Girls Just Want To Have Fun!!!

I was able to spend a weekend with eight of the greatest women. These are girls that I went to high school with 12 years ago. Some of which I have not seen since high school. It was like time had stood still and we picked up from where we left off. I couldn't believe how beautiful of each these girls were. I have to give a thanks out to Leslie, Meredith and Tara for having everyone to Boise. Tara opened her home for all of us. They were ideal hosts, they fed us and entertained us. You girls are the best. I was able to drive to Boise with Molly and Amy. It was the quickest 51/2 hours I have spent driving. It was so fun to catch up with these girls. This whole weekend all began for Molly. She lost her beautiful daughter Lucy, who was 23 months old about 4 months ago. We got together to be with her. When we got to Boise, Janeese, Mandy, Lyndi and the Boise crew where already there. What a reunion. It was a night full of good food and great laughter.

Saturday was filled with a yummy breakfast and some more talking. We decided to hit the town of Boise. We had a good lunch, and walked around Boise. We were able to take some fun pictures. We then headed back to Tara's and we made dinner and sat around and talked. Meredith gave some a pedicure after dinner as we sat around and talked some more. As we sat talking, I looked around at what some of these girls had gone through and loved them even more. Each of us has our own stories and our own trials. With tears in my eyes as I listened to each trial, I was truely humbled.

Molly and her beautiful little girl brought us all together again. She is a very strong women. I am honored that she would share her story with us. My heart aches for her and the times she has ahead. Her story has influenced many people, including me and my family. Thank you girls for an amazing weekend. It is one I will hold close. For those who weren't able to make it, you were missed.

Crazy Weekend!!!

We had such a fun weekend. My sister Lesli, brother Mike, my sister in law and their two kids came down for the weekend. Lesli stayed at Michelle and Cam's, and Mike and Shay stayed at our house. They got here late Friday night, so we talked for a little while and went to bed. Saturday morning, we went to Andrew's football game. He is playing tackle football this year and he loves it. It is so fun to watch and they have an awesome team. So far they are undefeated. After the football game, the boys went to the BYU football game, which was a major blow out! The girls thought we would go shopping. What were we thinking!! We went during nap time and had some serious melt downs, Shay walked out of Gap with clothes in her hand, and Lauren's feet hurt. Lets just say we didn't last real long, but it was so fun.

After the boys got home, we had a babysitter and the grownups went out to dinner. We laughed and ate some good food. After we got back, we bathed the kids and put them to bed. We then made some party mix and played a mean game of hand and foot. Sunday morning we went to my ward and Mike, Lesli and I sang in my sacrament meeting. I love singing with them. It is alot of fun. After sacrament meeting, they headed home. The whole weekend was so fun and I laughed so hard. We missed Dan (Lesli's husband) who had school, and we missed Meg. She had her mother in laws birthday party. I look forward to Christmas when we can all be together. We also really missed my mom and dad. They always are the best to be with. Thanks guys for coming. It really was a great weekend.
