Beach Bonfire Bridal Baptism weekend with my Besties
YUP. You read it! It was a marathon weekend in San Diego with 10 girls from my hometown. We spent a day at the beach, bonfired at the beach (haha I think I just made that a verb?) had a bridal shower and a baptism. It was insane. Tons of love, girl talk, tears, and friendship. It was amazing.
We drove down on Thursday (June 17th - and I'm just now getting around to posting :/ sorry!!).
It was my two friends Courtney and Emily who joined E and I in our car. E wasn't invited to the girls weekend, but we decided to drive down and drop him in LA on the way to San Diego. So we dropped him around lunch at BJ's and met E's parents and Sierra, and Craig/Chris/Molly for some pizza and pizzzoooookie. I love it. I was only half grumpy about the burned pizookie platter and the two-hour wait, but I couldn't be too sad because we had too much fun coming!
We played games, hung out at the beach in La Jolla, shopped and just bonded until the rest of the gang arrived Friday afternoon. It was a wonderful reunion, it had been ages since we had all seen eachother! Saturday I got to go to them temple with Lauren, Mollie, Chelsea and Sam which was beautiful...except they had scaffolding all over the temple! I think I might have been sad if that was what it looked for my wedding pictures... :/ Still beautiful though, and no leaks is good news?
While we were templing the rest of the gang cleaned and set up for the shower. We had a beautiful bridal shower, games and food included of course. Then we practiced singing and headed to the church for the baptism. Afterwards we headed back to the house for a post-baptism dessert party turned dance party. Haha it was such a wonderful day.
Sunday the festivities continued with a visit to the Mormon Battallion historic site, confirmation and two speakers in church and then we all had to leave :[.
Lucky we will all be back together at the wedding on July 31, so it wasn't goodbye forever! We made it home by midnight, and I definitely slept well!!
also, we love taking pictures.... I love these girls so much.
Changing on the beach... Normal.
Steve borrowed E's sweatshirt.. with the hood on he confused me so many times :]
I love you all, thanks for making it such a wonderful weekend. Now I just have to wait for July 31! XOXO
