Travels.

March was a busy month. School of course keeps me constantly working, but to add to the madness of my life, I decided to go visit some friends. My first visit was a quick trip to the Seattle area to visit the TELFORDS! This is one of the best families in existence and they have become a second family to me. I love them dearly and had not seen any of them except Leann for several years (Leann is in my parents ward so that makes it easy to run into each other).

This particular weekend JANAE was in town! She came up from Utah to help Jordan because he is moving to Utah. This was a rare opportunity to spend time with Janae and see JORDAN before he moved far away. I of course had to take advantage. Especially since Jordan has become such a wonderful support in my life. As if this wasn't enough wonderful people, I also got to hang out with their parents and GRANDMA! I have no grandparents of my own, but Grandma Joyce has adopted me and is the sweetest woman alive. She is always looking out for me and loves to hear about what is going on in my life. In true grandma fashion, she also always wants to find me a boy. ha ha.

This visit made me realize how much I missed the Seattle area, and let me tell you it is ALOT. It also made me realize how much I miss these wonderful people. I have great friends in my life right now, but not any of the friends I've had forever. The friends that are my family. I greatly miss that.

The other trip I took was down to Pullman to visit COURTNEY! Dreamiest! Even though she only lives an hour and a half away, we have not seen each other since last July. Both our lives have just been so crazy. But I finally squeezed in a quick visit and am soooo happy that I did! It was so great to be together again. We had a great time catching up. I also got to meet her wonderful friends and of course play with the dogs. I most certainly need to make time for another visit.

Please excuse how bad I look in these pictures. I had just woken up and was unshowered. Not the best idea. But I'm glad that we captured the visit.

There are so many other friends that I really want to visit! Recently, I have been asked to come to three different places around the country. lol. If only I had the time and money. Friends please know that I miss you all and wish I could be with you! <3

Small town Idaho fishing trip!

I went on my first fishing trip! Hannah (who is in my program at Gonzaga) grew up a few hours away from Spokane in a very small town in Idaho. She took Meghan (another awesome girl from my program) and me on a little fishing adventure. It was so fun to meet her family and see the town that she grew up in. It was so beautiful out there and her parents were wonderful!

It was a great day to go out to the river and her dad took good care of us. He built us a fire and showed us the ropes. Meghan and I had fun learning to cast. We had a problem of getting caught in the rocks, so none us of caught anything. But it was still so much fun! We also explored around the river until it started raining on us. It was a fabulous trip and exactly what I needed at that moment in my life. It was awesome to get away and have this wonderful distraction. I can't wait to go again!

Here are some pictures of the fun:

Aren't we cute?

(This trip actually happened in February, but you know me, I'm not so great at writing on my blog. lol.)
