Trip to the great SEATTLE!!!

i went to seattle to visit my sister and her family for a week over Christmas break. it was so much fun. i wish i could have stayed longer. here a few pics from the trip. check out britnis blog to see more and info on all that occurred. i do have to state one thing about my trip... it snowed in seattle, can you believe that? craziness!

what a sweet scary bathroom in the middle of the field

i really am the best aunt. i got tesila to sleep while it was frezzing outside.

-precious-

thanks for letting me stay. i sure do love you all

2 great boys!!!!

two of my friends passed away in an avalanche up in the logan area on christmas eve morning. it still doesnt seem real. shocking. when things like this happen it really makes you think. i knew both boys but was closer to one of them then the other. (im not at my computer, so i had to use pictures that were online)

Jesse Ryan Johnson (23) and Erik Randall Jorgensen (22)- or as i would call him Erik "Rambo"

-these boys loved everything outdoors.

You both were greatly loved and will be missed by all

i consider erik my best guy friend. i just visited him 2 weeks ago. i took him and his wife christmas goodies. i was so happy to see him. he gives the best hugs.

Erik and his gorgeous wife Casey. i remember erik first telling me that he was in love with casey. and about how he was nervous to ask her dad for permission to marry her.

erik and i at his wedding reception

- erik was studying to be a pharmacist and he was extremely studious. i would always run into him at the library and we would chat. i loved it.

erik and casey got married in august in the logan temple.

- my heart is very heavy at this time for casey. i cant even begin to imagine what she is going through. this is a loss for all but nothing compared to the loss of her one and only.

jesse, jason, and erik on halloween a few years back

- these boys were such fun loving individuals. ive known erik since freshmen year of college and met jesse the following year. so goofy. and full of energy

a group of us after an aggie basketball game

- jami and i would hang out at eriks apartment, which jesse was usually there, pretty much everyday sophmore year.

having fun

- i ran into erik and his wife the first week of school at movie on the quad, i was having a hard time with some things. and i just cried in his arms. he was always there when you needed him.

jami, erik, and i

erik, i love you! i thank you for your friendship.

- these times are hard but we know that these boys would not want us to be so negative and sad. they would want us to be positive, happy, and talk about our memoirs with one another.

-my prayers are with the families at this tragic time.

just remember to be greatful for everything- don't take anything for granted.

USU vs BYU @ Energy Solutions

byu refuses to play in logan because our fans are so mean. so they decided they would play at energy solutions instead. sarah and i headed down early. so for a few hours i got to play with jerry, erin, and ava. we then met up at the game along with jami and others from our apartment building.

here we are with coon who now goes to BYU. he is such a stud and we just love him.
USU lost... we played so dumb. my throat was soar from yelling. i was so mad at them. oh well, we had fun though.

Matts Head...

friday evening we got together, made dinner, and had a haircutting party
