DEFINITION OF 'AU REVOIR' {Goodbye until we meet again}

Last week was a bitter/sweat week for me. I NEVER thought these words would EVER come out of my mouth, but I was actually really sad to leave Provo :(

My work was SO sweet to me and made me a yummy 3 layer german chocolate cake {Diet broke} they then treated me to a fun night of bowling and dinner @ my fav, Paradise Bakery-

We then went to Brick Oven for a "farewell dinner" It was so great to see everyone!Off to Drew's reception {catch the sunset in the back, isn't AWESOME?}We then headed out to try a new crepe restaurant on State, you should go try it out- Berry Crepe=Delicious!

Called to Serve

WASHINGTON TACOMA MISSION

LEAVE JULY 13TH

FAREWELL JULY 10TH

SURPRISE! I'm going on a mission :D

Kinda crazy ey?! Trust me I didn't think I would ever go either, lol! But when It came down to it I knew without a shadow of doubt that the Lord wanted me to serve. What greater call could you have in life than to go spread the gospel to those who are searching for the truth and to be a representative of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so humbled and blessed to be able to go serve in the beautiful state of Washington. Did I think I would go there....NO WAY! It wasn't even a thought in my mind. Am I EXCITED? YOU KNOW IT!!! I went into this telling myself I will go wherever the Lord sends me, NO, if's, but's or why's. To me the most amazing thing is how comforting it has been to know the thought and the guidance of the spirit that has went into the decision of where I was needed the most. If that's no the coolest thing, I don't know what is! :DWashington here I come!

Oh get this....

While I was in Pittsburgh my call came...what? I know!

I had to wait 5 LONG days to open my call.

We had such a good time in Pittsburgh though. It's a little different

from any other city Iv'e been to, but it lead up to some great adventures.

Later post to come...

Okay what friend would I be if I didn't say THANKS....

Miss Kaylen Walton as you see, is always there for me. Yup...ALWAYS! Even when I am my cRaZy, impatient, high maintenance self she just still loves me. Why? I dunno no!

She is an angel in my life and I wouldn't be who I am today without her. I am SO very lucky to have such an AMAZING friend as her. She is rock and light in my life and love her SOSOSOSO much! Love you Klin

Love me-

Finally, a vacation!

I'm leavin' on a jet plane don't know when I'll be back again...

Okay I do, Ill be back Sunday!

I'm off to Pittsburgh for a lil vaca w/ my mom and brother :)

This week will be filled with HOCKEY, HOCKEY, OH AND HOCKEY...

The Motab+ George Strait

CONFERENCE, THE PROPHET, GEORGE,& REBA...WHAT?!

ONE WORD....AMAZING

Let's just say, all of the driving and loss of sleep

this weekend was all worth it!

This is Kaylen with our Conference sign. Note- the Spanish on the bottom haha! We thought we were pretty dang funny ;)

******

Conference was amazing as ALWAYS.

A few "LAKYN MOMENTS" I LOVED-

1.PREACH THE GOSPEL @ ALL TIMES AND IF NECESSARY USE WORDS.

2. OUR FAITH NOW BECOMES OUR FAITH IN OUR POSTERITY LATER.

3. WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHRUCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS

4. DESIRES DICTATE OUR PRIORITIES

PRIORITIES DETERMINE OUR CHOICES

CHOICES DETERMINE OUR ACTIONS

5. ALL OF US CAN REACH OUR EXPECTATIONS!

GEORGE & REBA

Remember this post, well the day came and they both ROCKED it.

Reba surprised us w/ the appearance of all to funny BARBRA JEAN off of her TV show REBA.

Kaylen absolutely loves her, so she was ecstatic!!!

Let's not forget my HIGHLIGHT of the night.George sang one of my FAVORITE songs (I cross my HEART)that he usually doesn't sing and of course I fell in love with him all over again :D

******

I had some spiritual uplifting, then ended the night right by some good ol' fashion country music :D I say, that's a good day!

Just a LITTLE update...

UDA (dental) Conference 2011...

Dr. Thompson took us to eat the night before at Benihana :) in SLC. I was fortunate enough to get braces the day before (debatable), so I was able to actually enjoy my food there for once instead of scarfing it down. They have served there purpose!! Thanks Dr.

Last weekend was Athena and Kyle's wedding.

She was such a Georgous Bride, I am so happy for them both! I can't even describe what an amazing women and example Athena is. I was so happy for her, I wish them both the best of luck in the big state of TEXAS!

I also got to see all of these beautiful girls :)

My Hallie bug came down to Provo, so we went to Macy's to get an oh so good chocolate dipped ice cream cone and the best part it they are only .69 cents, hola!

Love me-

Happy Day!

This day marks the BIG 27th Year Anniversary of my wonderful parents.

I can't even describe how much I love them and how thankful I am for them for always striving to have a great marriage and to be an example to their children~Love you guys!

(This was my dads 50th b-day, hence the 50's attire! Ha)

Love me-

Buick vs. Highlander

Remember when you were in those "teen" years and your mom or whoever was picking you up from school didn't drive such a "cool" car? You asked them to park across the street or come just a little later so he/she would miss the rush of everyone seeing you :/ I do and this commercial brought the memories flooding BACK!

My mom even drove a Buick hehe!

Remember Kaylen's post? Yep, SAME thing happened to her!

Check it out...

I wonder what my kids are going to think of Mazzie (my 06' car) in 10 or so years when I drop them off at school? Well I guess they will have to live through it because I am not getting rid of her :D
