Basketball




Last Wednesday we went to the BYU vs. San Diego State basketball game. It was kind of a big deal around here. Blake really wanted to go and waited outside for 2 hours before we had to wait inside for 2 more hours. Fortunately, I had a book to keep me occupied (Book Thief- great book). It was CRAZY in the Marriott Center. I have never been to a game so wild in my life. BYU ended up winning, which always makes games more fun.

Happy Birthday Mom!



Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mom! I wish that we could be there to celebrate with her (hopefully next year we will). I am so lucky to have been raised by someone so caring and selfless. My mom always puts her family before herself. It has killed me to be so far away from her these past several years that I have been in Utah. Thank goodness for cell phones. Our daily phone conversations are the highlight of my day. Anybody that knows her knows what a loving and happy person she is. I hope I can be a wonderful mom like her someday. Love you Mom!!!

Goodbye Jacksons!

These are our AMAZING best friends the Jacksons. Unfortunately, Kristi and Blake recently moved back to California and left us behind. Kristi and I have been friends ever since sixth grade. I remember the first time we met. We were in sixth grade choir together and sat next to eachother (we had to sit in alphabetical order. Her maiden name Dow and mine Donaldson). We hit it off right from the start. Over the years we have become the best of friends. Kristi is truly one of the sweetest most amazing people I know. We came up to college together and were roommates our Freshman and Sophomore year. We have been with eachother through it all.
What makes our friendship even more special is our love for Blake's. It was so perfect that two best friends like us were able to marry such wonderful guys that got along so great that were both named Blake. These past years with them have been a blast! We are going to miss them so much! Fortuanately, we have the hopes of reuniting with them again someday in California!
Love you guys!
P.S. Sorry the picture quality is so bad. My camera has been broken and so I have been taking pictures on my cell phone. Luckily, I got a new camera for Christmas so the posts should start coming again and the pictures better quality.
