My California Girls

A few months ago I was so lucky to have so many of my best friends from California come and play with me for a few days in Vegas.
It was crazy fun.
We laughed, ate, talked, played, tanned, swam, shopped, made ugly faces,
(which I of course won every time..picture definately NOT included)
We even got to see little Farrah....adorable!
I miss you guys soooo sooo sooo much.
Please can you all move to Vegas?!
It will be like ol' times, being poor students together, having our babies together, having no family around, being each others family, oh how I miss it!
People...you should see the "TALENTS" these girls can do!

Surprise Party!

This is a little late, but before my parents left we had a huge surprise party for them.
We had each table decorated as a holiday, season, or event that my parents would be gone for during their mission.
Thanks soooo much from the bottom of our hearts to all of my moms best friends who helped us with food, decor, planning...!
And to all those who came and even drove into town for it!
Megan we owe you big time!
It turned out wonderful!
And a special thanks to my sister Nicole for keeping that baby in her tummy until one hour after the party! You are amazing!
And the crazy thing was that my parents decided they weren't going to come to the church (for Kelly's fake performance) because they were too tired. Thanks Brando for forcing them to come to the most awesome party ever!

UGH!

To my sisters,
I know you say I am sensitive about these "things",
but seriously WHY does it happen to me ALL the TIME!

Again...again tonight, I am enjoying myself doing a little mingling with some peeps.
Having a rather good time when it happens...

How old are you?!

"Oh I am 24 thank you."

24! Really, because I think we look the same age.

(In my head...of course)
"Oh is that so?"
"You think I look half way through my thirties!"
"Wow thank you soo much, I am going to go home eat a tube of anti wrinkle cream!"
"Reeeally 10 years older?"

-----End of conversation----

People seriously,

I can't help it if throwing up with IV's in my arm for 9 months, and then waking up every 2 hours at night with a colicy baby for 18 months, and then doing it all over again 13 months later AGED ME!!!

Seriously, I don't even care AT ALL. And I was not offended AT ALL! But who wants to look 10 years older?

That's why the show is called Ten years YOUNGER!

But in truthfulness, I would take looking 20 years older if that's what it took to have my babies.

P.S. She has never had a Baby!!

To My Mother Dearest,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I love you
I miss you
I hope your day was wonderful!!

Soo much to do and soo behind...

My life story. Seriously will I ever be caught up?

Anywho...My mom has quit posting on her old blog and now has a new MISSION BLOG!
She will be journaling their experiences as mission presidents in the Washington DC South Mission over the next three years.
