DOVE

The other week in Relief Society they passed around mini Dove chocolate bars. I thought mine was very fitting.

 

I've been trying to do this my whole life. I'm so glad Dove gave me a lil' reminder.  :)

Swimming in June

When it's 110 degrees or hotter during the summer the best thing to do is go swimming. We did just that on my friend's birthday. She had the grand idea of taking pictures of us jumping into the pool. Be amazed... be very amazed!

Lucy

My roommate got another kitty at the end of May. Her name is Lucy. Olivia has been gone since March and she thought Janey needed a friend to play with. Lucy is 3 years old, but still very playful. She is a very sweet and loving kitty. As you can see she likes to be right in the middle of things.

 

 

I thought this was so funny. Janey has always loved getting under the coffee table and Lucy made herself feel right at home by squishing in with the games. It's like their bunk bed.

27!!!

I can't believe I turned 27! It's hard to believe... especially since when I was a baby the doctors thought I'd only live until I was 10. Wow, have I showed them! I celebrated all day by getting free food (3 restaurants here give you $10 free on your bday), seeing an IMAX movie, and having friends over that night for treats and games. My roommate, Jen, was able to hang out with me all day because she has the summer off. I had tons of fun!

 Messing around while waiting for the IMAX to start

 

 Krispy Creme gives you a dozen free glazed donuts on your birthday. I did it just because I could. I maybe ate 1 and gave the rest away.

Scrumptious lunch

 My sweet mom ordered me a cake from her house and I just picked it up.

Great time hanging out with great friends that night.

The happenings from April

Back in April I helped out with the Down Syndrome Easter Party.  I have done this for a few years now and it never gets old. I always look forward to seeing the sweet smiles on the kids' faces. Oh and of course seeing the Easter bunny.   :)

A friend of mine had a birthday in April so a group of us went to dinner and saw a comedy show. The show was so funny! I'll have to go again sometime.

Easter Pageant

On April 20th I went to the Easter pageant with two friends. I've seen it every year since I've lived here, but it never gets old being reminded what the Savior went through for me. He didn't die just for me, but for everyone. To think He did this for me blows my mind sometimes. It makes me want be better and do better in my life.

Down Syndrome Easter Party

In the middle of April I volunteered to help out at a down syndrome easter party. The organization that puts it on is amazing. I also help them when they have the Christmas party and buddy walk. It's so fun to see the sweet little kids from all across the valley come to enjoy games, food, meeting the Easter bunny or during Christmas meet Santa and Mrs. Clause.
