Derrick Baby

isn't he a precious baby boy...

Red Mango

this is my favorite treat. Pomegranite from Red Mango off Antelope drive in Layton. Try it out.

Missionary Exchange/Split

The other night I went with the sister missionaries and helped teach two investigators. I could really see myself SERIOUSLY getting into it all... It was fun.

Utah Game

against louiville. we win. This is Andrew, he just got home from the mission. from Ukraine.

I have also been doing fun things like haunted houses and corn mazes.

I also decided something. Halloween is my favorite holiday.

Be excited for my costume... I'm making it. You'll see.

X-Terra Triathlon Nationals

Michael after the race. A bit frustrated. Poor Mikey. Threw up after the swim. Then mountain biking, he got 3 FLAT TIRES!!!! 3! ... better luck next year...

We enjoyed waiting with Abbie's nephews

and family

Chris, Michael's best friend, finishing strong. He did the sprint (the shorter version of the triathlon).

Chris transitioning.

Getting ready!

Cute siblings. We like them as part of our family.

WOMAN SUPPORT!

U2 laser show.

We went. and also ate cookies. and it was fun. the end.

busy. stressed.

... Wow. I don't know if I've ever left my blog unattended for over 3 weeks at a time, my bad. All of the fun/not so fun things I've been doing- most don't have pictures. but some do. so I'll try and catch up.

Reasons like: I just did chemistry for 5 hours tonight- are reasons as to why I have not been attending to my blog. Sorry.

Ogden Temple.

I have made it a goal of mine to go to the temple more. One thing that Spain did to me was make me feel guilty for not visiting the temples we have here often. There is only 1 temple in all of Spain, and it was an 8 hour drive away. When in Spain I was fortunate enough to visit the Madrid temple twice. Twice in 2 months- was more than I've been to the temple in the past 2 years combind. Sad... To see the Madrid temple, click here and here

what are these flowers? does anyone know? I love them.

Something funny happened yesterday when inside... I was getting confirmations to do baptisms for the dead when all of this sudden- the power went out. It was pitch black for all of 5 minutes. and then the emergency lights came on. HAHA. That was an unforgettable memory.

College is hard.

and so are pilates. I love the weekends. I love school, but not all the stress that comes with it.

Welcome Home, Mason!

Mason just got home from England from his mission. Happy to have another friend back in K-town! My friend David, who lives in Spain, knows Mason. They served together in England.
This is David.

I think this is funny.

this makes me laugh for no reason.

Rockband Beatles Party, Tapas, and late friend Birthday Celebration

Jordan and Jace- my friends- had never met each other before this night. And what did they do? They played amazing duets together that had us all in awe...

Other Games during Rockband THE BEALTES

I was glad Michael and Abbie stopped by
I had a lot of friends come over for the occasion.



I was/am really excited about this as you can see.



I also made my own version of tapas with the help of Brooke and Abbie.
I miss tapas... so I made some!
and here is just a sample of what we heard... it's not that great of a recording... but it's something.

I love waking up every morning to....

...This. when i was in Spain (a phrase that still comes out of my mouth probably every day)... I went to the Museo Del Prado in Madrid. And I saw this painting and fell in love with it. And I came home to tell my mother all about it. And she secretly ordered this poster for me. And I went and had it framed. and now it's hanging in my room. And I love it.

This was the day I visited it.
