Fun with Friends

Recently, I was able to visit with so many of my good friends, and since a lot of them live in Utah I was fortunate to spend so much time with each of them. It was so fun to catch up with each of them, and it didn't even seem like any time had passed!
I was able to see my great friend from SVU, Alyssa. We were able to get together and watch "our show" together every Tuesday night! I already miss getting together with her for our date night!

Even Colby loved meeting Alyssa and he loved her husband Greg and their cute dog!
I was also able to see some of my old mission companions. On my way up to Island Park we drove through Rexburg where my old companion Holli Holbert Sharp lives. She has two children and her husband was also my District Leader at one point.
Another companion I had, who was my longest companion, was Jill Marble Goodman! She and I are both California girls and have always been close! She and I got married 1 week apart, and we had kids about 3 1/2 months apart. However she is on #2 and I am still trying to handle #1. She is so great and I love getting to see her! Here is Colby and her daughter Linley

I also got together with 2 of the girls I played volleyball with at SVU. My favorite setter of all time, Alison Hamilton Mantell and my fellow outside hitter Kate Nelson.
Some other friends that I was able to see (but didn't get pictures) was Jen Grimm Chamberlain, who I went to interior design school with, Paul Leck who was a friend from my freshman year at BYU, and Nicole Paulson, who was a good friend of mine when I lived near Salt Lake. Although I didn't get to visit too long with them it was still great to see them and catch up! And if missed you while I was in Utah I will be back since my parents live there so we will have to get together!

Thanks to all my friends, both near and far, and those I was able to see and those I haven't seen in a long time! Each of you have been there for me in more ways than you will know and have supported and strengthened me! I have been blessed to meet some amazing people and to have them as my friends has made me the luckiest person in the world! Thank you to all my friends near and far for all you do and have done for me in my life, I love you all!
