Last night isaac and I went to the BYU vs. TCU football game. Don't worry - it took us over 2 hours to get there. We passed some of the time by eating dinner in the car (heather's super-yummy pasta salad). We parked really far away - not realizing how far away we were and had a nice brisk fall walk to the stadium. Isaac's friend Deppe had extra tickets so he and his wife were there, too. Brigette and Justin have season tickets so i got to see them and my mom and dad and Carter at the game, too.

After the game we walked back to the car talking about how funny life is and how naive and innocent we were when we were in college, not really knowing what life was going to be like. I mentioned that life was so fun in college because it seemed to have been one party or event after another, not really thinking ahead too much about where my life would go. He mentioned that he always felt like he was overly-responsible and stuff in college. I think living at home and going to college is a lot different than when you move away and are away from your parent's supervision. It is funny how my life has gone - but in the end, it has gone just the way it should have. And I like that. I just wish I could be 22 and dumb again. :)

Oh - I almost forgot! I got rear-ended after the game in the pretty after-the-game-BYU/Provo-traffic. Some chick hit me and when we got out of the car to look at it she said - Sorry, I spaced it. Uh....you spaced driving? How exactly does that work? Thank goodness there wasn't any damage done.

Today I am grateful I don't live in Provo.

it's about time!

Finally! I can post pics again. And just in time for the Tamales 10 year reunion photos. 10 years ago I met some of the most amazing women in my life. And it has been one of my greatest blessings to still call them my friends. We try to get together at least every six months or so, but we decided to get away for a weekend and spend some serious time chatting and laughing. And....we did. Four of us drove up to stay the night at Heather's house in Providence. We ate a lot of good food, talked A LOT and laughed A LOT. We even stayed up pretty late - for women our age. :)
On saturday we went up to the USU campus and walked around, stopping in for a shopping spree in the bookstore, and talking about some of our memories. Ahhh....the good times of our former years.......too many memories to mention.

Bottom row: me, Emily, Kelsey (and baby #3)

We all kept saying how happy we are that after all of this time, and the different directions our lives have gone, we are still such good friends. It is so nice to have so many solid friendships and so many good memories.

It'll be great to see what happens in the next 10 years.

After all....according to this picture....I am here. So where will I be then? What an adventure!
