big sur.

honestly what better way could you celebrate valentines with driving down beautiful highway 1,

its bright, sunny + a flaming 73 degree 

(oh please please people this is some heat after our 53 degree heat wave in rexburg!)

it was beautiful 

i know how much zachary loves his outside time, 

 + boy do we not get to do that very much here in rexburg.

unless you want to dress like the Michelin man.

so i decided not to bring my camera that day.

we only brought the instax + the gopro.

why you ask?

idk wanted something different this time:]

it was a pretty stellar view that day that is for sure!

oh ps afton we love you:]]]

bridal shower - california

so the typical saying "always a bridesmaid, never a bride..."

well lets just say i have always been the bridesmaid,

i mean i have thought about my bridal shower 

but i never thought it would be real for me.

i was really excited to be able to have my bridal shower in california,

especially since my family doesn't live in that particular part of cali anymore

(actually we are pretty scattered all over)

but i was so happy to be able to share this party with old friends.

my bridal shower was everything i dreamed of + more.

chalkboard signs, cute little succulents, + doughnuts.

thank heavens for doughnuts.

zach was able to come help me open gifts at the end of the party

which was really awesome, cause i mean these gifts aren't just for me people!

thank you afton for everything you did for my shower. 

you went beyond the call of m.o.h.

and thank you so much to everyone that came and sent gifts if you weren't able to come.

it was much appreciated!
