Talk about a great day!

Yesterday was awesome. Definitely a noteworthy day! First, and actually not a fun part was moving Brittany and Elias. They have been such wonderful friends, and even though they're only moving about 35 miles away, it just won't be the same as we used to walk to each other's apartments, be in the same ward, do tons of things together, etc. We're going to miss them so much as they are such great friends! Thankfully, we get to see them soon.
The day got better after that. To sum it up:
I have been wanting to go to the Jelly Belly factory ever since we moved here from Utah, and finally Nate was the greatest husband ever and planned the trip! Basically it rivals with Disneyland as the happiest place on earth. There's seriously so much joy there! The tour is free, you get free samples along the way, and you get to wear a Jelly Belly hat. WHAT could be better?! But we had a great time and spent the day with Nathan's parents, his sister and her husband. It was marvelous.
Yes--that is really the address.
Basically, Jelly Belly owes their entire fame and existence to Ronald Reagan who used Jelly Bellys to kick his smoking habit. Because of that, there are Jelly Belly artworks of him all over the place.
You could buy these hanging jelly beans, as well as Belly Flops at the store. Awesome.
The day only got better when we spent the rest of the evening in Davis with Joe and Steph Schlottman. I absolutely love them and they are the best friends! It was great to see them and get the tour of Davis. This shop is where Joe works as the coolest bike guy ever.

ha ha how funny we were there on Thursday last week! Ry tried the moldy cheese and barf jelly bellys! He almost died. It was so great. We had a blast at the tasting table.

I love the blog!
