Roommate Pics

Thursday we went to the garden's here on campus and did some service for the school. We helped to plant herbs and flowers throughout the gardens. Which lead us to the thought of, roommate picture with all of our hard work. So Friday night came and we headed over and had some fun. Here's just some of what we took! Enjoy!

Start of an AMAZING trip- Wednesday

Alright so I decided to break my vacation down into days so it wasn't one big massive post. So here's the start of my trip.

I headed down to Provo on Tuesday afternoon and stayed the night with Nick and Amy (thanks!) This way I could leave my car with them and not have to pay for airport parking. Wednesday Amy took me up to the airport so I could catch my flight to Oakland, CA! When I got there I arrived a little early so I had to wait a couple of min before Frankie and Ashley showed up. Their Grandma Sue came and picked us up and we were on our way to Turlock, CA for the week. Once we got there I meet their Dad, Michelle, and her son Austin, then later on Grandpa Joe and others. We just relaxed around the house that night and of course watched American Idol. What a way to start of vacation.

Hope you all enjoy the days to come...

Thursday- Fishing

Thrusday Ashley, Frankie, their dad, and I went fishing at a BEAUTIFUL place! I hadn't been fishing since I was about 8 or so when Jenkin had taken us, so this was an experience for me. However, I caught the biggest fish of the day :D alright maybe we only caught 2 fish we weren't there that long, but still I was proud of myself! Here's some amazing pics of the place.

Friday & Saturday- Graduation

Kevin (Ashley and Frankie's brother)  graduated high school Friday night! So we all went to support him. It was completely different from what we are used to, but it was still nice. It was out on the football field and so casual. Ashley and I felt over dressed in our causal dresses, but we just laughed.

Sunday- Lake!

Sunday we got up bright and early and headed off to the lake to relax. It was fun just hanging out getting to know everyone just a little better :D

Grilling out yummy food!

After such a long day we were all so worn out and in pain we fell asleep pretty fast.

Monday- Vaca

So we all know Monday was Memorial Day.  Their dad's, father was killed Oct 2 1968, so we went to find his flag and visit his grave.

Then Tuesday we just got ready for the day and headed back to Oakland so I could fly back to SLC. I had such a fun trip I didn't want to leave! Hope you've enjoyed a little tastes of my week.

Repairs

So my bike has been acting up a lot lately and I needed to get it fixed. I was wondering who I knew that could do so when my home teacher called me up and asked if he could come do it all for me! HOW AMAZING! So here's Johnathan working on my bike. I was grateful that he was able to do so. He picked it up as a hobby on his mission and started to collect tools then so he had a big tool box and all.
Also the oil in my car needs changed. Me trying not to spend too much money was once again thinking, who can do it for me? JOSH! So I called up good ole Josh McKinney and he agreed to come change it for me next week!
I am so blessed to have people in my life that are so handy! Thanks to both guys! I owe you! :D

*Happy Mother's Day*

I just wanted to give a shout out to my Mom on this fine Mother's Day!
I miss and love her tons and I am very grateful for all she does for our family.

Derby

As everyone knows the first Saturday in May is the Kentucky Derby! :D
So of course I just HAD to make Derby Pie. I also had a little BBQ while it was still nice outside. Then afterward my roommates and I just goofed off and took a couple of pictures for fun. Enjoy!
