home and its simple pleasures

back in good ol' gilbert for the summer. my how i've missed this place. don't get me wrong, i miss provo and all the amazing friends and the spirit of BYU but some things at home are just so sweet and i have come to appreciate all the things that i have missed about home:

• my loving family and the great times we have together (including my adorable nephew)
• driving around in my jeep
• late nights with my favorite girls from high school
• my mom's cooking
• my home ward with people that love and care about me
• babysitting for adorable kiddos 
• my job as a lifeguard and all my co-lifeguard friends
• watching pretty little liars with my mom 
• seeing the gilbert temple being built
• my bedroom

some simple pleasures at home i have definitely advantage of and its so good to remember how blessed i am

the gilbert temple is looking awesome

this cutie is so fun

ah mom's cooking.... 

ive missed the Bates kids

isn't my bedroom a haven??
