Martha and I surprised them by having our mission President
 and his wife meet us for dinner! Everyone was SUR-Prised!!!

This is probably my favorite picture of all time.
You have to know our President to understand
those looks on their faces.

Sister Harbertson was a kick! Laurie (black and white stripe) got
to join us just for dinner. It was so fun to see her! The only one
missing was Liz! Boy did we miss her.

Me and Pres.

These were the cute Sister Missionaries that showed us around the
Square. It was fascinating to hear details of how much has changed
or stayed the same since we served there.

This is evidence of one of Carol's entertaining stories. No chat session
would be the same without one of her epic narratives!

This was taken on our trip up and down Main St. in Park City.
It just so happened to be the bar crawl. Lucky us---no we did
not join in the fun.

Our last meal.

Lizzie---you were supposed to be here!

Saying good-bye at the airport. Tear.

Millie showing us how we all were feeling. Tears were had by all...
even if you couldn't see them.

Saying good-bye.

This was after Carol and I hugged and then missed cheeks and kissed
on the lips, half-way...and then for some reason she felt the need
to pick me up. We laughed and laughed at that!


My year would not be the same without my girl's weekend! They know me as well as anyone (including my husband!) I'm slightly inappropriate, loud, and irreverent, but they still include me! We laugh, we cry, we eat, we laugh, we cry, we shop...repeat. Martha said it best..."if I never made another friend it would be OK just knowing I have all of you." These women mean the world to me! How lucky I am!
