Prayers

I got a call from my dad yesterday about one of my closest friends from home. She was due this week and yesterday she had a miscarriage. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they are going through a really hard time right now. Thank you!

Camping

This weekend my roommates and some friends from the ward went to Payson Lakes to go camping. It was absolutely beautiful up the canyon and the weather was perfect!! We started off fishing, then headed to camp and Kyle made some amazing chicken, we had smores, and then listened to Kyle and Daniel play their guitars. They sounded awesome together! There were lots of laughs and the trip ended up being a ton of fun!! Here are a few pictures

The Robinsons

The past few nights I've been over and Doug and Heather's a lot because Doug is looking for jobs in Arizona, so Heather and I have had girls nights (with the kids). Wednesday night we went to ice cream and rented a movie and last night we went to dinner and then watched Grays Anatomy. I know they've been wanting to move for a while now, but it really hit me last night for some reason. As I was putting Elizabeth to bed she looked up at me and said "Love you" I told her I loved her too and she said "I love you more" Right then I lost it. I don't know why last night it hit me like it did, but it did and it hit me hard! I walked into the living room, looked at Heather, and started crying.

Heather and I have lived near each other for the past 20 years and we've only spent 6 months apart, when she was at ASU. We met when we were in Elementary school and have been friends ever since. She has been there for all of the good and bad times. She was there when I first held a boys hand, for my first kiss, for prom (she actually went to my prom) my HS graduation and she is actually the main reason I'm living in Utah. She told me we were moving Utah and I told her she was NUTS! Now look at me 4 years later :) I was going to post a REALLY old picture of me and Heather, but I thought I'd be nice to both of us and just go a few years back instead of 20 years back :)
Doug and I have always been pretty close, but when he moved to California for a few months before leaving on his mission and we became even closer. I didn't think it was possible for us to be any closer than we were, but now with both of us living in Utah and him marrying Heather we have become REALLY close! Its so crazy how much we are alike! Its trouble when you get both of us together!! I think sometimes we overwhelm Heather :) Doug is kind of like a protective older brother, especially when it comes to guys!! I always know if the guy gets Doug's approval or not :) Elizabeth is my little girl!! I love the calls I get from her just to say hello and I love how she waits outside for me to come over. If I'm ever down and need someone to make me smile, Elizabeth can ALWAYS do the trick!!! She has the cutest personality and always makes me laugh! I don't know what I'm going to do with her gone!
Andrew is only 4 months old, and hes not going to remember me after they move :( He is such a really easy going baby and I love his little giggle! I love the way he watches Elizabeth and how he smiles and laughs at everything she does. Thank you Robinsons for all that you do!! I'm going to miss you guys more than you could ever imagine!!

Another busy weekend

This past weekend was yet another really fun packed weekend. The weekend started off on Friday afternoon with a wedding that me, Kallie and Jessica went to. Our friend Rocky got married at a park in Mapleton which was really nice. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Banks! Friday night a few of us went to Fat Cats to have an Air Hockey competition. I started off playing Daniel, and Kyle and Davey played at the table next to us. I was cracking up because the Air Hockey table wasn't counting Daniel's points it was only counting mine. He really won the game, but it said I did :) After our little competition all 5 of us tried to fit into one of those small photo booths to get a picture. There is only one picture that has all 5 of us in it, but you can only see Daniels forehead and the side of Davey's face. I'm sure people were looking at us like we were dumb as we were all trying to fit in this little booth. After our little photo adventure we did a little Dance Dance Revolution. Has anyone tried to do Dance Dance on one of the fastest songs?! There was NO way. I don't even know if its possible and if it is, people have some REALLY fast moving legs! Kallie and I couldn't stop laughing trying to keep up with the game. We all shut down Fat Cats that night with all of our stupid competitions. After Fat Cats the boys went home and Kallie and I were still going strong, so we thew a little dance party :) Our neighbor from downstairs joined us and Erikka even woke up for it. We were dancing our little hearts out until almost 2 in the morning. We did have 2 guys from the ward show up and join us for the last few minutes which was pretty awesome! They then stayed until 4 am so needless to say we didn't get much sleep that night. Of course the one day I get to sleep in and want to sleep in I got a phone call at 8 am that woke me up and I wasn't able to fall back to sleep. Saturday afternoon I went to the BYU football game with my friend Jill and we had AWESOME seats thanks to my home teachers Brent and Mark. They had seats open next to them in the 9th row. They game was awesome and the company was awesome! BYU killed Wyoming 44-0. BYU is doing really well this year and the games are a lot of fun to go to! Saturday night my little sleep was catching up to me. There were 4 parties going on and I had planned on hitting at least 2 or 3 of them depending on how the night was going. After the first party, as much as I wanted to go to another one, there was NO way. I was too exhausted! Little sleep and sitting in the sun for hours at the football game was really getting to me. Erikka, Daniel and I went to pick up a small dinner and hung out for about an hour and then I was falling asleep at Daniel's house so it was time to go home and hit the sack. I think this is the only time I've really been happy about our ward changing times! We were at 11:30 until the beginning of this semester and now were at 1:30. I hate the 1:30 time, but yesterday I was really happy for it. I needed to catch up on some sleep! Good thing I did because yesterday night after ward prayer my friends Mike and Lawrence had a dessert party at their house and I was there really late. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to catch up on a little more sleep, but I doubt it will happen since I'll be with a lot of people from the ward.

Weekend Home

This weekend I was able to go home for my great grandmas funeral and loved being with all of the family. Stephen and I left on Friday morning and met my parents and Mady in Vegas because Mady qualified for a cross country meet that was on Saturday morning. It was so much fun watching her run! I haven't seen her compete since she started running so I was really excited to go and watch. She did AWESOME! She amazes me with how fast she runs!! She does 3 miles in 19 minutes. I wish my legs moved that fast! :) After Mady's meet, mom, Stephen and I all drove back to HB to meet my grandparents and Robinsons who were at the house. It was a loud house, with lots of people and lots of laughs! I love being home! Monday morning we all drove up to Paso Robles for Granny's funeral, which was that morning. The funeral was very nice and I got to see people who I haven't seen for a long time. After the funeral all of us drove back to HB and spent the night boogie boarding and playing at the beach. Man I miss the beach!! I wish the trip could have been longer, but I had to get back to work so Stephen and I left the next day. The trip back went by fast and I was happy about that because the trip down to California seemed to be the longest trip ever. I'm glad to be back, but at the same time I miss being home!

Juanita Cash

My great grandma passed away last night so I just wanted to post a few pictures of her over the past few years. She will be missed greatly, but shes with my grandpa again, so I'm very happy for her. She is probably one of the funniest people I know and always put a smile on my face. I will miss her a lot! I love you Granny!
