Mandy’s Visit

Mandy came for a visit and to celebrate with Emalee for her B-day. It’s exciting to think she can travel for free, almost, whenever she wants to or can. What a cool thing to be able to come for a fast visit like that. I’m so glad she can and so glad we got to see her. It was so fun to laugh out loud with her and to be silly. It was a good night.  Isaac was so good and slept through the whole event that I almost forgot about him. . . . . .

. . . . almost.

April 13 - Happy Feet

Have I ever told you that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE fun, cute, colorful socks?  I have to say that it's been something of a secret obsession of mine. Mandy usually has the cutest socks ever. I remember many a time when I'd look over at her sock covered feet and smile. She has great taste in fun socks. But I haven't had cute socks for a long, long time now. So, around Christmas time, I splurged and bought myself some cute socks I saw at Costco.  Then in February, I bought another pack. Ü Ü

Okay, okay, so I know, they say "things" don't really make you happy. Most of the time I realize that's true. . . the happiness you get from "things" is fleeting, but really, truly, something like these silly, cute, colorful, striped socks make me happy over and over again. They really do! Seriously, they do! All I have to do is look down at my feet and I feel a smile spread across my face. These socks bring me happiness (even if it is fleeting).

January 30 - Houston Temple

Today we went with Mandy to church.  She has 1:00pm church (just like we do).  I'm not loving that time of church so far.  But, I have to admit, it was nice to have a little extra time to sleep in and get ready while we were visiting with her and on vacation.

After church we were all starving - we put in a chicken pot pie that we got at Costco the day before and while it was cooking we ran over to the Houston Texas Temple to take the picture of the day.

It's a beautiful temple and the grounds (as always with any temple) were beautiful and immaculate.

Thanks so much Nichol's!!  We had a FABULOUS time.  It was so much fun to come for a visit.  You made it so nice, easy, relaxing and FUN!!  Hope to do lots more of these when you are in Nevada.  Love you so much :)
