Happy Fourth of July!

So yes it is 11 PM and Yes I have to go to work tomorrow at 700am and yes I took like a three hour nap so No I am not going to bed anytime soon! :) So I thought I would post some pics from this past weekend in California for the fourth. It was seriously a BLAST. Hope you guys had as much fun as I did!

That's right - it says House of Chicken and Waffles. It was REALLY good! I didn't know chicken and waffles went together, but apparently in Long Beach (and a few other Cali locations) it does.
The highlight of my trip was that I got to stay with my sister, her hubby, and my nephew Max. He is 20 months, SO cute and loved wearing his dad's head lamp. I wish I lived close to family ALL the time! I can't wait until Heaven when I will for sure be next door neighbors with all my siblings and our families. :)
Yes, that's right, the shirt says, "I can't help it, Good looks run in my genes. Just look at my Aunt." I found this shirt at the random red neck gas station after the Tim McGraw concert. Isn't he cute? Don't worry El and Amanda - I have one for Amelia and Scarlett :)

Highlight of the trip = the Provo reunion that occurred in HB! Tammy, Whitney, Brindie from Cougarettes came as well with their cute roommate Amanda Draeger. I Love these girls! Oh ya, I love that our friend Mike was our man for the fireworks.

My friends B-ryce and Sam at the dance party. I went to school with both of them and miss them!

Amanda, Whitney, Tammy, Me, Brindie, Brooke. All former Cougarettes except Amanda but we love her! (Wow I look REALLY small in this pic....)

There were a ton of single LDS People there from Provo, AZ and HB so we had a huge group together. It was really fun! This is just a part of the group of Peeps that were on the beach. So fun! I love California. Another reason to move there...:)

Anyway - Happy Fourth of July! I can't believe it's already the July. I don't even remember May!
