misen place

tyler took me out for a super fun date night. we went to a cooking school called misen place. we watched as they cooked our meal and explained each course. the food was to die for and the set up was awesome! i wish they had more places like this, it was so cool!

the huntington

california in the spring is probably my absolute favorite time of the year. the smell of the air. the blooming flowers. the perfect temperatures. i love it. spending the day at the huntington library, art galleries and botanical gardens was how we spent my grandmother's birthday.

in all the years i have lived in california i never knew of this magnificent place. it's nestled in a neighborhood in san marino, right on the border of pasadena where the houses are to die for! if you haven't been you need to go. it was fantastic. enough to see to spend days, you'll never want to leave.

we also decided to drive by the house from father of the bride. it was only a couple miles away from the  huntington! the neighborhoods we drove through were amazing. tree lines streets, super lush gardens and beautiful old homes that are all kept up beautifully. i think i need to live here. like seriously.

a visit from the rassmussen's

during our short time in vegas we have had some great people come visit us. the amazing rasmussen family came to stay with us for the weekend and we had a great time. we hit up grimaldi's for some insanely delicious pizza, lounged in our pjs and visited hoover damn for the first time! it was fantastic. we love you rasmussen family!!! thanks for being such great friends!
