July begins

Can't believe it's already mid July.
The basement/backyard projects are finally finished. At long last!! I really can't even explain what a relief it is to be completely done. It took WAY longer than we expected and being pregnant makes everything seem so time sensitive. We still have a few projects from our end but i'm glad to be done dealing with a negligent general contractor and random workers in my house at all hours. However with all that being said, I am very pleased with the end result and it was really fun to see all of my planning and designs come to fruition. Home tour pictures to come!
We took a day trip to San Francisco! Vivint Solar is getting ready to move into a new building, and eventually have a building built for them so they have been working with an architecture firm in San Francisco on the plans and design. The firm invited them out to tour some of their recent projects and invited the wives along! It was my first time on a private jet and yes, it was amazing. There were 4 couples who went and we met one more there. They sent the girls to the spa, lunch and shopping while the guys all met and toured then we re-convened for a little more shopping and an amazing dinner. It was so much fun to just be somewhere totally different for the day and be with a fun group of girls doing relaxing and fun things... just to take a step away from normal life for a day! Our cute neighbor Lauren babysat the kids and they had a great time. I was so glad that Paul invited me to tag along and get a taste of what his traveling life is like when he's away from us!

 The 4th of July was busy and very fun and festive: Provo parade > BBQ at our house > naptime > Todd Petersen party (face painting, cotton candy, blow ups and bounce houses, food, treat bar...)  > Stadium of Fire. We rocked out to Carrie Underwood and watched the fireworks keep coming and coming. It was a great day to celebrate America.

Other activities we've been filling our time with: trips to the splash pad, a trip to the Hogle zoo, getting to see Mike and Jenna and Bailey a little bit while they are here visiting, and also a going away party for Brad and Kinzie Hancock (moving back to Texas and they will be missed!)
