We just got to Utah for a couple of weeks. All of our family still lives here and a lot of friends. The kids are so pumped to be here. Sadly Kevin doesn't come. He has work and it is hard to leave in the middle of the soccer season (he works for Major League Soccer). So before we left for a long time Kevin and I snuck away for a little date.

Beach House Tour and Retro Kitchen
