Visiting Home

So I realize I am a little late in posting this, but better late than never!  My visit back home to Washington state was a magical one.  I got to see family I haven't seen in a long time.  I got to spend some quality time with high school friends, family friends and college friends.  My brother got married.  AND I got engaged!!  (but thats for another post)
Warning:  Lots of pictures!

Our family friends the Storedahl's hosted a great BBQ for us.  I love when they host things at their house.  The outdoor living area they have is absolutely amazing.

I got to drink some Washington brewed beer!!  I miss this stuff so much!

The grill masters

Took a trip up to the old house and stopped to admire the gorgeous view from a real hill!

The mountain made an appearance!  (luckily we were sitting still in traffic so I had plenty of opportunity to take a pic)

Me and sis at Derrick's wedding.

Michael and I at the wedding. (yes I did change dresses)

Showing Michael around one of my favorite cities, had to get a pic with the troll!

One of my favorite parts of the trip, CELEBRATING and catching up with these amazing ladies!!  

(Now go to next post to see why we're celebrating)
