I Got a BIKE!!! Yay!!!


Dave is the best ever!! I have been searching for a bike on Craigslist for weeks now and this past week I was bound and determined to find one. I went to a few garage sales, found nothing and then on Friday I thought I found one. It was a really nice bike so I emailed Dave about it and he told me it would be too small. I was bummed, thinking I was never going to get one. Little did I know, he had something up his sleeve. I woke up Sunday morning and there was a FABULOUS bike with a sign on it sitting in our front room. I was soooooooo excited! It is in like brand new condition. No knicks, no scratches, it has a new seat- all for $25! Makes it even better. I was definitely not expecting it. I guess he kept going in to my email and deleting all the bike offers people were sending me. Tricky guy. It was so much fun and I can't wait til it gets warm enough to ride it. Now we just need to find him one...It was the best Mother's Day ever- I can't imagine what it will be like when I actually have kids!=)

All good things must come to an end.....



After such a fun weekend, it was hard to say goodbye to everyone. Melissa and Mom had tickets to the afternoon session so I hung out with them before my flight left. It's always hard to go back to reality when you have such a fun time with no responsibilities. I would not have changed anything though. We packed a lot in and made so many great memories. Maybe we will just have to do it again next year....

Saturday Conference

Saturday was an awesome day. I had the great opportunity to attend both sessions and to be part of the Solemn Assembly and to sustain President Monson as our new prophet. It was such an incredible spirit and I will never forget it. After the morning session we all met in the ZCMI food court and ate lunch. Dave's parents and two brothers were there so we also got to see them. It was so fun to be with them, but we all missed Dave!


Me and my pal Christina
Right before the session started- my dress looks really poochy there=)
I love my sisters.
Brad and Bob- always a good time

My new lil' niece McKenna! So cute!
Hanging with the in-laws. It was so great to see them again.



Hangin' With The Fam





When we all get together it's always guaranteed to be a good time and this trip was nothing different. After having our traditional Friday night meal at the Olive Garden we ran a few errands to the Distribution Center in the Joseph Smith Building. Things got a little goofy and we had a lot of good laughs. We went back to the hotel and decided we all wanted dessert. So at 10:30 at night we dragged Dad out with us and we went to Macaroni Grill and all shared some yummy desserts. It was so much fun!! I love being with my family- I only wished Dave was there too.

Back Together Again!



We all met up at Zupa's for lunch. Man I forget how much I miss that place. It was so fun being together with everyone again. Then we went to Real Deals and got some cute home decorative things. It was alot of fun. We drove up to Salt Lake area and went to Cafe Rio for dinner and met up with my brothers Nicholas and Michael and his three kids. I miss Cafe Rio too=) THen we went to Michael's house to see our new niece Brooklyn! She is so cute and has such curly dark hair. We all headed back to the hotel and took a nice dip in the pool. Such a fun first day!

I LOVE Conference!!!



OH my goodness. I think April Conference is one of my favorite times of the year. I like October too, but April is just always so happy because it's Spring and I think everyone is just excited to hear what the prophet has to say after enduring a long winter. Well this Conference I was extra excited. Probably because I don't live near Salt Lake anymore and I got to see my family again! Oh how I took living close to them for granted. So I flew into Salt Lake on Wednesday night and my sister Melissa flew in Thursday morning. I spent the night at Kristin and Jason's new townhouse in Provo and went to BYU in the morning to meet up with my old roommate Vindie and to visit my old stomping grounds! I miss Provo so much- I never thought I really would!

Happy Easter!!



Dave is back from Honduras! Yay! He got back early Easter morning. He had a good time but man, I missed him here. We had a great Easter day- even if there was still snow. We had a delicious meal with our friends Judd & Haley and Jake & Jill. We are so glad to have such good friends out here.
