4th of July Weekend!


So a few of our friends came out 4th of July weekend and stayed at our apartment while we were up in Utah. And the night that they arrived, Josh came home with this enormous pizza for dinner. It was 3 feet long.. he said it would barley fit in the back of my car. We ate every piece! Well ok I think there were maybe 2 or 3 small edge pieces left. It was soo good to! You can kinda see in the picture with the box all the way open... it was as long as our table. It was soo sweet!


So.....On our flight home we flew from Salt Lake to Vegas, then from Vegas to San Diego, and on our first flight we ran into my brother in law (Jared)...his brother Joshua was on our exact flight. They were actually flying out here to come to Poway! When they told us that, we busted up laughing because were like hey that's where we live! And no one has ever really heard of Poway... So it was a very small world. It was fun to run into him tho!


Nik, Dawna, Josh and me eating yummy Costa Vida!! Oh we love it so much!


Sweet Fireworks!!!!

For the 4th of July we went to Utah for the weekend because Josh's sweet Great Grandma passed away, so we went up there for the funeral. So there were parts of the weekend that were very sad, but we also were able to see all the family up there, so we did love seeing everyone. It was just sad that it had to be on those circumstances. For the 4th of July we went and saw Ice Age 3. We all laughed and enjoyed the movie. Then from there we went and put our blankets and everything down in this grassy field next to BYU stadium, because that was where the fireworks show was going on. It was a busy busy night with people lighting off their own fireworks waiting for the show to begin. We relaxed on our blankets, the weather was beautiful, and enjoyed being there with everyone.
For dinner we experience the amazing....longly missed....Costa Vida!! Josh and I have been missing good old CV since we've moved out here. (sadly there are none in Cali....they should def change that.) So.....we were sooooooo excited to go there for dinner that night. It was right down the street from where were going to be watching the fireworks. My sister Savanna used to work there when she was going to school up there this last year. And now Josh's sister Janessa works there. So it's just a great place!!! Josh and I were looking forward to it all day! And finally the time came to go get dinner. And it was absolutely amazing! Yes it may seem like we are a little obsessed.. but we have just been deprived of it since we moved out here. And we live a mile away from it back home.. so we def would go there lots.

It was an all around good weekend. We've missed all the family, so we loved seeing everyone!!

  1. Tanner and I sat alone, in our car, in a Burger King parking lot and watched some fireworks that were going off somewhere near the mall..... that we only happend to see when we were heading to the movies. The radio played some patriot music as we were watching, that was nice of them. It wasn't my favorite 4th of July, but no body was doing anything! Freaking gay. Everyone was like "I don't want to drive in traffic. and I don't want to deal with all the crowds." blah blah blah... It's the 4th of July people! This is the freaking US of A!!! Get it together. I'm glad you had such a nice evening though. Next year I'll plan a party at our new house and make everyone go see fireworks.... Oh wait we're never getting our house.

    Wow, this has been quite the bitter comment.
    Victory is mine!

  3. Ok...I had NO idea that you live in Poway! We've been there so many times to stay with our friends who used to live there, now they live just down the road in Rancho Bernardo. Too funny. It was great to see you guys in UT! Hope all is well. Loves!
