Carmelitas

Carmelitas for Karla -- a belated birthday treat and thank you for covering for me while I was away from work for 2 1/2 wees.  These take time to make but are worth every minute.  Recipe from #kelseynixon.

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful way to celebrate Marjorie.  #bostontemple

V.I.P.

This is a VIP (Very Important Picture).  It has been years (or maybe even the first time) that six Aaronic Priesthood holders have passed the sacrament in the Arlington Ward.  And in a few weeks there will be six deacons.  This is huge.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #arlingtonwardyouthareawesome

My living room art collage is done!

TBT: 3 kids in 33 months

Wilson Farms

I stopped at Wilson Farms on my way home tonight and admired these sunflowers.  When I got home there were some of these flowers and some gladiolas on my door step.  And some apple cider donuts.  #ihavethebestfriends #youknowwhoyouare #thankyou

I'll be back

Daniel and Krista and Jared are moving this week so we did a quick photo shoot at the Temple today.  Boston's loss is Charleston's gain. 

And it's a red eye

We're down two

Taken at Nan's burial in Nephi, Utah.

Ancestral home in Nephi

My brother John knocked on the door of this house in Nephi hoping it was the house Grandma Pitchforth grew up in.  He was right!  A guy from Oklahoma bought the home about 8 years ago and it renovating it.  He had some family photos that he found in the house and we are pretty sure Grandma Pitchforth (Athelia Booth Pitchforth) is in the photos.  The home is beautiful and the guy was so nice to show us around and tell us some stories.

Here we are in Nephi

The Sandy Jacobsons

Yep, they live in Utah now.  Honestly, I don't know how Utah is big enough for all my Arlington Ward friends that live here now!

Serendipity in Salt Lake City

Karen Pierce called me the day after my mom died and asked if I was going to be in Salt Lake City.  Her daughter Hailey's Utah reception was going to be while I was there!  I told her -- "I'll be there."  So tonight I made a quick stop at the end of the reception to say hello.  The Pierces were in Boston for Dave to attend grad school at Tufts.  They were grad school dorm resident assistants and had a sweet set up for an apartment.  And they had a field next door that we called "Pierce Field" and we met there numerous times for BBQs and baseball games.  It was so fun to see them briefly tonight.  Hailey was a beautiful bride.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever
