Meeting Mason

We were lucky enough to spend the past 10 days in Utah for Tanner and Jess' wedding. The timing was crazy (with the move this week... Yeah, more on that later) but perfect since it gave both our families the chance to meet Mase while he is still tiny(ish).
It truly was the best week. I have always loved being with family, so getting to spend 10 days surrounded by all our friends and loved ones was the best.
Riley and I decided we are just Utah people. We love the weather and change of the seasons, the people, the mountains, the fry sauce, the country music stations, the grocery stores,Cafe Rio, Temple Square, the lack of toll roads, and Neilsen's Frozen Custard. And while we are in no hurry to end this Coast Guard chapter of our lives, I think it's safe to say we are both looking forward to returning to the homeland when the time comes.
Anyway, the wedding was beautiful, we had dinner with our married buddies, hung out with "the guys", went to Riley's mission reunion, took Halle to preschool, and got some much needed R & R.
It was pretty hard to come back to Jersey. We leave for Virginia on Friday, so to come home to the stress of a move was less than ideal, but we are looking forward to another Coastie Adventure... And heading back to Utah in December!
