The Best Week Ever

Last week Tanner had a week off at the end of his quarter. It's crazy to think that one quarter is already done...where did the time go!? He is 1/12 a dentist, and that's kinda crazy. We chose this school because it was 3 years instead of 4, and sometimes we wish it was a lot longer, because time just moves so quickly! 

You know you're bad at blogging when you have to keep saying "I can't believe it's insert month" every post, but it's true! This is crazy that it's already October!!

We celebrated with our friends at Delarosa, a delicious Italian restaurant, and then headed to Super Duper for some shakes. The whole night we were still separated girls/boys, because I don't think we really knew how to talk to our spouses anymore, haha! The boys couldn't stop talking about their finals, but luckily by the end of the week it was better! :)





We had booked flights to Utah for a couple days, and I'm so glad we did! However, Tanner's Friday final got cancelled, and so did my work, so we could have left Thursday night! But, instead we headed to the beach for some relaxation, and were able to deep clean the house after a crazy week.
We arrived in SLC around midnight, and stopped at Krispy Kreme's for donuts with our friends, and then had a slumber party until about 2:30! It was crazy and we loved it.
We then went to good ole' Kneaders with our friends and family, and it was delicious of course! 
My next stop was Sodalicious with the girls and some shopping, while the boys played tennis, sold our scooter, and took a longgggg nap.


Then that evening we hit up Cafe Rio which made our hearts so happy. We ended the night with some s'mores, good music, and lots of laughs.






The next morning, Sunday, we attended church, and then went for a beautiful drive up the canyon before we headed to be with the Zylstra's. Unfortunately Utah was pretty hot while we were there, but the leaves had still changed and it was beautiful as ever!











We then went to Tanner's brother's new home they just built, and it was such a blast to spend a couple days with their family. 


We even had the best view of the blood moon!


On Monday we had a little spa day for an early anniversary celebration (I can't believe it's been another year almost!), went to the BYU bookstore, met up with some friends at Slab pizza, explored how much Provo has changed in 6 months, and drove by our old house! We then went to dinner with the Zylstra's and stayed up late eating ice cream and watching Netflix.

On Tuesday, we had a couple errands to run before we left, so back in Provo we met up with Shelley for lunch at Cafe Rio again, and then drove up to SLC for dinner with the fan before we left. 
It was a quick trip full of family time, and lots of food, but we are so happy we went!





When we got back to San Francisco, I had to work the rest of the week, but we still got to sleep in together and have fun in the evenings (which we had missed!). 
Wednesday night was a memorable evening of biking down the Embarcadero to the Giants vs. Dodgers game. We scored with a FREE bike valet (who knew there was such a thing!?), and great priced tickets! We devoured diet coke and garlic fries, and had such a good night with Chad and Melissa.


Isn't this sunset amaziiiing?









I had a "few" tears shed Sunday night and Monday morning realizing that our week of fun was suddenly over. This quarter is going to be even more rough, so already looking forward to the 2 days off at Thanksgiving!

Cheers to fun, and husbands!

other life happenings (according to my iphone)

I am been away from the blogging world, so I'm trying to catch up a little bit! Here are some happenings as of late.

-I had my last day working at Roll Up Cafe. It was lots of fun making crepes everyday, but i'm really not going to miss working until closing, which is 2am!

 

We had a ward yard sale, and the only thing that got us through not having our husbands there due to finals, was having the sun come out, and drinking sodalicious. 


Our friends are getting married in the same weekend, and we can't wait. We celebrated Emily, with the cutest backyard shower, and a fun bright balloon.













Shelley and I seriously make these faces in every picture we take...


We had our last Sunday in our awesome married student ward. We are going to miss our bishop and the people so much! Had to document our last Sunday in the house.


A couple nights before, Scott and Brimley were over and Tanner tried on his graduation outfit for us. :)


We took our niece overnight before we moved.





We went to chik fil a for dinner, Tanner practiced his chalk skills again, we slept, Soph ran into our bed that morning (our favorite), and then we took Tanner to school and got donuts!




The next night our family came into town, so we had dinner with them, and Liv and I had a photo shoot.



We packed up our house with lots of help from our family, and loaded our huge Penske truck. You never think you have that much stuff until you're literally stuffed to the brim...



We got shakes with our best friends and snuck back to the Bench's house after they left because we weren't ready to say goodbye yet. We are really going to miss them....I can't think about it.



After graduation, Tanner was so done with pictures... but I wasn't! :)


Our last supper in Utah... Cafe Rio. Couldn't have picked anything better.


Soph was playing hairstylist...with water...and traced our hair and eyebrows... it was great! :)



Going to miss our fam.


We didn't buy a lock for our truck, and since we were leaving early in the morning, we brought it to the hotel. We had some great parking skills, right? No one was gettin in!


Our beautiful first home in Utah, that I miss everyday!


Don't know what is goin on in this series of pictures, but it makes me laugh!




The goodbye to Soph was the saddest thing ever.


After I stopped crying, we had suckers on our drive.


We hit crazy rain and wind the whole entire ride. Literally thought we were going to flip over.


And Tanner likes to freak out his mom, so I sent this to her while on the drive since they were driving our car.


We are finally getting settled into our room in California, so it feels good! We are excited for this adventure (as much as I miss Utah already).
