It has been incredible being here with my good friend and BYU roommate, Sariah! It was such a blessing that she lived near where Trey's internship is so we could spend time with him this summer. Since I'd be travelling so much this summer, Trey got a place with 3 roommates and Brooklyn and I have been sort of Vagabonds. It worked out perfectly that I could come stay with Sariah while her husband was gone and before she left for Africa to meet up with her husband. Her 2.5 year old and 8 month old. were perfect playmates for Brooklyn. Sariah was the perfect company for me! She is brilliant, an incredible mother and a wonderful friend. Since we were both husbandless, it was nice to have eachother for company and help. We also had had a full week to talk and talk and catch up on the past 7- yes, 7 years since we were roomies. I thought I would go into the city more, but we actually stayed around her place, went to the parks, and just let the kids play together a lot. We did g

We are finally back with Trey! In fact, I went a week early, leaving Brooklyn with Judy for the weekend, so Trey and I could have a few days just the two of us. I was crazy - that was the part where I went from Memphis, to Nashville, to Baltimore, to Washington, DC, to Nashville, to Oklahoma in a 5 day period! It was totally worth the craziness though! We covered about 15 miles of DC, all on foot. Saw 4 museums, nearly all the monuments and even got in a play - "Shear Madness" It was fantastic - all of it! There were so many awesome places we saw - my camera ran out of batteries a few hours into it, but it was fun. On our way back to the airport, we went to this adorable town, Anapolis! It was awesome to be on the ocean again - even if it was just for a few hours. Thanks again Judy, Fred and Logan for making it all possible!

We have had an action filled 4 days with our friends Nat and Bella. Nat was one of my bridesmaids, I was one of hers, we were Badminton doubles partners when we were young, and later travelled to Costa Rica and Panama together after our freshman years in College! In fact, our Dads were friends in College, so we've known eachother forever basically. She came out to help me when Brooklyn was born, and 9 months later she had her gorgeous Ibella! It is an incredible friendship, that I am so grateful for! It has been awesome seeing where she lives and finally meeting the most adorable 1 year old (Next week) in the universe! She looks at me and I just about melt! Bella is an incredible baby - Brooklyn especially is enamored with her. She wakes up asking for "Baby!" Though they have their moments of wanting the same toy, they are already good friends (; We went to Nat's great Women's Bible study, and had lunch with some of the ladies after. I also got to go to the wome
