Monkey Face

We hiked Monkey Face for mutual tonight. I wasn't so keen on it at first, but I'm so glad that I went. We went up the hard way, and for a little bit, I wasn't sure that I was going to make it, but I did, and I was so proud of myself! I had so much fun, and love to hang out with these amazing girls! I am also so grateful for the women that I serve with in this presidency. We each have our individual strengths that when put together are super affective! I love these women, and am grateful for the examples that they set, and for their friendships! They are amazing!

I want to be the Krazy Coupon Lady!!!!

OK, so I've decided that when I grow up, I want to be the Krazy Coupon Lady! I'm so excited about the deal that I just got at Target! I went to a coupon clipping service, and ordered 10 coupons valued at $5 each for a little under $5, and got 10 coupons from target.com valued at $5 each. I could use 2 on each hair color, and when you buy 2, you get a $5 Target gift card!!!!! How awesome is that???!!! So, let's recap! 10 boxes of hair color at $11.98 each, with $10 off of each one plus 5 $5 gift cards! I'm up $5 bucks! I'm hot on your heels Krazy Coupon Lady!!!

"Ana Jones"

My nephew Travis stayed overnight at my house on April 20th. It was so much fun! He wrote me a letter, and it was so sweet. I need to take a picture of it and post it, because it is something that I want to keep forever! Apparently he is a little obsessed with Indiana Jones. I wish that I had gotten a picture of him with his hat on. It was too cute! He talked about the movies all night long, and he calls it Ana Jones. He is also an amazing artist. He is 8 years old, and he told me that he drew this picture from his memory. I love this kid. He is so funny, and has such a kind heart. I am grateful for him.

Happy 13th Birthday Haley!!!!!!

So, I had this great idea. My niece Haley turned 13 on April 21st, and I wanted to do something special for her. I talked to her mom, and asked her if I could throw Haley a little surprise slumber party. I invited Val's girls, and it was on. The girls hid in my room, and when Haley got there, I asked her to go into my bedroom and get something for me. The girls jumped out, and scared the heck out of her. She was so surprised, and I was so happy that I could do something fun for my wonderful niece. I am grateful for her and for all of the joy that she has brought into my life. She is beautiful, funny, sweet, and a little crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Love you Haley!

A Day In Monterey!

This took forever to upload, but I am so excited that I finally have it done! Val and I went to Monterey, and had the most amazing time. I always have so much fun with her. I am so grateful for our friendship, and for the fact that I can talk to her about anything! We laughed so much! Unfortunately I couldn't post some of the pictures, but I'm saving them as blackmail...

This was the view we had as we drove into Monterey Sunday night. Absolutely gorgeous!




We saw lilies everywhere we went!
