|| bard in the yard ||

i got home from brigham just in time to see brent and julie, who were in town for brent's aunt's 100 year old birthday... talk about impressive!

but first we got invited to elko's second annual "bard in the yard": a shakespearapalooza!!

 an intimate gathering of 50 in the back courtyard of a local bar/cafe. and they sold out!! in elko! wtf, right? elko is starving for culture! ha.

it was....hilarious. and then weird. and then hilarious. with a side of drunk james in full kilt (see below)

we were lucky enough to be right next to some of the action

this guy was the cause for all of the hilarity. homeboy totally self tans  a n d  shaves his legs. but does a good job acting.

also, amy poehler's twin..!!

after the...cultural enrichment, we met up with jordan's parents at mcdonalds for some hot chocolate (it was  s o o  cold!) and i witnessed three teens "hanging out" in 2013.  ... oh, society.

we chatted there, then went back to our place to relax, get ready for bed, and visited til late! we were all a little tired..

 

next morning we had a delicious breakfast, and all fit on our little couch before getting ready for church..! i just thought it was hilarious. and the greatest.

we all got ready for church, and  t h i s  guy.  he sure is the greatest father in-law a girl could ever even dream of..! so grateful for my awesome in-laws. i am the luckiest. thank goodness that salt lake is only 3 hours away..!
