Memorial Day


We had a 3 day weekend, and my sister Hannah came up from Provo to visit Seth and I, and my sister Claire who also goes to BYU Idaho. We really wanted to go Kayaking on Monday, but it has been raining for days and days, and there is a flood warning on the rivers. So we ended up staying inside most of the weekend. We had an awesome dinner on Sunday with all of us and Dan Springer, a friend from back home. Claire made Chicken Divan. So good! Claire said she would eat that every day, definately true. For some reason, Seth really wanted to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. He started making them at about 10:30 at night. We ended up staying awake until 3am! In the morning I woke up to the smell of cinnamon rolls, and walked out to see flowers on the table for me! It was a glorious morning. When your husband brings you flowers when you expect it, it is awesome, and when he brings you flowers when you don't expect it, it is AMAZING! It just makes you feel special, and loved. That was so thoughtful. To all you husbands out there, do not underestimate the power of bringing your wife flowers. And these ones show how smart Seth is because he got ones in a pot that don't die immediately. They just make me happy everytime I see them.

I love to read all the blogs with my friends and family with kids, and it is so fun to read them. The hilarious things they say... I am in the nursery at church, so I get to take care of the coolest little kids. One of the little girls, Katie Marie calls one of the boys "Odie," because she can't pronounce Owen, and he thinks it is hilarious. They just laugh and laugh. One of the thing that I think is so funny about these little kids is that they love to be chased and tickled. I hate to be tickled. I wonder why I grew out of it. I am so excited to have kids someday. I think then I will have something much more interesting to talk about, or at least more funny stories to recount.

We love your blog. It is so nice to see pictures of your life. Very cute hair cut; it's not exactly like mine because yours is straight and young looking. I think Seth's shark head is scary, but Dad thinks he looks better with it on. (ha-ha) Glad it was you hiking in 95 degrees and not us. We've thought so much about you lately. We are very proud of your great efforts in hanging in there, graduating from college, offering service, getting jobs and loving each other eternally. I am so amazed that you won the national debate tournament Emily. I've told all my friends. Keep up the awesome work--eat 'em up, eat 'em up, rah, rah, rah!!!!

Hi Emily - You may not believe this but with all of my free time I actually check in on your blog from time to time to see how you're doing.
I miss our long talks into the night. We think about you guys and the rest of your family all the time. We miss all of you guys.
