Ahhh, Utah.

Last weekend, Cam and I ventured all the way down to Utah for the weekend.  It was marvelous. Some of our family's good friends were in town from Cali, and we don't quite see them as much as we'd like to. WE HAD A BLAST.

Blue Lemon. I don't know if any of you had ever heard of it, but this restaurant is amazing, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Oh, and I ate way more than should be humanly possible. 

Hummus plates, sweet potato fries, FROZEN MINT LEMONADE, salmon, spinach ravioli.
I'm serious. Go there.



After sitting at the restaurant for a while, letting our food digest, we finally started getting up to leave when we walked past the Cheesecake Factory, so naturally we stopped for a late night dessert. Heaven.

Saturday was the best.  We went to Zupas, (now my second favorite place, after last night), with the Chats Fam before they flew back to Cali. Their chillens didn't tag along with us last night, but it was so great seeing them for a quick sec. I'm kind of obsessed with how adorable they are.
Precious, right?

We love them!


Later that afternoon, my mom and I shopped 'til we dropped, almost literally, while Cam and my dad played catch. 

Side Note: The morning before we left, Cameron woke up to a text message from my dad saying..."Bring your baseball mitt so we can play some catch." 

SUCH a little boy. But I love it. So sad i didn't get a picture. :(


Anyway, back to shopping... Cam is pretty much convinced that we are going to be claim bankrupcy. Ok, not even close to that, but the shopping in Utah is SOOOOOO good. It's easy to spend money.

One of my favorite buys: Maxi dresses. Got all stocked up for our Cali trip. Less than 3 weeks!

We also went to this Home Decor store, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Some day when I actually have more than 2 rooms and a tiny kitchen to decorate, this place will be seein' some Jeni again. 

We enjoyed hanging out with my parents that night, went to the movies and saw "Dark Shadows"...don't reccommend it, and then late night IHOP. 

And that was a wrap. It's time to move there I guess.

Happy Fourth!

Yay for the fourth of July!

This is my FAVORITE holiday. Cam and I got to sleep in (yay for class being cancelled)....and we watched a bazillion episodes of Wife-Swap.  That show is caraaazzzay.  Then we had a BBQ with Morgan and Adam, and Mark and Leah. SO fun! 

And then.. dun dun dun...
The I.F. firework show. Minus the fact that it took us an hour and a half to get home, it was fantastic. Ever since I was a little girl, fireworks were the coolest thing in my life.  Still are.  

I love days when the Mr. and I get to hang all ALLLLLL day. 

Hope your day was a wonderful as ours!

Happy Father's Day x 2!

Dad's are the best, and I'm grateful that there are two fathers I get to honor on this day.

My father-in-law.  Though he isn't here with us today, he is thought about every single day.

I'm grateful that he raised the love of my life, and was such a wonderful dad to 6 kids that I love so dearly!






And one can't forget my own daddy. I love this man. And all 235,998,130 of his lame jokes. :)

Happy Father's Day! 





Weekend = Bliss.


Oregon.  The most beautiful place you'll ever visit.

We had the honor of being invited to Cam's best friend Matt Gregson's wedding.

Side note: As we were driving to the temple on Saturday morning, the air got a little tender as just 6 months (to the day) before, we were making that same drive to attend our very own special day. :) awwwwwww...

Matt was a handsome groom, and Rachael, a gorgeous bride. We got to attend the sealing (my first one since my own :) and it was MARVELOUS.

Hope they're having a fantastic honeymoon in CABO!  Probably not ;)


Happy!
