Two weekends ago, I got to travel home to Apple Valley, CA to see my brother, Sheldon give his farewell talk in church. He did a really great job and we had some adventures.
Grandma, Aunt Shawna, Jacelyn, Aunt Dalea, Uncle Brian, Cecy and I packed up Friday afternoon and prepared for the 8 hour drive. Cecy and I were in the back seat and I seriously thought my legs were going to fall off in pain. Luckily, we had some stops to stretch out. OH!
I gambled for my first time! Hahaha--why you ask? Because Grandma convinced me too...
Haha--she gave me a money and told me to do it. It wasn't very fun. I won't boast at my earnings. I more than doubled the amount I put in :) hahahaha. oh man. Ok, ok. I got $2.50 back. Big spender, I know.
Well, Saturday Morning, we woke up to a tsunami watch. The earthquake in Chile had just happened and we were driving to the Santa Monica Peir. The weather was so gross... but we had a good time.
This is Sheldon and I at the end of the Route 66 trail.
On Forest's, AKA Bubba, Gump's bench.
Sheldon and I reinacted the Titanic. Classic.
Family photo on the Peir. And the rain begins...
We ran. And got SOAKED.
Dad and me
At the LA Temple. Notice Sheldon's new BRIGHT ORANGE SHIRT. He was a little soggy and got a new shirt as payment.
Everyone at the LA Temple.
Sheldon had friends (yes, friends) come. They're going to live together when they get home from their missions. Cute boys. THey are all currently at BYU-I and drove down for the weekend so they could see Sheldon (Shelly, they call him) speak in church.

With Grandma :)
I'm so proud of Sheldon and the decision he made, years ago, to serve the Lord on a mission. I know that he will be blessed for his service. The people of Buenos Aires, Argentina will truly be blessed to learn from him--and he will definitely learn a TON from them. Godspeed, Elder Anderson!
Two weeks ago, my friend Chance invited me to volunteer at Romney's No Apology book signing in SLC. It was a really cool experience and I'm lucky that I was invited.
The Romney Vegas trip reunion...2 years later.
The crowd was so excited! We gave out these signs. There were a lot of them.
After the main event at the Bob Bennet/Romney partnership thing.
Here are some last pictures before Sheldon went into the MTC.
Looking at Sheldon's precious phone...before he looses it for 2 years.
All dressed and ready to go. Just Sheldon and his butterflies.
Eating Sheldon's Cracker Barrel leftovers. (I was getting braces--so I could take a sick day, conveniently--while they ate. Luckily, they were gracious and brought me leftovers :))
Sheldon and mom at the very well-organized MTC assembly line drop-off.
Sheldon, The Braces, and I.

Last week I stayed with Coralie one night. I just love her. She is so wonderful to me. Jaden and I had some fun playing around. He is so cute and so smart and always makes me feel so loved. Coralie and Justin are incredible parents. He can read (basically) and he is three!
Coralie is always so thoughtful and always is checking on me. She is the perfect friend. I just love her. And her husband. And Jaden. I'm excited for her to have her next one soon!
