SLC


Thanksgiving Day

This piano player was so nice and let Avery up to play.
Zach man was in heaven eating any and all he wanted. :)
I think this is so funny.  Whenever Eric and I look halfway decent in a picture, the kids don't.  Funny faces.

My trip to SLC for a girls weekend!
My sis-in-law Emmalee, brother Gary and baby Jade.  Jade is a cutie and so happy!  She smiles with her mouth wide open. :)  It was so nice to see them and meet Jade!
I met up with my friends later for dinner at the Garden and then...
Lights on Temple Square.  It's so beautiful.  Memories, light the corners of my mind...

So I had the best weekend away.  Great friends, great times, great ladies.  I haven't laughed so hard like that in awhile. It is always neat to see how everyone has changed in some ways and not in others, and both in a good way.  :)
The gals from high school: (l to r) Becky, Krista, Renae, Keri, Aryn, Gretchen, Sarah and Annette.  We missed Linda, who was sick and snowed in the mountains.
I put this picture in of the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU's Museum of Art, because a) it was fantastic and the originals are 100x better than prints in a magazine, and b) it's not a great picture because I wasn't supposed to be taking pictures.  I got 2 pics in before security came and sternly told us there were no photographs, of any kind.
Here is lovely Sarah Forbush.  She lived 2 doors up from me growing up.
This is Gretchen and the Salt Lake temple.  Gretchen has written a children's book and soon to be a mother of 6!

This is me and my good friend, Teresa.  We were roommates at BYU back in the day.  Even though we both have kids and other grown-up responsibilities, when you get together you can be as goofy as you were then.

isn't that what a friend is?  Someone you can be yourself with, even if it's a little goofy.
Thanks, ladies.  Til next time.
