the weekend haps

Friday night I stayed up super late, 2 am to be exact getting ready for company coming in from So Cal. I feel like my house is pretty clean most of the time- but when someone comes to stay the night I want everything spotless especially the details...as in the closets, fridge, pantry, cupboards, etc. (Note to self, I think over the years I have accumulated too much junk- it is time to throw out some stuff!!)

You know those great friends that you have an almost unexplained amazing connection with? And even if years have passed it is as if no time has passed? I love those friends and it was the Vogels that came to visit.

Rob went to high school with Rayna. She is tall, blonde, thin, and such a babe. She has great style, it's like Anthro meets surfer girl chic. She is also a whiz with home decorating- this girl does her own molding, painting, refinishing, etc. without help. It's awesome.

Rob also grew up with Ryan, they surfed and hung out non stop. Rob was responsible for them meeting loads of chicks at college and probably got Ryan in trouble a few times while he was at BYU. Ryan still has that great surfer style and is uber smart- he can crunch numbers like no one's business.

Rob was actually the one responsible for setting them up, and here they are married 12 years and three kids later. Their kids are darling, so sweet and polite. It was so nice to be around that laid back So Cal style again, sometimes we feel out of place up here. Yes, I know I am from here, but I am a Cali girl at heart. They are actually thinking of moving up here...and we totally hope they do!

I failed to take any pictures all weekend, so bad!! Pretty much this sums it up and even in order...
