Home Sweet Home

I was able to come home for Memorial Day weekend. It was so nice to spend time with family and friends and to be surrounded by familiar faces. I love seeing those people who have influenced my life in so many positive ways and who have helped me become the young woman I am today. There are so many.
Home hasn't changed much other than the fact that two more people have moved out. Just the young half live at home now, but the older siblings were never home when I visit anyway. I'm glad that when I come home things aren't too different. So many things have been changing in my life lately that it's nice to come home and have things feel familiar. I don't think it will be like that much longer.
I did a lot of fun things with my family, I hung out with Anne, hiked the Y with some of the Mcintyres and my younger brother, had a family BBQ, and helped the grandparents move out of the house into their condo.



The most adorable kids EVER!

Jared doesn't like his picture taken.



While I was helping Grandma and Grandpa move I found this beautiful flower bush and just had to pick one. . . don't tell the neighbors.

On my walk with Sara. Look at those mountains in the background! I miss seeing mountains while I'm at school. Mountains always make me feel at home.


While Anne was trying on dresses for graduation I found this yellow dress and just had to try it on. I don't know if yellow's my color, but I like the dress.



THE Y HIKE!

Look at our beautiful valley!

you hiked it without me. I'm hurt. I'm bleeding. Ow. Okay, not really. But I DO have a blister on my foot that's not feeling so great. okay, maybe it's a good thing I didn't hike with you.

Looks like a fun weekend! I want to hike the Y a couple times this summer, but I've got to get my butt in shape first...which could take a while. :)
