~Conference Weekend~

For conference weekend Curt headed home to spend time with his family! We thought it'd be perfect timing for him to

get to be with his brothers before Ammon leaves

but it also ended up being great timing to be there with his 

Dad while recovering. Unfortunately, he didn't really 

care about taking pictures so i don't have any from his

trip. He said it was over 100 degrees one day and had

to come back to rain and snow. So with that mixture he's caught 

a cold, poor guy):

While Curt was in AZ my Mom came up and we had a 

wonderful time! We got to catch up, shop, eat, shop some more

and have lots of laughs and memories made.

I love being this age and having my Mom as a best friend!

Here's some of our activities...

Gardner's Village

(I've never been before, but LOVED it!)

Mom said this was her birthday trip so for her gift I took her

to get our nails done. We don't do that very often, actually

very rarely does it happen, but it was a blast!

Then Mom taught me some of her sewing skills and showed me how 

to embellish shirts. I think they turned out so cute!

She is so talented! I tried one of my own after she left

on Tuesday and it's AWFUL! Definitely need her by my side

walking me through things like this.

I ordered a lanyard online for my student teaching that is

made from super cute fabric. When she saw

it she teased me for BUYING it and then showed me 

how to make them on my own. Surprisingly it was much

easier than I thought and will be fun to have 

a bunch of them to change things up a bit! 

Thank you SO much Mom for the great visit! Miss you every day.

I always hate that empty feeling after family/visitors leave

your home and it feels so empty! 

Counting down the days until next time(:

Sure do love you!
