Welcome in the Sunshine!!

So first off down with daylight savings! Actually I'm excited to get back to having more daylight! I have missed it and it's about time it comes back. Yay for SUNSHINE! But I still think it's a lame concept. But now on to more important ramblings.

I love lil mini road trips. They are always so full of random mishaps and fun surprises. This one was just a short day trip and we stayed overnight. Everything about it was wonderful and Rachel and I even stayed out of trouble! We rock :) We made an appearance at the dance and saw loads of peeps from our ward. Way to represent Crowfeet! Woot woot!

But here's to sleepovers that end up being better than expected and to great friends that are always willing to welcome us into their homes. (esp when I was just there earlier in the week) But we attended some wonderful meetings on Sunday and heard great speakers and beautiful musical numbers; they even threw us one at the fireside that evening! All in all a great end to a fun weekend.

Quilting Pancakes

Okay so not like I actually quilted pancakes but I did enjoy both interests today. I was excited when I awoke because it was all you can eat dollar pancakes at McDonalds; which I helped with so I was excited to go. Hannah, Jacob and I were so excited! Can I tell you I have never enJoyed pancakes unless it involves chocolate syrup and chocolate chips...every six weeks when feeding the sisters. So being the hater I am I didn't think I'd like them-but I loved them! Way delicious!

Afterwards I dropped the kids off and headed home to tell my mum I took on the bishops quilt for his farewell party. Which meant ALL of it. LOL So I did what any daughter would do and recruited; mother and the sister missionaries. So we headed to the quilt store to get fabric and let me tell you those quilt ladies at the store couldn't get rid of us fast enough...it's as if we were ruining their lives by shopping there. I'm not bitter. So the sisters met up at my house and we went to work. We made a good dent within a couple hours so upon semi completion we decided to go out tracting; the weather was great and the company couldn't have been better! I love sister Kimball and Menke!

Anyways by six that night I was home all by myself doing absolutley nothing but piddling around accomplishing nothing. ha ha so let's waste time; which fyi I love to do-watching Gilmore Girls! So that's my Saturday night; hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Alamosa or bust!

So this weekend I was livin' it up in Alamosa! Holy cheese on rice; it was INCREDIBLE!!! I loved it! And although it was stinkin' cold that didn't stop us from having fun! With all the traveling I've been doing this last month and then some I am grateful for all that I have learned! Because I truly have learned so much and also made some great new friends...so back to Alamosa. Rach, B and I stayed with Bekah in the dorms and it was great to just have time together. Going to the sand dunes was just breathtaking and B gave a great analogy of if the valley was a bedroom the dunes would be that corner where it's always dirty ha ha okay I'm thinking it was funnier when He said it. So anyways I'm thinkin God is pretty cool with all the beauty He surrounds us with. Man it was just so gerorgeous; with the fall colors and all the architecture and just all of it. There is so much history in that small city. Anyways I think I go a lil' overboard sometimes with the picture taking but I'll get some up shortly. Oh and yay for roadtrips where you get to jam to music that you normally wouldn't :)

Ashley's Birthday

So Ashley had a birthday and I can't for the life of me really remember the last time I celebrated with her. Dad took us out for some BBQ and it was delicious. Afterwards Ash and I went and got tye dye stuff to do shirts. The next day the sisters came over and helped us make some way cool shirts. It was a fun day ha ha ha

Turkey Week!!

What I love most about Thanksgiving is looking at the year and seeing all that I've been blessed with. Well this year I chose to be thankful for the missionary opportunities that take place in my daily life. I made some great life long friends this year and one of them wasn't with us to throw down some turkey and the fixin's. :( That's right; Elder Ryan got transferred. So I can't not put a picture up of the two that have done so much for me! Elder Porter and Elder Ryan and me...sportin our grillz! HALLA!
