Happy Birthday Mama!!

So she doesn't take any pictures! and she didn't want me putting any on here...
but I thought i'd wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It was kind of a sad birthday
since she's missing Rachel...a LOT. you can't really bring it up or she'll start
tearing up. haha. but that's why i love her! she is SOO caring. I know it was hard
to say bye to Rachel but she is so caring and loves us so much. I love her too!
and I just wanted to tell her happy birthday to the best mom anyone could
ever possibly have

And she's off!!

It was so weird saying goodbye to Rachel! I haven't been away from her for more than 2 weeks or so. Krista said, "Are you even gonna cry when you go to the mtc?" How mean! Of course I did. The night she got set apart was way hard for me because I realized it will be a whole year and a half. We got the chance to hang out quite a lot the week before she left...almost every day. We were so hyper together and I am really going to miss her and her funny voices! I know she'll be a great missionary and she is an absolute amazing examlpe to me..i love her very much so!!

EFY..

Monday-Saturday me and Shelbi went to EFY down at BYU. So I can't even begin to describe how freaking fun it was. Friday night we had a dance and then got in a circle with our company. I was trying so hard not to cry because who knew I could get so close to someone in such short time. Here's a couple pictures of all my favorite friends I made there!

This is me and Mike. It was like my all-time

favorite picture even though his eyes were

closed. :) He soo cute.

This is Cade, Shelby, and I.

Most of the classes were very good

and interesting, but this class was

so boring. So we had to do something to entertain ourselves!

Our group!!
