves it!
