the GRANDS

going on 58 years!!! mmm, baby. aren't they just...huggable? i absolutely adored staying with them for a week. fun stories are coming! now you know where i get my wonderful eyesight from:)sorry about the glare from their glasses. i learned so much from my grandparents who i don't get to see very often. i grew from their love. and unfortunately got sick while visiting them:(. but i did accomplish a lot! they love each other dearly. this is at the sacremento temple where they worked as temple workers. their example has made me now desire to be a temple worker one day with my old wrinkly husband:)

North Edwards

After my freshman year at BYU i drove with my friend Baylee (i call her Bales) to her home in California. After a wonderful weekend with her family i took Amtrak to Sacramento where I visited my grandparents before i flew home to Georgia. Here are a few photos of our drive to North Edwards:).









I had a fabulous trip home with my Bales. Her family is out of this world amazing:)

pretty flowerDECEPTIONsmelliest tree ever

I only survived the beginnings of Spring in Provo. The sun finally decided to start doing its job correctly and warmed everyone up for a few wonderful days. It was amazing-all of BYU suddenly just APPEARED outside with blankets, Frisbee's, and BBQs. And yet....after a beautiful 4 days of sun....i would wake up, lean over, see the window, and tell Katers that it snowed!! Then the cycle once again start over. Needless to say, spring finally arrived and i was glad to leave Provo! These trees began to flower, they may be pretty but don't be fooled. THEY SMELL HORRIBLE, NASTY, AND GROSS!!! (the best description i could come up with was fish mixed with dead skin). So as Bales and I drove away from Provo, I took a picture of the-smelliest-tree-ever!
