Reception

Another weekend, another whirlwind trip to California. This visit was for a very happy occasion, to see my BFF Melanie marry her love Jacob. My parents and I went together to the beautiful sealing at the LA temple, where Robbie and I were married three years ago. The sealer was even the same man who married us! I spent all Saturday with Monrovia friends at wedding festivities dressed as a bridesmaid (you know, for Halloween), and by the time I flew home last night, I was exhausted. But it was a happy kind of exhausted.

I was a little sad to leave the southland—I am always sad to leave my family, and this was a particularly short trip, but I was also sad to leave 80 degrees and sunshine. Apparently I missed out on DC's "Snowtober." Not too bummed about that—Halloween weekend is TOO EARLY for snow.
