Atlantic City

Last weekend we went on one last beach trip with our friends, The O'Farrells. We are so sad that they are moving! We went to Atlantic City, New Jersey. We had a great time walking the boardwalk and playing on the beach.

One thing all of us didn't quite understand was all of the lifeguards on the beach. There were like 4 of them every 20 feet(why not just post a sign that says "no lifeguard, swim at your own risk"? Sometimes i still do not get the East). They had this little rowboat that they took out to go "save" people a couple of times we were there. It was weird, none of the people looked like they were in any trouble. The boat itself seemed kind of dangerous though, it could really do some damage if it came down on someone' s head or someone got hit by the oars
I thought the boat was pretty great, so while Jeremy and Mike were out swimming, I asked the lifeguards if they would go out and pick them up as a joke. They told me no. Here is a picture of them frolicking in the water
It was nice to just have a day to relax in the sun and fly a kite. We'll miss you O'Farrells!

June Brides

They say if you marry in June you'll be a bride all your life. I'm not quite sure what that means, but regardless, I think June is the perfect month for a wedding! I got to be a part of two this month. Two weekends ago, I was in my friend from work, Jess's wedding. She was a really gorgeous bride and it was fun to see a bunch of people from work there.
Her cake was amazing. It was inspired by Cinderella's castle
Last weekend, I got to go home for my good friend, Cami's wedding. The night before her wedding, "the quad" (my best friends from high school and college, and yes, I realize that there are 5 of us :) got together for a bachelorette party. It was so good to see all of them, it was like no time had passed since we had seen each other. I think it's been almost 3 years since we've been in the same place. It was really special that we were all able to be in the Boise temple together for Cami's wedding. She was such a beautiful bride!
Cami had her wedding reception at the Boise train depot. That's always been one of my favorite places in Boise
it has a really great view of the whole city.
This is a picture of me, Brooke and Merilee up in the bell tower.
While I was at home, I went through some old pictures and found a few gems. This one was actually taken at the train depot almost 8 years ago
I think this one is from new years eve maybe 7 years ago
It really doesn't seem like that much time has passed. It was so good so see friends and family last weekend. Hopefully it's not 3 more years until the whole quad is together again!
