I'm Back

The kids and I went on a fun surprise trip to visit friends and family. We had such a great time with everyone. Our only regret is that there was just not enough time to see everyone that we wanted to. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. They loved getting to spend time with grandma and grandpa! I had a great time visiting with the family. I also got to catch up with some friends which is always a treat for me. We got to see snow and sunshine in the same week. I got to buy some of the only candy that I like, yummy chocolate covered cinnamon bears. All in all it was a fantastic trip. Thanks for the great memories everyone!

Tanya and Me. We met our freshman year at BYU. We both moved in on the same day, a few days before everyone else. I think she took pity on me that first day, I am glad she did. She has been an amazing friend ever since. We have some awesome memories together and I am so grateful for her.


Nicki, Cami and Me (AKA SistersO'Brien, Howell, and Brown)
We served in the same Mission and it definitely forged a bond that will never be broken. After our Missions Nicki and I were roommates and we had so much fun together. Those were some great times! Cami went to the U, but somehow we were able to bridge that gap :) Especially since she and I used to play hard, snowshoeing, mountain biking, trips to Jackson, WY and more.

Acting crazy with the cousins!
