This is my very lovely friend Rosalie.
She is gorgeous!
I loved taking pictures of her and spending time with her on my trip to Utah!
I am so blessed to have her in my life!

Easter with the munchkins

Sasha and Stranz starting the Easter egg hunt. It was so hard for me to stop them to get this picture!

I loved being home with my beautiful nieces and nephews. (Mo was out with his cousins)

He's home!

Reunited with his guitar at last!

The trio is complete again

Exchanging gifts

Luke got to see Jeremiah on his layover in LAX!

Oh, Luke

It is so wonderful to have Luke home and safe! He served a mission in the Marshall Islands and I couldn't be more proud of him! He's thinner than when he left but nonetheless, all in one piece. What a fantastic reunion!

Luke had a layover in LAX where he met up with my grandma and aunt. Jeremiah was late and missed him going to his gate. He tried to get the airport to call him back to security but it was too late. Luckily, a Hawaiian airport attendant (yes, I have to throw in that she was Hawaiian) over heard Jeremiah's conversation and gave Jeremiah a temporary boarding pass. Luke said at first they didn't recognize each other. I am thrilled they got to see each other!

Under the weather.

Current Events

• A uhhh rather fortunate car accident is leaving someone a significant amount richer.
• Went to the doctor today and yet another surgery is in my new future. Nothing new, right? I HATE feet so I will keep it short- I have a cyst on the top of my foot that is preventing tendons from sliding back and forth. So out if goes. I won't go into other details about my doctor's visit but I have a whooooole ton of referrals and blood work lined up for next week. Story of my life.
• My legs are experiencing tightness that is concerning me. It's the same tightness that all those surgeries fixed. I called the doc who did the initial surgeries and he has yet to get back to me. Hopefully this is all part of the healing process and I'll be up and running again in no time. I've been in my stylish boot on and off. I actually slept with both boots on the other night to prevent charlie horses. Sigh... Story.of.my.life.
• I am soooo excited to see Luke home and safe. It's like Christmas.
  
• My little group of Army wives that I hang out with are a hoot. We're having a nice little bonfire/get together tomorrow night. I am bringing a pasta salad that I am proud to report is rather tasty.
  
• The kitchen and I are getting along quite nicely these days. No fire alarms being set off, no ruined dinners, no strange concoctions.
  
• My new friend Sareh has been showing me all the hidden secrets of Monterey-the best views of the beach, the best hole in the wall diners, beautiful hiking trails. She is also teaching me lovely recipes like sharp white cheddar alfredo. YUM.O.
• It seems like I have so much more to report on but my mind is somewhere else tonight. I'll report more later.

I am VERY excited for Luke, my awesome triplet brother to come home!
He has been in the Marshall Islands for the past 2 years serving an LDS mission.
In 12 days I will be flying home to welcome him home!
I am soooo very excited to see him and the rest of my family and friends!
