This One's For the Girls

I absolutely LOVE my sisters! Some of my favorite memories are with these girls. Everytime we get together there is no question as to whether we will have a good time or not. This trip was no different. We PACKED it in! We did so much! Most of it had to do with shopping of some kind, but every moment was so fun. I hadn't seen Melissa in over one year (it better not be that long ever AGAIN!) and so we were all so glad to finally get together again. Kristin was nice enough to let us crash in her home. We found lots of good bargains, ate lots of good food, went through a session at the Salt Lake Temple, and laughed all the time. I don't think we got to bed the whole weekend before 1:30. It was such a great trip and I can't wait to see them again! Love you all!

Who can forgot about our AMAZING Mom! We couldn't ask for a better example for us and besides that, she always leaves us laughing! We love Tom! =)

We were able to go on a VIP tour of the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple because Kristin's husband Jason helped do some work on it through his work. It was so beautiful inside and out!

Door County Weekend

So it was pretty last minute, but two of Dave's young men has a family cabin up in Door County. They were out of town for the weekend and asked Dave if we would like to use it. We cleared our weekend called up some friends and decided to make a weekend out of it. It was so much fun to get out of Milwaukee and hang out with our friends. We had a blast.

Haley, me, and Tiffany
These girls are so fun and it is a guaranteed good time when we get together.

Cuddling by the fire! It was cold up there but the boys made a nice and toasty fire.

Tiffany devouring her Smores. I had like 10 that night- I think I'm good for the year =)

We went to the one bowling alley up in Door County and it was tiny. It was really old and old-fashioned. I bowled a 100 both games so I was pleased with my consistency. The boys had a championship and the losers had to do pushups. Dave won one of them and monitored Phil and Judd.

After breakfast we walked down by Lake Michigan. It was freezing down by the lake and it was crazy because part of it was frozen over! This lake is huge and it was weird to think this is the same lake we go to in Milwaukee- three hours away.

I know, we're soooooooo cute =)

We ate breakfast at a Swedish restaurant and it was so yummy! I had to eat through all of the whipped cream to get to my pancakes, but don't worry, I made it through!

April Conference

My Mom and I were able to go to the Sunday morning session of Conference. It was so good to hear such inspiring messages. It was a great way to end my weekend.

Hanging out at Ladies Night

The whole gang! Well almost, Dave wasn't with me and we were missing Melissa and her family. There were definitely some empty spots that simply couldn't be filled without everyone there! But we will get to see them in May!

The girls all hung out while the boys were at Priesthood. Those are always a wild 2 hours!

Some of my Aunts and cousins were also down in Salt lake for Conference so we took a group shot together while we were all there.

Grandma watched everyone's stuff while we wandered around. This was the hangout spot while we waited for the boys to come back. And don't worry- my Aunt Nancy whose lap I'm sitting on is not really in a wheelchair. She was just occupying it for the moment =)

For the Saturday morning session I went over to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and watched the session with Dave's parents, Brad, Bob and Alyse. It was great to see them again and can't wait to see them again in May for Bob and Alyse's wedding.

Conference Weekend Day 1

Three of my cute little nieces. This was after swimming at the hotel. It's so fun when everyone gets together!

Dinner at Red Lobster- Mom and Dad were a little thirsty!

So we decided to help them out =)

Before leaving her dorm, I think Kerri didn't hear me when I said she would only be gone for two DAYS, not two months!! It was too funny I had to capture the moment. (In case you can't tell she had 5 bags with her!!)

McKenna and I hanging out at one of the many stores we hit!

I was so glad I got to meet up with my best friend from Provo, Christina. We only saw each other for a quick shopping trip at the mall but it was so good to see her!

I have so many fun memories with this girl! I have no idea what I would have done without her!

And I am so happy for her that she finally got the man she deserves! She is getting married in August and will make a beautiful bride. Chris is a very lucky man!

Lunch at Zupas- I miss that place so much. It was delicious!

Happy 26th Birthday Honey!!

Dave is 26 years old!! Man he is getting old! Good thing he has me to keep him young right? Just kidding honey! We had a great time celebrating his birthday. It was kind of a low key day because it was a Fast Sunday and all but we still made the most of it. I took him to Outback the night before with some friends so we did a little celebrating all weekend!

I made him his favorite birthday dessert- Banana Cream Pie. I think it's my new favorite too!

This little girl Kate is our neighbor and she LOVES Dave. It's hilarious. She is convinced she will marry him when she gets older. Too cute!
Here he is celebrating in his Birthday Suit!! =) What a handsome man!

Not Quite Sure What to Think About This...

Alright so let me give you some background information before I get into this post. About a year ago, I went to another branch within the bank to help out because they were short staffed. I was there for two days. While I was there, I helped a certain man (AKA my stalker) and apparently left quite the impression on him. When I left he asked a co-worker of mine who I was and where I usually worked. He asked him all sorts of questions about me (nothing too weird )and my coworker answered because he didn't really think anything of it. Well ever since then, this guy has been coming into MY branch (which is about 20 minutes away from where he usually went). He would always come to me and talk to me in a creepy voice, but again he never asked me anything too weird or made any over-the-line comments. But I did tell Dave his name just in case I ever go missing =) Anyway this has been going on since then and I try to avoid him at all cost and if I do help him I just am very quiet and don't answer his questions elaborately. He always asks me when I work because he wants to show me his dog. Well one day, I helped him through the drive-up and I gave his dog a biscuit.

Okay, so this past week he comes in and of course comes right to me. He hands me his deposit and then give me this envelope and says "Someone wanted me to give this to you" He said I could wait to open it until my break (yeah right) and as I took it I got pretty nervous because it was alot heavier than just a card. So after he left and I opened it and this is what it was:

The card says, "Dear Kelsey, Thank you for giving me a dog biscuit the last time I came to your bank. Your friend, Lilly.

And that coin is a silver dollar coin. When I got it I had no idea how to react. Apart of me was even more creeped out than before, but then another part of me felt really sorry for this guy. He obviously is lonely and doesn't have a lot to do with his time. I feel kind of bad because I am not always the friendliest because I don't want to give him a wrong impression. So now I am just going to be nicer to him, but still be careful and if things start to get weird, I will definitely take action. He did ask when my birthday was so maybe I'll get something even better =) Just kidding. Kind of sad though. That's my story.

A Couple Dinner Dates

I love Valentine's Day! Probably because I have the best husband in the world and he always out does himself. We decided to go out the night before, so Friday was more like my Valentine's Day. Dave decorated the inside of my car with cute valentines and treats and then brought me some roses at work. He is the best. We then went out to where else- the Cheesecake Factory- for dinner. It was awesome. On actual Valentine's I made a nice dinner and we had a great evening together.

This is just a picture of another birthday dinner (for Jill) at Olive Garden. So yummy! Always a good time when we get together. Sorry about the picture Haley, it's the only one I had- but we all know you are gorgeous!
