Africa!!!!!

So, last summer I had the wonderful opportunity of going to Africa.  It still seems so amazing that I would have been able to go and actually live there for a couple of months.  On top of the opportunity to go there, I got to go there for an amazing reason.  What an adventure!

In May of 2009 I got on a plane flew to Ghana.  I was excited and nervous and had little idea of what really awaited me on my grand adventure.

Yeah, I had been on a plane for a long time and didn't look so good.  A plane is never the best way to sleep, but I was still excited to be there.  Ghana!!!!!

Here are my flight buddies, Kelsey and Brynn.  Little did I know how much I would come to love and appreciate these girls!

 

Here is the view off of the airplane.  Akwaaba means welcome.  I remember walking off the plane and thinking it was hot and humid and I had no idea what was ahead. 

More of the Africa adventure to come!

Well after taking a two year, yep count them, ONE, TWO, break from blogging, I am back!  I have so much to catch up on and fill in from the past two years but I am determined to do it!  Hopefully, you'll enjoy and I can get people to believe that I am actually  blogging again.  So stay tuned!

Seems like this is the story of my life!

St. George trip

Roommates!

Here are some pictures of my awesome roommates! I really lucked out living with them and we all have such a blast together!

Megs and me! She has been such an amazing blessing to me. I love living with her, we have such a blast!

The roommies all decked out to go to an institute dance. Aren't they such gorgeous girls? Alisa Oba, Me, Megan Shaw, Elisabeth Havens, Brittany Cahoon.

Bella decided to actually be in this one so I have a picture with all of my wonderful roommies! They are the best ever!

Can't you see why I am in love with Megs? Who wouldn't want to not be friends with her?

Susan's Baby Shower

One of my high school friends and college roommates, Susan Fredrickson, is having a baby boy! Juli Aird got a bunch of us together and had a baby shower for her. We went and got pizza and chatted about what has been up with us since we last saw each other. It is crazy where life has taken us since high school. It was a lot of fun and really good to see everyone. Congrats to Susan!

This is the gang! Megan Shaw, Julie Deng, Katrina Strong, Susan Fredrickson, Tori Kohlieber, Juli Aird, me.

Ooooh! Is there a baby in there?!


Presents!

You can never have too many diapers!

A beautiful blanket, thanks to mom!

The Office attack!

So my roommates, who are amazing, decided to cheer me up when I was having a rough day by decorating my room in office quotes! It turned my day around and I was laughing. Really living with these girls has been such a blessing for me and I am so grateful for them and their love and support. Thanks girls!

Cabela's

Well I know that I have been a major slacker on posting on my blog so I am trying to catch up! Here are some pictures of when we took Korban and Savannah to Cabela's. Korban was super cute and had a blast looking at all of the fish and stuffed animals!

Korban loved looking at all of the fish in the tanks at Cabela's. He just kept running back and forth, it was sooooo cute!

Cute little Savannah! Isn't she adorable!

Korban was so cute while we were walking around looking at all of the taxidermy animals. He would always point at them and say, "Is that scary?" Here I got him in the middle of the act.
