Food Storage...I am Doing It! :)

I have been putting this off long enough...I have always told myself that when I got married it would be a perfect time to start my food storage. I changed my mind. I have recently moved into a family ward, which I love, and one day decided to go to the Bishops Storehouse with some of my friends in the ward. This is what I came away with...not to mention the great feeling I got when I thought that I was tangibly following the counsel of the prophet! :)

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!!!

I organized a group of my friends together and got tickets for all of us to go see the Mariners play ball. Every summer, they set aside a couple of group nights for the LDS fans. I went last year with mom and so it was fun to do it this year again with some of my fun friends!

GO MARINERS!!!

Catching Up!

Since the last post that I did was about the 4th of July, I wanted to assure you all that I am totally aware of the fact that it is now OCTOBER!!! Please BE PATIENT as this site is undergoing changes...and trying to catch up with the rest of us! :) I promise...the wait will be worth it!

Happy Independence Day!!!

This year, I celebrated the 4th of July TWO times. Once in Eatonville, a small little town at the foot of Mt. Rainier, and the other time at Sara Diem's, my friend who lives on the banks of the Puget Sound. It was a great time filled with food, friends and fun! Who could ask for anything more? Oh...and just in case you were curious, the Puget Sound firesides were much better...we were able to see about twenty shows at the same time! Plus, it was over the water! Mt Rainier, on the other hand, is spectacular and I LOVE it!!! Overall, it was a great weekend!!!

Dave and Tara's Wedding Day

June 11, 2009

On June 11, 2009, my best friend, Tara Johnson, married David Nielsen in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This was a day that we had waited for for a really long time. Dave and Tara had been friends for seven years before they finally tied the knot. This day was so special and I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of all of it! The ceremony, the luncheon, the dinner and everything in between...including the rainstorm (which I have been told brings lots of luck on your wedding day). I am so happy for you, Tara! I love you guys!!!

A Summer Surprise: A Visit from the Hughes Family

I was pleasantly surprised one June day when I received a message from my dear friend, Katie Wilson Hughes, informing me that she and her family were in town for the week. Her husband, Bill, had come up for some business and Katie and their kids were able to join him on his adventure. I joined them one day and we went to the Ballard Locks in Seattle and out to lunch. It was so much fun and I honestly think that Katie has some of the coolest kids around! Needless to say, it was also a great blessing to be able to reconnect with Katie. Katie and I go way back to the days when we were participants at Academy For Girls...probably when we were about 12 years old. We also had the incredible blessing of serving as counselors at Academy For Girls together. I love Katie and cherish the friendship we share. Thanks for the visit!!!
