Princess Melissa

For the past ten days Princess Melissa has stayed at our house while her mother was back east at Harvard visiting her younger brother Jared. I have not really mentioned Melissa much in my blog. I first met her when i was about eight years old when she and her family moved to Royal City. I remember meeting her at church. Our moothers set up a play date for us. I had never spent much time with someone who had Downs Syndrome before she came to my house. I just knew that she had long, beautiful brown hair and that she still loved dolls, dress ups, and Disney Princesses. Those are three things i will never grow out of for as long as I live. We got along great. She started coming over more and more often and staying at our house sometimes when her parents had to work after school. WE LOVED IT.
Melissa is such a little celestial being. She is so bright and happy and everything is better around our house when she stays with us. Even Big Mr. Jace can't help but smile when she says "WELCOME HOME HANDSOME!"Alot of people think it would be hard to entertain her for ten whole days but i loved every minute of it. She notices all the small things in life. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. She is brilliant. She remembers everything and we quote our favorite movies to each other all day long. I love it when she sings an entire Shainia Twain CD on her Princess Microphone Machine or when we go to the park and play on the swings. I love it when we race or when we pretend to be mermaids at the waterpark. I love that she accepts me 100% for exactly who I am. She never tries to make me different or change me because she thinks I am awesome just as I am, but at the same time she brings out the best in me. I MISS YOU BUDDY! Be Good for your Mother. I know I know, you always are....

Back to Blogging

SORRY GUYS! Things have been pretty crazy these past few weeks. Finals and moving sucked all the time and energy out of me. Now that i am done with test and officially moved into my new apartment i finally have some time to blog.
This past weekend my mother and I - along with my aunts and a couple of friends from Royal City went to Womans Conference at BYU. My grandma was one of the presenters, which was really neat although not surprising because she is an AMAZING person. She is so cute and did a wonderful job. Nicely Done Grandmary. I LOVE YOU! It was an awesome weekend just spent with some of my favorite girls. I learned alot and am glad i had the opportunity to attend.
Saturday my brother Riley and I drove home with mom. I am going to be working for Especially For Youth as a counselor this summer but i do not have to be back in Utah until the end of this month so i am going to spend a couple weeks chilling at home and enjoying the small window of time where all six of us will be here together. I am also working on my mission papers and can turn them in next month. EXCITING STUFF!!!
I am excited to be home and to blog about all my adventures on the farm. You should all be excited to read them. More to come soon i am sure. LOVE YOU! Hope summer is going AWESOME! Enjoy the pictures of me, my grandma, my mom, and cute aunts - along with the Ladies Of the Night, or LON as they like to be called (my grandma's group of friends) who came to support her. A couple of them also presented. Between her daughters and friends - and most of all her FAVORITE grandchild my grandma had quite the little support group.
