Chicago

Work twisted my arm and I obliged and went to Chi town. Loved the city. Can't wait to go back, I just scratched the surface. Things to do when I go back: - Live Jazz Music - Pizza (didn't get any this trip) - Aquarium - A bike ride

July 4th

Here is the Man himself... Mr. Ryan Innes won $10,000 at Stadium of Fire. The night was pretty magical not only were the fireworks were extra sparkly, the beach boys rocked the house down. Everyone was on there feet dancing all night.

This is my fun new key chain... its always ready for a photo op. Bought is from Sammys Cafe they had a booth set up at the freedom festival. I went and walked around with Trina, Paul, Laura. Have I mentioned my life is rad?

This is us before Stadium of Fire started. It was Laura's first time and we had maybe too much fun!

O yeah... we're like friends. Bothers the girl you don't recognize is my new roommate Laura. I DEEP love her. She is really fun, real, spunky and the perfect roommate.

Temple Days

The Lovely Bride. She glowed all day! Love MY Jo... yes she is still mine ;)

Can you tell how much we love each other.... cause we do! What a fun filled day for us!

I went and met miss Ashley at the Bountiful Temple to do a session. What a rock that girl is... she has her stuff together! David Crapo said it was going to be the year of Miracles and I think he is right. Jo & Chris got it all started. I love them together. He just adores her and its so fun to watch them together. We're trying to give them some newlywed space but can't wait until we're all dinner parting again!

Eating this

You know life is good when its filled with food like this! What is even more impressive is the people I've been eating this with. I wish I had pictures of them... gonna get on that. You know when you feel like life is great. I'm had a few dream like days this past week. It started Last Thursday with a goodbye get together for dazzling Miss Lauren Casper. She is embarking on a new adventure in Washington DC. She is already missed but we're thrilled and excited for her. Saturday I spent the day at my parents pool.... DIVINE! Ky, Casey and Dane joined me and we played with cousins, uncles, parents and grandpa. We all browned up nicely and I was living the dream. I love when I can just relax and truly enjoy every minute soaking up the Sun. Its hard not to fall in love with you guy friends when there playing with children so I give up... I'm in love ;) Then we cleaned up and went downtown to The Dodo. If you haven't eaten there... GO! and get the Banana Cream Cheese Pie, it'll change you life. Last night Robert threw a dinner party. That kid knows how to cook! Just look at the flank stake with those crazy veggies (I wish I remembered what they were called- I was leery but they were delicious!) He is my kind of people. He is able to combine different types of people and somehow we all get together and have a great time. All the food was to dye for. I love my life and I love my friends.

Valentine, Be Mine

Dad bought the family Lady A tickets at Christmas for Valentine's Day. In the end real life happened and it ended up being me, mom, dad and Sam. It was a great Valentine's Day. It was Sam's first concert and concert going with Mom is always a blast espceially since we love county. Love my family... So glad I came to the right one!

Love

Some days I feel overwhelming amounts of love. Today is one of those days. This whole week my heart is just too full... its spilling over. I had a dinner with 20 of my closest single firends last Sunday. The fact that I have 20 close single friends proves that I'm one of the lucky ones. That doens't include my married friends or my family. This is what I know.... I am surrounded by incredable people. I have lots of personal hero's around me. I'm loved and I deeply love.

New Years... a back up plan

Some friends and I had a trip planned to Canada that didn't work out. SO... we planned a new trip because we're "do-ers." Last minute we price lined hotel in St. George and drove down. Our dinner plans didn't work out because the restaurant was fully booked. So we picked a new one. Then we went to go check out the mid singles dance (45-90 yr olds) there was no YSA and that was the mid singles dance... awesome! What did we do? Stayed. We laughed about it from the beginning. The boys were good to stay with us and we danced in the new year with the slightly older singles. It's defiantly a memory I will love forever.

I'll get pics from Ky and post em later.
