My college roommate Jami Bristow was married in the LA temple this weekend - and Ali and I were able to go with our hubbies. Hard to believe it's been almost 16 years since we were first roommates!
Matt and I felt a bit guilty leaving the kids with MeMa for the Fourth of July, but with a July 5th wedding in LA at 9 am, we had to drive down the night before. It was a nice getaway and we saw plenty of fireworks from our hotel room. But it's not the same without kids and sparklers and cheezy fireworks in the street - kids just make the holidays more fun!

Going down the day before meant Matt and I had a bit of time to explore - we drove by the ocean but the beaches were so crowded with people waiting for fireworks off of a barge in the ocean. It would have been cool but not worth staking out our spot on the beach hours before. So, we ate dinner, went to Sprinkles and stopped by the LA Temple. :)
Jami and Shayne were very happy - it was so great to hear her giggle. Her laugh is the best! We also got to see Stephanie, who drove over to meet us at the temple. I was so glad she could come see us! Steph took us to the best restaurant in Santa Monica for lunch called True Food Kitchen. We joked with her that we were up for anything, so long as they didn't have organic quinoa burgers... and despite actually having them on the menu, we really liked the food!
