A Visit from Mary Poppins...



It you've watched the previous post, I'm sure you can only imagine the amount of fun I had with my roommates! What's even more fun is the memories and looking back through pictures. Last week Katie came to visit (long brown hair, third from right). I haven't had that much fun in a long time! We took the kids to the Zoo, on a walk, to a rodeo, played at home, cleaned out my closet, organized my office, framed Andy's high school art work, picked cowboy stuff for Ben's room, skipped over to the Dallas Temple, and almost had an all-nighter (only made it to 4am). She is simply amazing and I'm so glad we've been friends for almost 10 years! Yes, we met 10 years ago this coming August. She and Becky (long light brown hair on far right) were my very first visiting teachers in the dorms and basically taught me everything I know today - even though I don't do it all. :) She made everything fun and got more projects done than Andy and I have been able to do in several months! KUDOS to Kevin Johnson who stayed home on his two week break from ER rotations to watch their 3 kids while Katie helped me with mine! Update on roommates from Belmont Apt #26 - from left

For Lindsey's Roommates

Okay - if your name is Katie, Jill, Angie, or Becky, stop right here and go and get your Husband for they will want to see this. Hollie - I did not forget about you, you just need to get married so that everyone has a reason to go on a family vacation to your wedding. Anyway - Katie brought this with her this past weekend when she came to visit. I digitized it and am trying something new - posting it on our blog via youtube. So naturally I am doing this instead of sleeping. Hope you enjoy it.
