dately lately

I went on a girl date to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!

It was such an amazing movie. I've had a bit of HP overload- I watched all 8 movies in a week.

Can I say I just love summer?

 On Friday night I went on a double date with Harrison, and Mitchell and another Sarah.
We made a pit stop at Peter's Drive-In (oreo and maple walnut milkshake and onion rings) and then we went to Prince's Island Park.

 This is what happens whenever Harry gets hold of an iPhone..

Spent some lovely time on the playground..

Our best attempt at a group shot

 We went to watch the Stampede fireworks atop a hill.

This morning I went on a dress-up breakfast date, at 7:30 in the morning.

Feelin' pretty peppy in the AM

Dating is so fun, and it's even more fun to do it the Mormon way. Plus, I have the greatest friends ever. 


Love,

I'm Home!

I made it back from my two week trip from Utah on Canada Day.
Tomorrow, I leave for girl's camp until Thursday. 
Until then, here's a peek at my vacation!

I love my squish!

P-man is such a stud!

My Grandma's funeral was beautiful, celebratory, and sad.

Peace out!

My dear grandma passed away this morning. Her condition had been declining rapidly over the past few weeks. I heard about her condition first from my bcf Maddie last Thursday. She said that she had never seen Grandma so sick. I forgot to send grandma a birthday card, (she turned 87 on May 27th) so right after I got off the phone I wrote her a letter. I used my very last Kit Kittridge stationary that I have had since I was 10, and hoped that my letter would get there in time.

 {The front and back of the envelope bring tears to my eyes because I feel like it's my Grandma coming home to her father, just like Kit did in the book that the illustration is from.}

 She didn't get my letter in time, but I know she knows how much I love and adore her and will miss her laugh and love of life.

I need to search for more pictures of grandma and me, but this is a picture of the afghan she crocheted for me, her second to last granddaughter, (out of like 35).


I love you so much grandma and I know that I will see you again and that you are without pain now.
I'm excited to see my family soon, we are heading down to Utah for the funeral. I am going to stick around and have my Utah summer holiday so the blog might be quiet for a while. 


Thanks for all the support!


Here's a link to the song I recorded tonight, in memory of my Grandma Allen.
