Class Reunion

I feel like the most blessed girl ever. My sweet husband encouraged me to go to my 10-year reunion and offered to stay home with the kids and manage the construction projects. I felt really guilty going, but I am so glad I did! I had such a blast!


Met up with my BBF (best babe forever ;) at the Phoenix airport. So good to see Kami! It was like we'd never been apart--except all the cool things she's accomplished over the years. Anyway, we got to ride up to Snowflake together and her sweet family let me stay with them.

Me and Kami in front of the Snowflake Temple.
So sad the temple was closed (due to the 24th celebrations). Guess it's a good excuse to go back sometime.
Looking at Rena's high school scrapbook at her and Mike's house. LaRen is absolutely gorgeous! She is expecting in about 5 weeks; she looked like this little thing with a fake tummy stuck on her.
Me and Kams at the good ol' Snowflake city ballpark--the place to be on summer nights. Well, that and Ed's IGA. Good times...good times...
LOL! Kami and I ended up being in the Pioneer Days parade. Her brother-in-law needed us to fill in on his float. This is Kami with her cute niece, Emma (she reminds me of Gracie). I missed my kids--even teared up a few times--but it was nice to be able to run around like a teenager again.
Helping Kams get ready after the parade (just like in high school). We went to a reunion picnic and then to see "Joseph and the Amazing Techni-Color Dream Coat".


Me and Vanessa Webb (Rubalcava) and Heather Reidhead (Bryant) at the reunion dinner. So fun to laugh with them! I didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to, but it was a lot of fun catching up with people. Wish I got more pictures.


Me, Kams & Nessa getting "wild" after the reunion dinner. We almost went over to the Stake Dance next door--but then we thought the better of it and just took Nessa home. I miss going to dances with Vanessa; she rocks!

Me and Kams after church on Sunday. The time went so fast. Didn't get to go see everyone I wanted to, but it was still so fun. Time to go home.
Me at the Show Low airport--it was hilarious. This is the smallest airport I have ever been to. I got "randomly" selected for additional security screening. I said, "I guess it's easier to get randomly selected when there are only three passengers in the airport." I must say, they were very THOROUGH with their screening. :) Then it was time to walk out to the plane.





This is the smallest plane I've been on. There is no door on the cockpit so you can watch the pilots fly the plane. You know it's a bumpy ride when the pilots are holding on to the "oh crap!" handle on the ceiling while their flying the plane! (It really wasn't that bad).

I picked a flight with a lay-over in Denver, so I got to meet up with my sister and her kids for dinner. It was a short visit but SO good to see them any chance I get. Look how cute these kids are.

I drove from the airport in Salt Lake City and got home around 2 a.m. Monday morning. This is what I came home to. My sweet girls made me presents and picked me flowers. Like I said--the most blessed girl ever.

Gets even better. This is a beautiful thing to come home to--empty laundry baskets. I found a note in my bathroom from Eldon. He said he knew it was going to be a rough week (we had a lot to get done before leaving for Colorado). So, he washed all the laundry and cooked eggplant parmesan, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken noodle soup for meals this week! I didn't have to cook all week! Now tell me I'm not the most blessed girl ever :) j/k

Oh my gosh...your husband is so good to you! That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard of. There is nothing like a man that cooks and does laundry. I have a blast with you...I just wish we would have danced!

I glad that you had such a great trip. All you guys look great. You are a traveling girl. That is so great to go back home and even better come back to a clean house and no laudry!

Glad you got to go! I was trying to figure out how to get there, but the best way would have been me driving down with the kids and then Josh flying down the next week. I get tired just driving around town at this phase of my pregnancy, so that didn't sound very appealing. Ah well, glad you got some pictures. You all look amazing!
