2011 Adventures

May 6, 2011
Exactly three years ago my best friend took me to the Logan Temple and made me one of the happiest girls in the world!  Exactly three years to the day later I couldn't have been happier spending the day with the man I love in the St. Louis Temple!  Even if we did have a few glitches!!

 He always makes it easy to smile!!!
 It was awesome to have my parents in town for a fun filled weekend!!!  We spent Friday in St. Louis, where we went to the temple, the zoo, some old indian ruins, and a St. Louis Cardinals game!!!  We had a blast.......even though the navigator (me) got us lost a few times.  But hey give me some credit I had never been to St. Louis! :-)  We had to take these next two pictures.  Notice that Holly is the "Social Butterfly." :-)
 We decided that if mom got a picture Dad needed one too!!
 Just after dinner at TGIFridays and on the way to the baseball game!
 Awesome game!!! We had a lot of fun!!!!  Beautiful view, fun company, spicy nachos with lots of jalepeno's and they won!!!  Couldn't get much better than than!!!!  It was amazing to have my parents visit the week before I started nursing school.  They were also here to see me get put into the primary presidency in my ward.  I have to say I really enjoy my calling!  I love the kids and couldn't have asked for better sisters to serve with!
 I have a picture of my parents at the ball game too but my computer wouldn't let me upload it. :-(
 After church one Sunday.  We had a lovely hatching of cicada's in Missouri this year.  They were EVERYWHERE!!!!  And they were so loud!!  It took us three tries to get this picture because they kept landing on me and I would flinch as I tried to take the picture. :-)
 Our garden!!!!!  The day we planted it.  It looks very different now. The tomatoes have quadrupled in size and the peppers are producing like crazy!!!  One of my new favorite parts of Missouri in my own backyard!!!  We call it our salsa garden since they only things we planted were tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalepeno's.  Can't wait to bottle hot sauce this fall!
All in all life is going good. I currently have just three weeks left of my first semester of nursing school!!!  Dustin is home working hard after successfuly finishing his first year of vet school.  He did amazing and passed his classes with flying colors!!! I could be prouder of all he has accomplished!!  I get to visit family in Utah for a few weeks in August.  Can't wait to see my family and hold my nieces and nephews!!
