another Friday night celebration,

I am pretty sure I have been to more weddings this summer than anyone I know. Most of them have just been within the family. Like I said before, my big brother got married two weeks ago. I flew out to California a few days ago to help with their second reception. It was a cute little August summer night garden reception. Some of Anna's family made it out & we got to spend a few fun days getting to know them better. It was a blast to say the least. It was the first time I saw Tyler & Marlee since they moved to California & it was so great to all be reunited under the same roof. Now, I am just soaking up my last few days home before I head back to Utah & hit the books.

if there was ever a post to read, it's this one,

My trainer Rob may be one of the coolest guys I know. When he told me about the Ramsi Reed Foundation (his friend's little daughter) I couldn't help but read all about it. After seeing her darling face, I don't know how anyone could not want to help. Ramsi is diagnosed with a Mitochondrial Disease & has not even hit her fifth birthday. There will be a benefit dinner/auction for the Ramsi Reed Foundation to help Ramsi & other families like hers suffering from Mitochondrial Diseases. If you can attend this, I highly recommend it. If you can't, any donation helps. So spread the word so we can try & help this adorable little one, along with others.







Here are a few links to find out more information/purchase tickets to the dinner. Thank you!

the night before I gained a sister,

My charming brother Chad got married two weekends ago to the most darling/sweetest/beautiful girl ever (Anna). They will really be doing the world a favor someday when they have cute little brown babies. The night prior to the wedding we had a rehearsal dinner at Anna's house for the family & wedding party. A few toasts were given, a few tears were shed, & smiles filled their adorable backyard. I couldn't be happier with the new addition to our family.

Tea time?

Since I was a little girl, I have always loved to find reasons to dress up. Tonight my friend Grace had her bachelorette party & the theme was: Tea Party. Perfect right? It was held in my friend Jordan's gorgeous backyard that overlooks the city. The girls did such a wonderful job with everything & we definitely had our share of fun.

saved for a rainy day,

Dear California,

The rain here made me miss you today. Thankfully I will see you soon.

Love, Hayley

"the British are coming,"

Saturday night, I got a surprising phone call that some of my dearest friends from London had made their way to the States! Normally, I only get to Skype the Urie family around once a week.. so when they come we have the best time. So Saturday night, we made our way for some shopping at the Gateway in Salty City, & ended the evening at the drive-ins. I couldn't be more excited to be reunited with some of my old & dearest friends.
