Time for another update! This past week has been a blast! Brooks and I decided to make a little trip to my hometown to see my family and take a little break in between semesters! We left a day early and surprised my parents late Wednesday night, by putting their "grand-dog" on their bed. Needless to say, it was a great first impression haha.
Packing for the trip!
Can't go on a road trip without these!

Road tripping.
We spent Thursday driving around Loomis and all of my favorite places, caught up with some great friends and had a delicious meal at the Cheesecake Factory with my grandparents! It was SO nice to just relax and have a break from school and work!
Friday was a mini girls day with my mom, which included getting my hair and nails done, shopping, and grabbing lunch! I seriously love having my mom as my best friend. Friday evening we went to my cousin Tyler's wedding reception! It was beautiful and so fun to see all of my extended family again.
Girl's day!
Wedding Reception! (and new hair!)
Love my husband.
Saturday was probably my favorite day. My family was pretty busy with the Upstage shows (my mom is a director of a non-profit organization group that performs) so I took Brooks to my favorite lake, sushi place, and shopping places of course. I was also able to introduce Brooks to some of my best friends from high school which was really fun. That evening we went to the Upstage show which was SO great! It brought back so many fun memories and took place at my high school, so I was able to spend time walking around with Brooks down "memory lane." After the show, we watched some home videos with my parents, and I constantly apologized to Brooks about our future children after he saw how mischievous I was haha.
Sunday was Father's Day of course, so we spent the morning going to church and catching up with some more friends I've been dying to see. It was a perfect morning, and my mom of course made me cry when we had to say goodbye. Luckily, my little munchkin brother Stephen tagged along with us to Utah for a few days! Brooks' little brother came up the same day as well, along with his mom and sister, so it was fun having them around for a while. We went to the pool, watched movies, went bowling, and hit up all our favorite spots to eat. It was a good time, and I was sad to drop Stephen off at the airport this morning.
Father's day remembrance. I love my dad.
Ready for the drive home!
Yeah.... we're terrible at bowling.
Fun night.
Sad to see him go.
All in all, it was a great week, and I'm definitely not looking forward to the reality of school and work again! Luckily we have another California trip in August to look forward to! Till next time!
