Weekend in Heaven

So this weekend was spent in Heaven.
No not literally.
It was spent in Newport.
Which is pretty close to heaven if you ask me.

Me, Jeff, Carly, Mom, and Dad all went down on Thursday morning and go back late Sunday night. 
Good time is an understatement.
Newport is where 2 PM means fresh donuts.
1 AM means dance parties.
3 McDonald's runs in one day is acceptable. 
and Diets are impossible.

Yes. Diets are NOT possible when you are on Newport Beach. 
You are constantly surrounded by yummy, and mostly deep fried food.
Donuts, Corn Dogs, Funnel Cakes, Fried Oreos, Chocolate dipped bananas, Balboa Bars, and Burritos.
Don't get me started about the Cheese On a Stick. 



What better welcoming to Newport than a plate of Grande Nachos from Sharkies?














Saturday was spent at Knotts Berry farm for a Layton Construction company party!
( No pictures :( )

HOTEL ART













On the last day, we had lunch in Santa Monica on the harbor. 



Sooooo yummy......

So if you were to ask me my favorite part of Newport, I would have a hard time deciding. But one of my ALL TIME favorite things in newport is Russo's Pets.

Yup. I am a crazy die hard dog lover 
(as if you didn't already know)

Russo's Pets is a pet store located in Fashion Island Mall.

I got to hold one of the puppies and let's just say tears were shed.


Have you've ever met someone who loves something so much they cry?

See you soon Newport, you did is good!

XOXO

End of a Chapter...

These past few days have been so much fun! It is the end of summer. School starts on Wednesday. I think it is obvious to anyone who has gone to college how I feel about that. Yikes. Yuck. Yelp. I do not want this long summer break to end. But hey here's a great idea. I am just going to stay positive. There are so many things to be positive about this time of year. Fall is right around the corner...which means it's almost time to break out the boots and scarves (my favorite) When Fall is right around the corner, you know what else is coming. Yup. 129 days until my favorite day of the year! CHRISTMAS! Anyway, the end of summer always unwraps a whole new box of excitement. Canyon drives on the vespa, general conference, fall break, thanksgiving, football, hot chocolate, halloween, oh and did i mention boots and scarves? 








Bear Lake Round TWO with Dubs, Tyler, and Anna!
We had so much fun boating, four wheeling, and eating!


Tram ride at snowbird with the fam!




























So goodbye Summer 2014 I guess. 
You did well
