Michelle's last week as my roommate.
I guess it's a good thing we are such good friends
so we can still spend a ton of time together.
We celebrated her being done with school
and her getting to take a vacation
with delicious Olive Garden
And I got to watch Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure with her.
I love that movie and the funny jokes and messages it has.
*Only thing missing was Alaura, who was here in spirit.

Hooray for waiting at the boat docks!

A couple of weeks ago Michelle and I went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Savage and the house was filled with family. Happy. Then we picked Alaura up from work and went to Caspers with the bill on Grandpa! Yum!

Thanks! :)

This year I can honestly say

I love Independence Day celebrated in small town Idaho.
I missed it terribly.

However I enjoyed my weekend nonetheless.

Last night, I joined the other Savages
and Michelle joined us (Cyri came for fireworks)
for some delightful stories, a bike ride, tag, and fireworks.

It was so much fun!

I love my family.
Remember the bike ride?
This is the bike.
We found another one too.
B riding the scooter.

This past week I didn't take many pictures.
Saturday though I remembered.
This was a day that Michelle and I were home alone.
We made some delicious lemonade
and blackberry tarts
And of course played with the lemons.

The Parade of Homes.

With Ashley.
It. Is. Amazing.
And need I say more?

Ok so I do.
It's SO much fun to just go from house to house,
walk inside, and love what you see.

Finding time to see them all was rough
working around open hours and both our work schedules.
BUT we did make it to ALL of the houses . . .
technically we only saw outside of the one in Hyrum . . .
but we would have gone inside if someone had been there
during the slotted time allowed for the house
AND we did go back to a house for a second look.
That counts right?

Nonetheless so great!

Splendid.

Ashley and I want to make friends with the people at
a few of the houses.

I'll let you know, how that goes.
Ashley found this small door and loved it.
Her own cupboard under the stairs.
Then we found an even smaller one in another house.
And can I tell you how MUCH I lOvE this chalkboard.
I am getting one for my house.
It just looks so GOOD.

(keep your eye out for one will you?)

Last week I got to watch Roy and Heather's girls

while they took off with my parents
and other aunts and uncles
and grandparents on a fantastic trip back East

I also got to play with Amberly.
I didn't get my camera out as often as I should have
but here are some pictures to enjoy.
We got snow cones and went to the zoo.
We also had a picnic this same day.
It rained.
We took pictures at the zoo.
We made chalk drawings.
C and A made a ladybug and an ant.
Then due to the video here,
they decided to sing about squishing their bugs together.
I hope one day to participate in an ImprovEverywhere.

My buddy and me.
CK wanted a picture of her doing something weird on my blog.
So there you go.

We did a lot more amazing things.
And more photos may be coming soon.

Yesterday was Memorial Day.
So first off

THANK YOU

to all those who have, are, and will be serving this great country.
serving me.
serving my family.
serving around the world.

(I can't find the one that I want. This will have to do)
Thanks for your willingness to serve and ALL that you do
even though it's not easy.

In the morning my roommates and friend Amy
drove up to Clarkston, UT to visit Martin Harris' grave.
One of the three witnesses of the Book of Mormon.
He was an amazing man that went through a lot.
I love that he never denied his testimony.

21/52

Monday my little sister graduated.
HOORAY!
She is joining me at Utah State this fall
and I am super excited.
Congrats Shayna!

p.s. Cody might be joining me too! :) I am so lucky.

Thursday was again my day off.
Alaura and I got Happy Meals
because who doesn't love them?
My mom, dad, and I can attest to a time
when they boosted me up while shopping.
Then that night we had fondue.
Here is the set up.
I made the actual cheese dip.
Thanks Alaura for helping.
We had apple juice as they drink in Switzerland
where fondue is popular.
And we struggled some with what to dip.
For the future: what do you recommend?
Yum it was good!

I heard a rumor once.

I still believe it's true and one day will see it
with my own eyes.

This rumor is that Swan Lake in Idaho
is covered in swans during early spring mornings

Thursday Alaura and I went to find it.
Turns out . . .
I can find the town but am unsure of the location of the actual lake.
Is it the body of water next to the highway?
Behind a mountain?
Something that simply looks like a flooded field?
Needless to say.
We saw a few swans in the last one but it was too far away
for the full splendor.
We had fun anyways and have NO regrets
about our 4:30 am road trip.
We found a boxcar and Alaura fulfilled her dream
of getting her picture in one.
We discovered this site looking for the lake
(notice it's light outside . . . yeah we looked for a while).
The area where the Bear River Massacre occurred.

18/52

I love guacamole (guac as I call it)
So we had a party.
We watched Leap Year and ate it.
As you can see we all like different amounts . . .
and Kendra's might be a little exaggerated for photography's sake.

17/52

Last Friday - I studied a little.
Then Amy, Amy, Alaura, and I
(wow I always seem to be the odd one out
with the first letter of my name)
went to Indian Oven and enjoyed a delicious meal.
YUM!

Pictures to come of the night.

Then we enjoyed us some Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

16/52

I am going to put two in this week's.

It was Earth Day so Kendra and I celebrated by watching
PLANET EARTH.
I love this planet.
God's existence is made evident by the things around us.
Look at a leaf.
Look at a flower.
Look at a bug.
Look at my friends.

He's there.

I also went to Casper's with Katie, Mary, and Brennen.
Also Lydia, Natasha, and Marlin were there.
I really am surrounded by the best of the best.

15/52

I am going to try and get these weeks right.

I had a picnic.
I don't have access to any of the pictures with me in them,
Or the one I was going to post of the people who joined me,
but it was pretty splendid.

We ate. Flew kites. Threw a flying disk (frisbee).

p.s. pictures will appear shortly i hope.

So there is this thing in my life.

Every weekday it is there.
Some days I love it.
Some days I only sort of like it.
Sometimes people are annoying there
(not my co-workers thank goodness).
And sometimes I have so much fun it's insane.

This place is called work and so I'm featuring it this week.

Today I had my camera and Bethany took some photos.
Workin'
Bethany "workin'"
I tried REALLY hard to make the same face as her.It didn't work so well.
Then we discovered we were out of Kleenex.

Why, yes was a "i love my job" day.

13/52

When I started this project my aunt,
made sure I knew that I could post a picture of me
with anything in my life . . . like say my computer.
This week I chose my Biochemistry book
We aren't really friends but it represents
what I spent a lot of time thinking about this week.

12/52

Last week I got to go home and see BHS's show
"Annie Get Your Gun."
Adam and Shayna were in it and it was phenomenal.
I enjoyed it immensely.
Alaura was kind enough to drive me down (Thanks again).
While there I also got to see Stephanie!
Happy Days.
We tried to get a good picture

(this one is ok I guess)

. . . and my camera died.
