Birthday Celebrations

Bountiful

Sam and Jamie looked wonderful and full of smiles!

Sam and Jamie got married the day after their reception and afterward we headed to the luncheon for yummy food.

good company

Britni and Brian flew in for about 30 hours to attend Sam and Jamie's Wedding. i met up with them, the Gerber's, my dad, Ava, Erin, and Brennan at Cafe Rio. the Hansen's can't come to town without going since Seattle doesn't have one.

that evening we had Sam and Jamie's Reception

i planned a small surprise baby shower for Britni. we headed up to the grooms room for a quick 15 minutes for Britni to open presents. i got her a "it's a boy" balloon along with blue candy which i attached "it's a boy" rattles to. and if you can't tell the Hansen's are excited for a baby boy- just look at each of them enjoying Brennan.

Sleepover with the A

one day i will get my trip all blogged (its a slow process) but for now here is how i spent my last 24 hours

Ava and i had a ton of fun! and i guess i kind of spoiled her but hey I'm her aunt- i can do that every once in a while. Ava really enjoyed getting to wear glasses for the movie and was excited to take them home to show her mom and dad. she wanted to sleep in her sleeping bag which i thought was silly. however, i got her all snuggled in there but then she couldn't sleep so in the end she slept in the big bed. we even had donuts and hot chocolate for breakfast. before we headed to her house we drove up the street to the temple. while we drove in the car she was telling me jokes. Ava sure is a cutie!!!

-thanks for coming to play with me-

we had fun bowling tonight- we played 3 games. i did fabulously the first game and got over 100 points! Jami decided to stap poor Mikes heart and BrieAnn and i had the same pants and we both gott the best bowling shoes. we played spades and ate at IHOP as well.

also, the other night the girls decided to paint their nails at the restaurant.

not again

last day of work

it was a GREAT last day which made it harder to leave. the boys didn't have school today so we were all able to chill and chat. my boss bought us pizza from Pizza Hut and the staff wrote me a nice card. and i finally announced to the boys i was leaving. my boss had all the boys say something they liked about me or something they will remember- it was super sweet. then when it was time to head out the door some boys were trying to get hugs so i ended up giving some side hugs. it was another bitter sweet departure. i will miss these guys.

C & J

my good friend, Coon (Michael), who i met my freshmen year of college got married in the San Diego temple a couple weeks ago and tonight they had their reception in Utah.

Coon and Jocelyn are super cute!

i was able to meet up with 2 of my freshmen roomies there. Leoh and her husband, Conrad, came down from Idaho and Jess came from Logan. i love that it felt so natural with these ladies- i see and talk to Jess but Leoh- I hadn't seen for almost 2 years. it felt like nothing had changed and we were 18 again.
i sure love these people!
