catching up #5

APRIL


WELCOME TO THE WORLD, JULIA KAILANA!!! :) i told josue to call me even if baby is born at 3 in the morning. the next morning, april 4, i get a call a little after 3am. it was josue, and he said, "aunty rach, julia says good morning!" i was able to go to see cam in the hospital and meet little juju.

i have a few friends who were getting married. one of my friends, felicia, had her bridal shower, and i made a honeymoon basket for her. i was quite happy with how it turned out! :) see? there's candles, champagne glasses, roses, apple cider, and fancy chocolate. hehe.

it's become somewhat of a tradition of mines and my friend, ellen's, to go to coldstone on reading days. so we went. it was fun to catch up with her, and this time, she actually took a picture WITH me. :)

one of the couples who met in living legends, jerad and lauren, got married. i went to their reception, and it was exciting to see them finally married.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! :) thank you so much for everything you do and provide and help me with. i love you forever, dad! :)

because it was the last month of the semester, for visiting teaching, i did a "finals survival" kit for my visiting teachees. one of them isn't in school, so i did a "just because you're great" kit. i was happy with those too.

my really good friends in apt 44 all decided to move out of cinnamon tree. even though i was sad (because they became some really, really good friends) i understood their want to move out. so i told them that i'd make them a dinner to say goodbye and to thank them for being such good friends. i felt so domestic, and i was so proud of myself for making it. :) because they picture is blurry, it might be hard to see, but i made roast, mashed potatoes, salad, rolls, and i bought juice to drink. let's just say, it was good.

one of my friends from my math class,allie, went on a mission. because she was about to leave, all of us math table got together one last time, and ate at cafe rio. it was yummy and so much fun, and i'm sure she'll be a wonderful missionary. :)

during finals week, i got together with margo (my roommate from freshman year). she got back from new zealand where she was on a study abroad for eled. it was fun to catch up with her, to hear her stories, to see her pictures, and to look forward to some of our freshman year ward friends coming home from their missions.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAGS!!! :) meags had a little party at a park near cam's house, and it was a fun barbecue. i enjoyed it, and it was fun to celebrate a birthday OUTSIDE.
