 Monday, July 29

I decided to make some freezer meals for Kaylee and Aaron to have during the fall when Aaron is back in school and Kaylee is working.  I love doing this stuff.  My mom came over to help me and we were able to make 15 meals in under 2 hours.



That evening was Addie Dyches wedding shower. Ashlee knows how to throw a party. I made a roasted street corn salad to go along with all the other yummy salads.  Love these ladies.



Then I went to Shar's to make picture frames from all the sea shells we collected at Lake Powell.  They turned out so cute!!

I had to take Kona to the vet at 7 in the morning because she needs to have her teeth cleaned and they have to put her under to do it!  Christi Nebeker wanted to get together and she loves hiking as much as I do so we met at 7 to go up Payson Canyon to Secret Waterfall.  It is a quick, fun hike that is never busy.  






After my hike, I went and got my hair done and then my nails done.  Hillary flew in today, so I went over to my parents house to hang out.  We couldn't pick Kona up until 6:00 so we went to Chubby's for dinner then picked up Kona.  she as so excited to se me.  We went back to our house to play games.



Wednesday, July 31

We went to Sundance today to ride the lift to the top of the mountain.  We had lunch at the Bearclaw Cabin.  We shared nachos and a quesadilla. It was fun to just relax and enjoy the beautiful, Utah mountains.  We could see Stewart Falls, Deer Creek, Utah Lake and more.

















Thursday, August 1

Today I spent a good part of the day doing OSHA. We went to the movies with my parents, Hillay, Josh, Kenna, Katie, Ben, Courtney, Kaylee and Aaron.  We saw Trapped.  It was a thriller and most of us liked it. It was our last night together so everyone came back to our place to visit for the evening.

 We had a long, holiday weekend so we went to Mikembo with Moren & Sisca, Darius & Leonie, Leslie, Trent, Scotty & Kayla and kids! It was my first time being there and I loved it!  I was a little nervous when I heard we would be camping in tents, but it wasn't that bad. The tents were "nice" and we just sprayed for insects 2-3 times a day. There was a pavilion where we cooked, visited, and ate. There was a pavilion closer to the river that had couches and a table. People napped there, we played games there and just relaxed!  It was very green, because of the rainy season. It was a very beautiful place!  Simi playing around in the eating pavilion.  Caught Cory taking a nap! You can see the tents in the background. Scotty and Trent went and found some wild mushrooms and cooked them up! I was excited to taste them, I love mushrooms!  These particular ones were not my favorite...they had a flavor I didn't like.    It was very hot and humid...

 Thursday, January 30, Morne had me work from home. He didn't want us leaving the compound. I spent the morning doing my normal work and then at 2:45 in the afternoon, Sisca came knocking on my door telling me there was an emergency meeting called at 3:00 and Morne wanted all of us on the phone for it.  We met in Leonie's house and called in.  Morne started out by telling us that the M23 Rwandan rebels, who had already taken over Goma in the North, had started moving south and were planning on taking over Bukavu.  They announced their intentions to continue moving south taking over Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga, Lubumbashi, and then make their was to Kinshasa. The US Embassy had already been attacked and set fire to.  There was discussion about what we should do and the home office was involved too.  It was decided that all the women and children should leave. We didn't know for how long, but because the airport is also the military base, they wanted us to leave whil...

  Monday, July 1 I was able to be in town for this Westland Breakfast!  It was so fun to get together with all the women of Westland and laugh, visit and eat good food! One of my favorite things about Monday's in the summer is Springville City's Farmers Market!  We love to go walk around and look at all the fun booths then get some yummy food from the food trucks and share!  This time we got alfredo pasta, calzone, corn dogs, California roll sushi, BBQ brisket with garlic mashed potatoes.  Our favorite was the corn dogs and least favorite was the calzone.  I tried the sushi and it wasn't that bad...but there was no raw fish so apparently it's not real sushi! Tuesday, July 2 We got up at 5:30 so we could go fishing up at Strawberry.  Kim and Janet met us up there.  I dressed for warm weather and it was so cold that morning.  I was bundled up in blankets and sweatshirts.  It warmed up as the morning went on.  It was so nice to be out ...
