Top 5 Reasons I Can't Wait for Summer

This keeps happening!

I know that I will miss the snow come Christmas, but right now I'm ready for some hot sun, shorts, and running around at the park. Livermore has a lot of bike trails, too, so we can go on family bike rides with Lucas in his bike trailer.

Jack in the Box!

I love Jack in the Box and I eat there pretty much every time I leave the state of Utah or go to Saint George. And now they have mint oreo shakes. Are you kidding me? I will be eating one every day for a week or so come July.

New furniture!

Ryan and I were blessed as newlyweds with a furnished apartment. We got a few book shelves and stuff, but none of the big things like beds, couches, or appliances. It was nice to not have to spend all that money when we were starting out. The stuff we have lived with for the last 4 years is kinda ghetto, though. I know you've seen our awful multi colored couches. And we've been using an empty diaper box to store Lucas's toys.

I'm excited to get some new stuff. Shopping always makes me happy. And I've been watching lots of HGTV so I'm ready to make our new place super cute!

San Francisco and Ghirardelli Square!

Ryan and I have been to San Francisco before and we're excited to be able to go on the weekends and do some sightseeing, and maybe get a sundae from Ghirardelli Square.

Graduation and moving on!

I'm excited for Ryan to graduate. I'm proud of him for doing so well, and getting a good education, and now a good job. I'm excited for him to be done with school and not have to keep writing papers into the middle of the night. I think I'm just excited to be starting this next phase of our life, and to be moving on. I know we're really going to miss Provo, and especially all our friends and family we'll be leaving behind here in Utah. Change is hard for me sometimes so I'm sure by the time June rolls around I'm going to be having a panic attack. But I'm anxious to see what's in store for us in the future and I can't wait to get it started.

We look forward to you moving to California too. Livermore is not very far away...unless it is rush hour.

That Ghirardelli sundae looks amazing! I bet it will be nice to pick out new furniture and get new couches!

We've been moved on for a while and we still keep the kids' toys in empty diaper boxes

I know by 'friends' you mean us mostly. jk. :) I'm excited to hear/read about all the fun adventures you guys have, but we really are going to miss you!

You're going to love it! And I'm totally jealous you get to go to Ghiradelli square regularly. I have been dreaming about their chocolate malt shakes ever since we left!

I just had a mint oreo shake at Jack in the Box yesterday. They are definitely worth moving to California for. It will be so much fun for me to have you living closer.

You don't have to wait for summer here in the Bay Area! On a bad day we're in the high 50s and an awesome day is in the high 70s. You'll honestly love it here. We're excited for you guys! Congrats!
