So So Nice

I'm a littttttllleee bit late on this one but we finally got our Youngberg Family 

photos & I had to share some of my favorites:

As a family we've been through a lot but I'm so glad that Heavenly Father let us be together to grow and become better for ourselves and for each other.  

LOVE YOU YOUNGBERGS!

What It's Really All About

MAYDAY MAYDAY!! INCOMING MUSHY-LOVEY POST!!!!

Perfect Penelope

Bryan and I have been best friends with Justin and Laura Reyes for 2 years this month.  

We have laughed and cried with them, listened and vented with them, we have gone on cross country adventures and sat in the silence of each others awkward couple fights.

We have learned so much about each other individually and have become a part of each others extended and nuclear families and have grown to be our own little BOOM BOOM CREW

...

until just this past monday when a tiny eight pound spirit came into our lives, 

who made all of us in awe of her beauty,
excited for her future and
grateful that we get to be a part of her life for now and forever

The Boom Boom Crew finally made a baby....well sort of ;) 

Bryan and I supported their decision and helped in little ways at the hospital 

& may or may not have gotten too many cute clothes for her to wear

She is honestly the most perfect baby I have ever seen and being able to be so organically and intimately involved in their birth story has changed my life forever.

Justin and Laura were/are an unbelievable team and have brought little penelope into the world in the most peaceful and spiritual environment that they could.  They have already proved to be phenomenal parents and Bryan and I are so excited to be the best aunt and uncle to penelope that we can be!

Happy Father's Day Justin!  

& 

Happy 2 Year Anniversary 

BOOM BOOMS!

xoxo

You Need Money In The Summer...

With Flowers In Your Hair

Sunday (Bryan's only day off during the week) we decided it was 

time to venture across the bay to San Francisco!  

We didn't have much time so we decided to simply show Gus the seals 

& walk around Fisherman's Wharf.  

It's a really beautiful town & I can't wait to go back for eleven-zies

Simply Content

had a great relaxing day

& now I want husband to come

HOME

so we can go on an adventure

No News is...Good News?

I wish we were more fun
for blogs sake
but
this year has consisted of us as a couple trying to be BETTER
to buckle down even more than before
so that we can be more stable and organized


bryan has been working SO HARD for me & gusgus
& I have been doing all that I can to continue with my straight A streak


*side rant: whats up with online classes being SO MUCH HARDER than campus classes.  Why must I write harder and work longer just because I'm not in IDAHO?  I have to do group work and my grade depends on it, I hate it!  Especially when its obvious that others in the group do not care what sort of grades they achieve....k im done...


mainly I've been making a lot of tasty treats and keeping gussy company 
It's nice to have calm days and be able to actually CLEAN my house
and make dinner for my husband...most of the time...

late spring in CA is breath taking, really. I <3 it here

ALSO, Mothers Day was just lovely.  Bryan works so hard during the week I honestly didn't think he'd even remember that it was mothers day, but I was just excited to talk to my Mom that day.  


I woke up to breakfast, tulips & a real cute card!  
He's sharpening those butter-your-wife skills quite nicely.


& at church we got GODIVA chocolates! va va voom eh? thats what I say anyway ;)



HIGHLIGHT: I got to see my Titi Kenia on monday in sacramento!
she'll be coming here to CA for work until september!  how perfect is that!
can't wait to see much more of her (i'll take pictures next time, who knew sacramento would feel so home-y & beautiful)



lastly I want these shoes, real bad, like a craving I can't kick

$140

I'm a dreamer, I know I know
but if you'd like to buy them for me, I'd be ever so obliged!


Lately (cant stop) Listening to:


This Is The Kit
Oh Land
Proleter
& this playlist

Laters!

SOCAL spring break

wahoo! winter semester is over!

for the past two weeks we have been staying with family and friends on our journey to Livermore, California so that Bryan can work for the summer while I take online classes.  It's a great opportunity for us to make some worthwhile money & we're real excited.  As I've stated before, I've become an instagram slave so thats where most of my pictures will come from, but I think they look nice for now :)

Our journey began with our fellow boom-boom members laura & rachel graduating from BYUI!

penny is kind of a graduate too!

then we drove down to Alpine UT for the weekend to spend some quality time with Bryan's family for Easter.  It was so beautiful & it was great to see his cousins, mom and brother and sister in law!

just some sister hiking fun on easter morning after church

pampered pooch...I'm not proud of it but its the reality of the situation

Once we arrived in Southern California last Monday we went straight for the ocean for some sun and relaxation!  Did I mention my lil sister Imani came along for the drive and got to spend a few days with us here!  It was a lot of fun having her with us on the beginning of our summer journey!

On Tuesday, Bryan, Me and Imani got to go to LA (my 1st time) & 

see one of my utmost favorite artists play LIVE! 

Oh Land!

We got to LA a little bit early and decided to try one of the
local vegan bistros (SAGE) near the venue.
It ended up being surprisingly delicious & filling!

We were FRONT ROW, she looked me dead in the eye about 4 times & she jumped into the crowd & we practically hugged.  It was life changing and beautiful & I love her....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Laura, Justin & Penny

have a TON of people who love them

& quite a few of them are here in Ca

They were thrown 2 bb showers & both of them were perfect

shower #2:

that's all for now folks!  I'll continue to be better 
at updating this great lil journal of mine!  
especially since Mrs. Murphy is giving us a revamp 
that I am really excited about!



.:what a gem:.
