My favorites!

OH HOW I LOVE THESE GIRLS!

Phil and Jenny went to Disneyland last week and made a stop in Vegas so I could see them. I would have LOVED to spend more time with them, but that is a long ol' drive from Utah to Cali, so we didn't have much time together. We went to the mall so they could get Boston some shoes, and I had a ball running around with the girls. I'm not going to lie, I LOVED that Adyson held my hand the entire time and kept hugging me and telling me that she loved me and missed me. I was in HEAVEN... I adore this family. Thanks for stopping in your travels to see me guys. I sure love you!

Lexi kept making this face, so I told them to make a mean face- I was cracking up! This was also Lexi's happy face, sad face, princess face...

Adyson thought this mannequin was so funny with her nose up in the air. This is her imitating it.It was SO GREAT to see all of you. Thanks for letting me come play. Oh, and thanks for the ice cream cone. That was definitely a highlight :) Love you!

Sadies. Yes, we are in 8th grade.

So... my ward was in charge of a regional activity this weekend- a Sadie Hawkins dance. So cheesy? Yes. But FUN! We made dinner at Michelle and Nichole's, took some photos, and went and danced our guts out. Many of you may not know this, but I am a dancing MACHINE. Just sayin'. There is nothing like going out there and shaking it- it makes me happy. We have a good group of friends in my ward, and we all hung out together all night and had a riot. I'm just grateful for good friends. I get lonesome without my family, but I really lucked out getting the friends that I have here. It's always a good time, plus they think I'm funny. I love it!
My date and I were Kelly and Zack from Saved By the Bell. We had Bayside Tigers shirts, I had a hot pink fanny pack, and I got to tease my hair up big. It was rad.
Nichole and Blake won best costume- they were Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.
Megan and Matt won most creative- they were Jon and Kate + 8.
Brinley and Cody were Thing 1 and Thing 2. Brinley made the costumes- she's awesome.
Laurel and Jeff, and Stephanie and Christian, were Sandy and Danny. Who wouldn't want to be?
Michelle and Bert were SMURFS. Yes, smurfs. And they look freakin awesome.
Melissa and Nate were Sonny and Cher. They called each other babe (I got you, babe...) all night. It was funny.

It was fun guys! Thanks for the memories...

Tempe Magic

The beginning of a beautiful relationship...
After district meeting in Marathon (one of the Florida Keys)
Simons and Goodsell, always a hoot.
Last weekend I went down to visit my old chums Brittny and Zane in Tempe, AZ. It was quite enjoyable. We ate a lot, and looked at scrapbooks, ate fancy desserts, saw the sights, went to the world market where they have all sorts of treasures, played games, visited the temple and picked a grapefruit for breakfast (there are grapefruit, orange, and lemon trees on the temple grounds. Pretty tasty! Holy, even.), tried real hard to look normal in pictures, and had lots of lovely chats. I do quite enjoy these two- I'd be hard pressed to find people I like as much as them, or who are as fantastic as they are. Brit and I have been friends for 7 years or so- long term friends are hard to come by sometimes. One of the many treasures to be found at the World Market. It's from England. A delicacy, perhaps?

By Tempe Town Lake. The lights were nice. Lots of people were having romantic picnics, since it was Valentines Day... t'was lovely.

Now that's a pepper! That was some mighty tasty eatin's.
At the Mesa temple. It's pretty! There were a bunch of people getting married- it was busy.

My holy grapefruit- it was delightful.


Good chums- Simons and Goodsell. Never not having fun. Thanks for the memories guys- I had a blast!
