Catching up!

Wow! Time sure can slip by! These past weeks have been way fun, first I went down to California, visited old friends, went to Laguna Beach visited our old beach grounds, then made our way down to San Diego. The temple down there holds a special place in my heart. When I was 8/9, our stake was so excited to be in the New San Diego temple district. It was my very first open house/dedication I had gone to, and I still remember thinking this is where princesses go to get married. I love the San Diego temple! We also went shopping in Sea port Village, a great get way I remember from growing up as a kid.






Then Mothers Day came around, It was so AWESOME to speak with my Brother! His mission is one of the strictest, he could only talk for 30 minutes. But I loved being able to talk with him and hear about his accomplishments, it reminded me of when I was on my mission, and how much I cherish that time serving!


Last, my friend Janet has a friend who plays for the Cincinnati Reds, and his team was in Phoenix playing the diamond backs, she didn't want to go alone, so I went with her, It was so much fun, we saw down town Phoenix, ate lunch by the field one day, and at a place called Alice Cooper's which I highly recommend it was SO good!!! We got to see two games, and then it was time to come home! I love the warm weather and the Sun, I always feel SO alive!!!

Memorial Weekend

So Memorial weekend was CRAZY FUN, it started out that My Mom and I were supposed to go to San Antonio, I had somehow gone blonde and didn't realize the Memorial Day was a week early or that the 26 was Memorial Day, I thought it was the next weekend, so a while ago like more than a month, I plan the trip. We are in Denver waiting for our flight and waiting and our flight gets canceled because of the tornado weather...Then the all the flights thereafter are booked! Totally Blonde! I didn't realize that the Spurs were playing the Lakers, I thought the game was in LA. So we flew to LA went out to Dinner came home. My Grandma wanted to go to her childhood hometown, so we decided to go there. We got up this morning to rain, we are in Enterprise and it is raining sleet, I'm like we are not going to make it, however, we continued on and when we got to Pioche it was partly cloudy and really pretty but kinda cold, glad I brought my jacket! So we spent a beautiful day in Pioche looking at the old history of the town and I really learned a lot! I learned that my Grandma was Miss Panaca, that she was a telephone operator for a short period of time. I learned about the Chineese who were forced to work on the railroad and the conditions they lived in. We also went to see Unlce Bill and Aunt Mary, they are angels and the nicest people I have ever met in my life. I love my Grandma so much, she is a wonderful example to me! Her life has not been easy, but she has always done the best she can. It was a good day to learn more about my family history.
