California was so much fun! I hadn't been for more than a couple days since after Ben and I got married, and Ben hadn't been since we got married! We got there on a Saturday, and that next Monday, my parents, youngest sister, and Ben and I went white water rafting on the American River, just northeast of Sacramento. It was our first time and we really enjoyed it! Here are a few pictures from that.
We also went to Ben's first MLB game. The SF Giants played the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates did really well and the Giants did not so well, luckily we had garlic fries to make everything better.
The day before we left for Utah, my mom, Ben, and I went to the Jelly Belly Factory, which is in the next town (city?), to go on their tour. Not exactly a trip to Disneyland, but one of those "have to do touristy things for new comers" aka Ben.
A few of my favorite things about going home include, the pool, yellow pear tomatoes from the garden, popcorn from the ancient air popper, and this year they had an amazing basil plant! Lots of pesto in my family's future.
Such a fun trip! We got to do lots of things, and it was nice to be able to spend time at my parents house. We have been back in Utah for a couple weeks now and since then, Ben has started school, I have started a full time job as a receptionist at a dance studio in Orem, and Ben got a FULL TIME JOB OFFER FROM JOHN DEERE! We are super excited, and Ben officially accepted the job on Friday afternoon! As of now we don't know exactly when the job will start (hopefully in January) or where we will be living, but we should find out in the next couple months.
Until next time...enjoy this weird new music video that is consuming my Facebook news feed.
