a solo visit home

being home this week has been the best, despite being here solo...

chase had to stay back in the bay, so everyone is missing him! {especially ME.}

i came back because my best friend from high school is getting married, so there are endless festivities! it also was perfect timing because i got to surprise my dad for father's day, help plan a 5 year high school reunion, throw a bridal shower for abby, be with family, celebrate chase's mom's birthday, help with a few other showers, {it's wedding season!} and just enjoy the mountains and being home. i do miss the bay though! here are some pictures of being home so far. one more week here for the wedding, then back to the bay!

starting his job with google, so he has been enjoying our favorite pad thai in front of 

the painted ladies in SF, bowling at google, playing with our best friends dustin & kendall,

hanging out with his adopted brother paris, and facetiming me... oh, and he got a massage yesterday. he is living it up while i'm gone! haha. it's no fun to be apart, but i sure am excited to see him next week and head off on an adventure together!!!
