Like, why didn't anyone tell me that I NEEDED to live there every day for the rest of my life?!?! Because seriously it was everything I had hoped for and more. The weather was perfect. The view from EVERYWHERE was amazing. I never found a spot in CA that I didn't look out and think, "WOW."
Let me prove my point here, because I feel like you might not be convinced.
Can I also just say that every one of these pics is unedited, un-photoshopped, and unfiltered.
So now that you get it (I trust that I made my point to you), I can move on and tell you about Amanda's wedding. It was in the Redlands, CA Temple.
It was my first time to see a sealing (wedding) in the temple. There were so many of us. I counted something like 30 chairs and about 65 people (not including the bride and groom). It was crowded, but also lovely. The person preforming the wedding said he hadn't ever seen a "party"this big outside of Polynesian weddings. Hahaha.
After the wedding and some pics of the couple, Lindsey, Lisa, and I went out to lunch, ran some errands and then made our way to the reception. We were a few hours early still, so we walked around the California Citrus State Historic Park where her reception was to take place.
Then there was the reception. It was so much fun! Usually I don't have a ton of fun at receptions. They get boring really quick, for me. But this one was not only beautiful, but a lot of fun.
My lovely ladies!!
They also had THE BEST cupcakes I've ever had in my life there! And a In-n-Out food truck. Yeah, you read that right, a food truck (with a very attractive worker who I wanted to bring home to Texas with me)!
This was a s'more cupcake and this picture does it NO justice. So delish!
Also, I got new glasses.
Oh California. You won me over.
I went to California for the first time last year with the kids. I had always thought Cali was overrated, but then we were there and it was NOT and I came home and told Jeff that we should move there and he was like,"whaaat??" and we didn't bc it is so expensive and I didn't want to live in LA, buuuuut man. Totally great.
ReplyDeletedo you remember my "video" of the "pictures" Hallie took when we were in CA last summer? I was totally comparing my experiences there with what you said. Ha ha. I wish I could have yours! Not that I don't love visiting his family...
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. I enjoyed our trip down the Pacific coast highway but I will keep my CA visits to just visits. love your dress. And we could be winners with those glasses you got. They look great on your face, nice work.
