♥ California Love.

During this marvelous return to my hometown I have realized one thing:  California is amazing.

It is true.

I almost forgot how green the plants and trees are, how there is always a breeze during the summer, and how everyone drives at least fifteen miles over the speed limit.

After living in Utah for 8 months, it is SO refreshing to be back home!

My amazing friends threw what might possibly have been the most hilarious/fun/inappropriate/crazy bachelorette party ever.  

(Sorry we didn't get the whole group)

Gotta love my friend's choreographed "dances."

Needless to say, I received PLENTY of inappropriate gifts for my honeymoon.

 And although I don't feel comfortable mentioning most of the gifts, I will award the "most creative" prize to Kate Hargadon who gave me a pink baby blanket, baby picture frame, and baby hair clips for my "honeymoon baby."

Gotta love it.

If my fiance' wasn't such a stud, and if I didn't miss him so badly, I am sure I would never leave.

I love being home.  I love my family.  I love my friends.

Only 11 more days!!

P.S. 

Due to the upcoming Harry Potter movie, (the last of the series for those of you unfortunate enough to not have read them), I will be starting "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" today to once again embark on a fantastic journey through the written word.  The movie comes out in July, so I should have plenty of time to finish them all by then!
