The Month of May

I know I have been MIA again! But sometimes you are just going along in life and the blog just isn't one of those priorities that you get to. I would think about it but then I would just think about all the time it would take to load lots of pictures to explain what I was doing and I just gave up. But now that I am done with my internship and have more time on my hands, I decided it was time I just did it.

So here is most of the month of May! It was such a hectic time between graduating for Craig, end of the year gatherings, birthdays and finishing up things.

Birthday Fun
I turned 24 this year and I have been dreading it for so long now. I don't know why & no offense to anyone else who is 24 or older but to me it is like a breaking point into true adulthood and I don't like it. I can't complain tho, it was a nice bday & Craig treated me to good food and a shopping date. He let me go wherever I wanted & let me buy whatever! (within a reasonable limit...) But it was just the perfect present for me.


Emily & Jen surprised me with Taylor Swift tickets!!


Taylor Swift Concert - it was a lot of fun! And despite the rumors I heard, she as great live singing voice and she put on a really fun show too! At times she catered a little much to 16 year olds and had a lot of rage against boys but overall, it was good. It is so fun playing with my sisters.



Elders Quorum Camp out
Craig was in charge of helping to put together a campout as part of the EQ presidency and it turned out great!! There was a great turn out and we had a lot of fun! It was super cold too, it got about 50 degrees at night and we couldn't have a fire, I was kinda bummed but it turned out great still.

We played Heads up 7-up, you know, the game you played in 6th grade when it was raining outside? It was actually really fun to play!

They made the most AMAZING egg burros, yum...

A bunch of the primary kids & me after we visited the creek -a bunch of cuties.

The Graduate

I am so proud of this guy! He worked so hard at ASU and I am so excited to see all he will accomplish in Podiatry.

We found out that he got into 3 different Podiatry schools and he graduated so I had a little celebration for him.

A new gourmet pizza recipe without red sauce I tried out, it actually turned out great! I was a little hesitant by the no red sauce.

Cuatro De Mayo Fiesta
It is so fun to get together with all of the young married kids in our ward so we threw a fiesta before we had a bunch of them move out. It is sad to see people go, there are so many awesome people that we have met.

So sometimes I probably get a little carried away with parties... Craig didn't want to dress up with me so I did all by myself and had a great time as Paco. It was the finishing touch on our fiesta as we had sombreros about, Juanes playing in the background, St. Augustine candles lit and a pinata in the background. Thanks to Dad for the Quatemalan shirt, my uncle for the wonderful red boots & my collection of brown material which provided me amazing facial hair.

What's a Cuatro de Mayo party without a pinata!!? I think it made the party a lot funner for the kids-
