Keen. Teva. Chaco. Reef.

I love all these shoes. Chacos and Reefs are my favorite. This sweet shoe picture was taken on a great day to be alive: Us four + Scott will be reunited on Friday.

Sleepover at the Hathaways :)

Sooo Excited!

p.s. If I ever end up with a dog (which would be a miracle for Scott, a semi-nightmare for me, the dog's name would definitely be Chaco. It's condition #1.)

Aussie Mates

Mark and Lucinda Rochester came to visit us while they were in town from Sydney!

It was such a treat to meet this couple who Scott taught on his mission in Australia! Now Mark serves as the ward mission leader :) These two were very funny blokes- the type who just joke around and there are no worries. They are "cheeky-as" people, always ready for a good time!

Scott loves this shirt; You would think King Bhumibol of Thailand gave it to him...

They reminded me of some lingo down under:

jumper- sweater bathers- swim suit

good on ya- uh, good on ya!

lift- elevator

rubbish bin- trash can

AND, did I mention they came through the door with a bag full of lollies?

Yeah, a Tim Tam Slam kit (try not to be jealous Marcie), real Cadbury chocolate, Picnics, little carmel things, and a few extra boxes of Tim Tams ta boot! THANK you Mark and Lucinda! Hopefully we will visit you in Sydney sooner than later :)

Reminiscing

I spent my lunch break today simply scrolling through thousand of pictures. And reminiscing.

Noelle and I "earned" this Hawaiian dream vacay by giving up all sweets for a year! SO worth it :)

We thought we may never reach the top of Mt. Sulfer.
Bungee Jumping!!! One of the most thrilling moments of my life :)I hate to say it, but I think I was too young to really appreciate this. But I remember LOVING it and loving my family. That little orange person is me, and the teal is Noelle :)

This was before the days of digital cameras.

Conquering the "Tombstone" was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I am still proud of myself for this one :)

I used to volunteer at a chocolate shop 2x/week. That was the closest I've ever been to living the life of Lucille Ball. What a dream :) And, China. The Great Wall of China! On a very Chinese looking day, I might add.

On days like today, I need to just remember that working 8-5 enables (instead of prohibits) me to do amazing things. Ah. It looks warm outside, yet I spend my days INside. Hmmm...
