Thankful for friends

I am oh so thankful for Mandi and Cheryl. My two very best friends from the 2 years we were in Rathdrum. I miss you everyday!

Jalyn and Marissa are two of my best friends from high school. Everytime we see eachother we pick up right where we left off. I love you both!

I am thankful that my husband loves my friends just as much as I do. We alway have so much fun together being silly. I love and miss all my friends that I cannot be close to!!

Rachel and Brian's wedding

Here are some pictures I took at my sister Rachel's wedding. It was on August 29th so I am a little behind on my blogging.

Warning!!!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally but this one is real, and it's important.

Please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up,

DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!

They only want to see you naked!

Man, I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.
