Nashville

So, way back in the beginning of October, I went to Nashville/Smyrna to visit Joanna & the boys and I'm just NOW getting to posting about it (hey, better late than never, right?!?)

I had so so so so so much fun, I didn't want to leave! I miss hanging out and laughing with Jo, we have the most fun together! We got to go to Luke's school and watch him get awards, he's such a sweetie and very smart :) I played Lego's with Nate (I was told I'd be his best friend if I did that) - he has soooo many Lego's and he knows everything about every one of them! He's a bright little boy :) We also went shopping (Joanna isn't lying when she says her boys want EVERYTHING! haha), went to dinner with Jason, went to the boys' soccer games (which Jason & Joanna coach!), watched Baby Mama (*whoot whoot*), and Joanna & I went to the Hanson concert!!! So, of course I had a blast, so many of my favorite things all in one weekend! (Joanna, boys, Hanson, shopping, laughing).

General RS Meeting Choir

I was given the opportunity to be in the choir that sang at the General Relief Society Meeting yesterday. It was such a life-changing experience! Definitely one of the neatest things I've done thus far in my life. When we started our practices nearly 2 months ago, we were told it would be one of the coolest experiences that would change us forever. I had no idea how true that was until I watched the First Presidency walk in and take their seats. Tears started flowing down my face and I wondered how I'd compose myself enough to sing in just a few minutes! It was an amazing event and one that I will never forget!!

These are the girls from my ward (the only singles ward invited to be in the choir!)

The choir from my point of view

This is the view I had of the conference center from where I was sitting (well, some of it at least!)

Spark Boondoggle - Provo Canyon

Alright, I've been inspired to finally do something with this blog! I just don't know where to even start!! Kiley said to just start with the latest thing and then add from there. SO, here we go...

Spark Boondoggle! My company does these fun afternoon outings every few months and this last one was up Provo Canyon. We had a barbecue, played games, had a relay race, and built water balloon catapults. It was SO MUCH fun!! Here are a few pix:

Me eating marshmallows - our team had to eat a whole bag before moving onto the next round, eww!

Our water balloon launcher - if there was an award for ugliest, we would have won. I just let the programmers take over on the design and building of it, oops!

LOVE this pic!

Ki & Me - We are so lucky to get to work together! I love it!!

Natalie, Heather, Ki & I - just some of the office babes!

My buddy Jason & I - this is our "4 real" sign - we throw it all the time ;)
