Highlights of the past months

Me & Craig have had a lot more time on our hands lately. Actually, we probably don't have that much more time on our hands but in reality, I am probably just less busy than last semester. Craig has been busy busy though working on secondary applications for med school! Exciting I know! Although all the schools do is ask for more money that we don't have. He did get an interview for U of A though! I will keep you updated on that-

Anyways, I just wanted to blog about the highlights of the past couple months.



We celebrated my Nana's birthday by going out to eat as just all of us girls! It was a lot of fun since Emily was still around. Oh! And for the fact that we ate at Crackers & Co. - My ultimate fav!

I was also so lucky to go do a Temple session with one of my best friends, Ashley Stoker. She is always in and out of town but it was so nice to go spend time with her at there. She is more like a sister to me really.

We celebrated my Mom's Birthday! She is the most amazing person to me, it is so fun to celebrate her! She really never spends a second thinking about herself and is constantly out with the sister missionaries in her ward, making people meals and serving her children.


I had the "honor" of making her her favorite Strawberry cake! It looked a sad but it tasted delish!


The Champion! Craig one first place at our ward's pine wood derby! I'm so proud...
His car literally looked like a hollow log or piece of poo. But I guess it's not what's on the outside that counts! ha

It was so fun, we went with Laura & Jonny to his cabin for a weekend. We went to this Mexican restaurant that people have raved about. Mexican is usually ALWAYS good. WRONGO- it was so nasty. It tasted like cafeteria food AND it took them like an hour to serve us. We are so tactful in this picture.

A beautiful field by Jonny's cabin on a beautiful sabbath day!

That night we went home to have a celebration dinner for Ashley's baby boy! Mom Udall thinks of the cutest things. They all had to wear these during dinner.

My talented bro-in-law, Eric, had his last band show before his mission! He is so good on the bass guitar - and don't worry that he can also play the drums and lead guitar. It was so fun to support him and go back in time to high school days.


Lastly, we celebrated baby sister Jen's birthday! I still can't believe she is 19 years old. Don't worry that I thought she was turning 18 this year. She was a little disappointed in me. She is so cute and the smartest one in our family. She got a full ride to ASU & is studying Biological Engineering! Wow. And she loves it.

Wow, i feel like my life is so uneventful compared to how many fun things you guys do! Thats so awesome to be able to spend so much time with family. Too bad about the mexican restaurant, usually you can never go wrong in that department from my experience. Best of luck with the med school apps! You and Craig seem like the cutest, most fun couple, i wish i was closer so i could meet him and see you! Take care. Sorry about this novel of a comment!

Fun to check in with you two. It's been while because your hair is looking so long. And as far as dining in Payson, we ALWAYS go to Chili's. You just can't risk the "El Rancho" or the "Great China Buffet" as exciting as they look.
