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!
^^ coming up my street! ^^
^^ lots of family time, yay! ^^
^^ 5 year high school reunion ^^
^^ dunn girls ^^
^^ home always = the best food ^^
^^ had a fun birthday outing for chase's mom, pizzeria limone + pedicures! ^^
^^ helped with this cute shower for travis + lexi ^^
^^ dunn fam packed in the car to visit the manti temple, 
where my grandpa grew up. so gorgeous! ^^
^^ what i wake up to every day. mountains outside my window, 
and kona pup sleeping right next to my bed ^^
^^ city creek shopping with my pretty mama ^^
^^ a fun outing with gram & mom to the best new place in sugarhouse! ^^
 ^^ my mom and i made FOUR dutch oven peach cobblers for a fun camping shower ^^
^^ i was obsessed with the favors our friend did for the camping shower! camping cups from REI, filled with s'more ingredients! pinterest worthy if you ask me ^^
^^ seeing lots of friends, and getting lots of froyo {yay for yogurtland coming to SLC!} ^^
^^ spending time with chase's family, and getting to witness this..haha ^^
^^ lastly, lots of time has been spent in my favorite millcreek canyon ^^

meanwhile, don't feel too bad for chase. he has had a little break before 
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!!!
more updates from SLC to come!
