Finally Home!

(The view from my balcony! It's good to be home!)
(This is me with my oldest sister Sarah's adorable daughter Avery!)
(Here I am with my sister Leah (brown hair), her husband Hank my brother Daniel (on the right) and my sister Bethany. Who do you think I look most like?)
(This is my long time friend Kami with her baby Quentin and toddler Ian. Kami and I have been friends since we were 18 months old!)

(Here is Michael being surprised by the B-Day cake I ordered for him at the Cheesecake Factory. I know I'm biased but he's pretty much the cutest thing ever!) All pictures taken courtesy of my iphone! :)

We'll, we finally made it back home! After Vegas, we went to Utah to see my sister and brother -in-law in a play! Both of them are amazing actors, so it was really fun to see them perform together. We also got to spend a lot of time with friends and family and enjoy easter together. It was actually the last time my whole family will be together for awhile. My brother is leaving for a two year mission to Brazil in a couple weeks, so it was our last hurrah as a family.
It's really weird, but I can start feeling my family organically breaking away. My oldest sister Sarah is married (to Mike Walker) with a baby and another on the way. She lives in Lake Stevens, WA. My sister Leah, (the actress) lives in Utah with her husband Hank. My brother Daniel is going to be moving to Brazil and my baby sister Bethany is still in high school! (Thanks goodness!) With so many of my siblings scattered all over, it's nice to still have Bethany and my parents close by. (They live in Thousand Oaks which is about an hour away). I've always been a really sentimental home body (I'm a Cancer), so I really hate the fact that my family is all over. But maybe it's a sign that I need to create my own family. Yikes!
It was SUCH a relief to finally get home, so I took a quick pic of the view from our balcony which I love to look at everyday.
