Friends, Family and Memories

What a wonderful weekend we have had! We have had a full house of visitors and I wouldn't have it any other way. On Thursday my Mom came down to visit and we spent Thursday and Friday exploring and shopping. Carson was so excited when he heard the doorbell ring Thursday morning because he knew Grandma was here!

Saturday we watched Conference together and feasted upon the words of the prophets. Later that night I held an open house for Scentsy at my apartment. I had a few people come, but most importantly I was able to spend some quality time with friends. Tiffany and Marshall came over and while the guys went to priesthood together, Tiffany stayed here to lend support during my dismal open house. Later my good friend from my childhood, Andrea Barnes, came over to visit. She just got back from living in Alaska. That girl is a traveler! She is staying with us through Monday and it has been so fun to catch up.

About 10 0'clock Saturday night Grandpa & Grandma Birch showed up. We were so excited to have so many people in our home!

Today was heaven. We all ate breakfast together and then watched Conference. I loved having everyone gathered around in our living room, all united in the gospel. Later in the day we had Kris, Alese, Alex, and Braydon come over to visit. It is so nice to have a place where even though you have a lot of visitors, there is still plenty of room!

Monday, Mom will be headed home and Andrea is going with her to go see some of her family in Idaho. Then Monday afternoon Molli will be here. We are all going to the WEEZER concert at the E Center on Tuesday. What a busy few days its been, but I LOVE having the doors of my home open to family and friends.
