Laboring

For Labor Day weekend, we tried to soak up as much time together as possible. It was fantastic! I absolutely loved the time Tanner and I had to do just hang out. 

On Sunday after church we drove to Santa Cruz. It was an hour and a half away, and I had been wanting to walk the boardwalk since we decided we were moving! I was a happy girl getting to ride the "ski lift" haha. It was definitely a hot and crowded day, but it was great nonetheless! We packed our lunches and were on the road, and it didn't take too long! The parking at the beach took an hour though...not kidding. Luckily, we had a gracious man who had an hour left on his meter and let us park there when he left. 





After all that driving and walking, we were starting to get hungry. We went to Pizza My Heart, and it was amazing! Definitely recommend for a yummy pizza and drink...they had the electronic Coke machine, so that makes it automatically better! ;) Perfect meal for after a hot long walk!

After the pizza, we were stuffed, but I wasn't leaving until I got my ice cream. I had done my research, and found this homemade ice cream shop that I knew we needed to try. They top your ice cream with MARSHMALLOW FLUFF (if requested) and toast it with a torch. I MEANNNNN. So good. The Marshmallow fluff was totally homemade and so so yummy. It was seriously amazing, and I keep thinking I want to drive back there just for the ice cream, and I'm serious.




the things us wives have to deal with... :)







We ate out all weekend, watched movies, and played with friends. It was fantastic!

Tuesday morning MarLeice and I headed to Baker Beach to try and extend the weekend, and it was my first time going. It was breathtaking! I'm so thankful for where we live!

as of late

2015 has been busy and great. We've made sure to spend time with friends, time together, and work on our goals. We recently got back from Santa Barbara, where we attended Tanner's cousins' wedding. It was great to be in warmer weather, and celebrate a delayed Christmas with The Zylstra's. 

this place never gets old.
We had two visitors this weekend! Shelley and Riss came to UT for the 3 day weekend. They stopped by the house right before we left for the airport, and I was so happy to see them! Love my girlfriends.
Tanner and Opa showed up to the wedding wearing the same tie.
The reception was at the Arts Center in Santa Barbara, and it's sitting on the beach. The sunset that night was killer.
When you have someone take a picture of you...and it turns out to be more of a silhouette. I'm cool with it!
The kids were tuckered out.
I got caught taking cupcakes for the kids even though the cake hadn't been cut yet...but somehow there were lots of missing cupcakes already... oh well, i'll take one for the team. ;)
We were all on the wives' sides this year for Christmas, so getting together meant having Christmas again! 
Soph just looked so cut with her new purse!
Love this eyebrow raisin' girl.

It doesn't get much better than a 3-day weekend by the beach!
