new hairdoo

Conversation with Max and Ian.

Me: "Are you guys going to miss me?'

Ian: (without hesitation) "No."

Max: "Why would we miss you. We're all moving to Denver."

Me: "We are?!"

Max: "Yeah!" (duh, Aunt Sarah)

Me: "Actually, you guys are moving to Denver. I'm moving to Grandma's house."

Ian: "You're going to Washington?'

Me: (laughing) "No, silly. Grandma Mary's house!"

Don't worry, they are still confused about it! But, yep! I'm moving home. At least for the month of July! And it's official because I told my boss... anyone want to roadtrip/help me move all my stuff there???

change is all around

My old roommate, Jen, is getting married next month to Forrest! I met him for the first time last night. They are a great couple and compliment each other perfectly! I am so happy for her!



P.S. I got my hair cut. What do you think?

cinco de mayo

Jenna and I hosted a late Cinco de Mayo dinner party! We had fantastic guests, enjoyed delicious foods, and played a fun game (even if I can't spell!). We forgot to take any pictures this time, but it was a memorable event!

scratch test

A lady came into our practice to promote their allergy serum. She needed a volunteer for a skin test. I was the lucky subject. I've actually wanted to have one done. Now I hope that I never have to do that again. I started itching within the first minute.  These are the results after 15 minutes of patiently waiting: Most trees, mold, grass, and weed!

spring rolls

A few weeks ago, my friend Trevor and I decided to make spring rolls and they were delicious!

Sorry the pictures are blurry. I took them on my phone.

three years

When I turned fifteen, for some reason, Dad was the only one around. He took me for my *first driving lesson around the town. It was exhilarating. Then we went to Leo's for dinner and ice-cream shakes. It was a great day! I loved our daddy-daughter dates. I knew I was his **favorite.

*first driving lesson my parents knew about

**at least I thought I was his favorite, apparently he loved each of use kids equally, but I still claim to be his favorite

Dad always wanted an ATV. Later in life he finally bought one. We sure enjoyed that toy at the Sand Dunes and behind Spencer's backyard.

Everyone says I look like you. That makes me happy.

May is a month of mixed emotions. Mother's Day three years ago Dad was admitted to the hospital from complications of his cancer. Rachel and I decided we should drive home the next day. That was a long drive home. One by one all of us kids made it home that week. We were all together as a family. I loved playing the Hymns why Dad sang along. I enjoyed reading scriptures with Dad that week. We had some special talks together.

I'm sure grateful that our family can be together forever through

temple covenants.

Always thinking of you, missing you, and loving you.
