back in america!

After being in New Zealand for the last three and a half months, I am finally home!
The morning after I got home, I was already back at the airport flying to Utah!! 

My flight was practically empty, which kind of creeped me out. I was at the front, and there were only about 10 other people. The good news was I had a row to myself and got to lay down to sleep!


It was an exciting week to say the least. . . 

I met my new nephew William! 


I went to the temple for the first time at the Mt. Timpanogos temple. It was a beautiful day and I loved having some of my family there with me :)




Wednesday I went skiing at Snowbird with my dad and Bryan. It was a little foggy, but the snow was great! I was happy to go since I missed ski season in New Zealand. 


On Thursday my cousin Allison got married! :) 
She made the most gorgeous bride. Congrats to Allison and Dan!


Temple Square


the next morning on Friday I flew back into Seattle just in time for my best friend Claire's wedding. So happy!!! :) I love her and Daniel together everything was absolutely perfect! 

I went to the ceremony and luncheon and then the reception that evening. Elias even came into town! 




to top it all off. . .Andrea got engaged on Saturday!! I was able to be there for the engagement (taking a video while hiding in the bushes) and I am so happy for her and Kevin! they are so perfect together and I love them both :) 


the happy couple! 


meanwhile back at the ranch. . . I still haven't unpacked from New Zealand and my room smells like a beach. But the good news is that I literally have three months to get organized hahah. oh goody :)
