Welcome Home - Good bye

While I was gone Stephen planned a Welcome Home party for me with my roommates. So on Tuesday we had a BBQ family dinner. Stephen and I got a small cheap BBQ with our gift cards and we made meat and vegetable skewers. We had a great set up in our backyard and the Utah weather was perfect. Everyone stayed over for hours chatting with a lot of laughing. I love these girls, they are my family.

But it was also a goodbye dinner because Carly and David are moving to California. Thankfully we will still see them a few times this summer, but we are all heartbroken to be losing them. This was our last "family dinner" as we call them, and last night we all went to Zupas for our last night. We just love each other a lot!
