first off, my dad's sandals kill me in this photo. he loves those sandals and khaki pants. i am sure he would have worn his khaki's if i hadn't called him out on it the night before. when we were on our way to dinner her goes "natalie look! i am not wearing my khaki's tonight." i was like, "lookin like a stud dad". sometimes he will wear those shoes with his church suit. seriously dad? i mean i know fashion isn't your forte, but come on! haha i love him for it though.
anyways... this family night was actually not a recent occurrence but when i was looking back through old photos of the summer i found these pictures and realized i never posted about it. since i am living at home this summer, a lot of my social life has been with my family. it turns out they are actually pretty cool. i dreaded the idea of moving home last semester but now i am kinda dreading the idea of moving back up to school. what! i have to take care of myself again? i am getting use to the fridge always stalked, no grocery shopping and of course these weekly family nights. unfortunately two of my siblings aren't in the picture. my brother james was probably out on a date and my sister jen lives in boston.
for family nights we get real creative.... we always go out to eat. i should make a list of my favorite places to eat in salt lake because at this point i have probably tried them all. red rock is definitely a place we visit pretty frequently. we are always on different pages of what we feel like eating so it doesn't really ever work to just go to mexican or italian. we have to pick a place where there is a wide variety so everyone is happy. they have a redrock in salt lake, murray and park city.
sista friends
this summer stacey and have become best buds. she is 4 years younger than me, so because of the little gap growing up it was hard to be close. i was always more close to my sister jen because there was only a 2 year difference. now that stacey is older and starting her freshman year at utah state this fall we have so many things to talk about. we both love shopping, boys and instagram so those are probably our main topics of conversation. we are total girls and being with her makes me feel like i am back in high school again. since most of my friends from high school or either married or moved away, it has been nice to have a friend to do stuff with. i can't wait to have her at utah state with me.
