I had the opportunity to go to Piedmont Park simply to linger and take pictures. Who takes the time just to be outside and stroll anymore. Anyway. Here are some of my favs. Yeah, I really like the one of me. It's cute. You guys forget that it's my blog and I can plaster it with myself if I want to. Muwahaha...
I was out of town for my good friend's birthDAY so Karla got birthWEEK. We went to dinner at my favorite BBQ place (Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell). This is (front row): Tiffany, Karla, Jeff, Irekefe, me, Spencer (back row)Randall, Joe, Jaime, Kristen, Tony, and Michelle.
Karla's birthday dance was with Joe and outside the birthday kiss was from Spencer (EASY! It was on the cheek!). Later in the week, she had her birthday cake complete with birthday candles and birthday wish. Yeah for Birthday Weeks! Joe's a really good dancer, by the way...
For Memorial Day we took an ALL-GIRL trip and stayed in a condo on the beach at Destin, Florida. I stole these pictures from my friend's blog. Somehow, I was the one without a camera this trip. Go figure. It was a good vacation. Only my legs got burned but that just gave me a chance to sit in the sand and build a castle. Also there was the world's longest marathon of Laguna on MTV. Sometimes I love it when there is nothing to do. But only sometimes...
Here's all the girls as we are at the Japanese steakhouse for Smashley's birthday. From left to right: Ashley, Laura, April, me, Andrea, Janessa, Jenean, and Sara.
I went to Utah to see Nancy get married and take some pictures. Baptisms and weddings - I cry every time... It was so Nancy, very simple without alot of fanfare yet elegant and beautiful. The happy Toronto couple and the SLC temple. I love going to the live endowments there. You can pick up on other stuff that you wouldn't have notices before. Good stuff.
While in Utah I took some vacation, rented a car and hadn't a care in the world. I spent 6 years of my life attending BYU so I know plenty of people there still. I don't have pictures of everyone/everything and didn't have nearly enought time but here's a nice, random smattering. From top left: Me and Heather Nichols at the Bees baseball game, Tim and Bethony Hall with their little boy Ethan, Anna Frost (formerly Paget) with her sister Sarah's newborn girl, Y Mount - my old stomping ground, Me and Mari Heward (fromerly Tomkinson) at the only restaurant I need to vitist when I come to Utah (Los Hermanos) cause they have my favorite taquitos - shredded beef in a flour tortilla. Yum.
I love this view of the temple from the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
And can you believe it! A sphynx with Joseph Smith's face on it in Gilgal Park. This place is definitely not run by the church although it was started by a man building sculpltures to manifest his testimony.
Mount Timpanogos. I never realize I miss the mountains until I see them again. They were the backdrop of my life for so many years. They help you keep your coordinates straight too. It was the end of May and it's still snowcapped. Ah, the beauty and majesty. Just think, the pioneers had to surmount that (among others)!
Okay so it wasn't really a party per se but in true Snicker's commercial fashion I did pull over to "celebrate" and take a picture. I've never had a car roll over 100,000 miles.
Daniel, Jacob and Emma. I've known these kids since before Daniel was born (He's 4 and a half now!). It's so much easier to babysit kids when you already know their intricacies. This day they all had ball games at the park. One day I'll take my own kids to the park and fraternize with the other parents...
Natalie Douglas and Jesse Kipper got got married May 6, 2006. She was my roommate for nearly 3 years. We've been through alot together: hers and mine. Now it's time to live by myself for awhile...
Let me introduce you to my surrogate grandmother. She actually works for one of the clients we travel for. She's the Director of Security. I think it's awesome that granny packs heat on a regular basis. He he.
