To My Best Friend

You are the one I live for,

The one I love to hold.

You are the one I cherish,

Our love does not grow old.

For you I would do anything,

Everyday my love grows stronger.

Will I love you till the day I die?

No, I'll love you even longer.

As you can see I am not much of a natural poet. I just thought I'd give it a shot. Love you all!

John Mayer!

I recently went to the John Mayer concert. I've loved John Mayer's music for a long time, and I was so happy I got to go to his concert. He was a great performer, and I had a wonderful time! This is my friend from high school, Kailey Bell. She and I were on the dance team together! We went to the John Mayer concert on July 31! I hadn't seen her for a year and a half, so it was really good to get to see her and go to the concert together!
This is my friend Ashley and me after the John Mayer concert. Her Mom took her to the concert and they were nice enough to give me a ride!

This is Colbie Caillat. She was the opening act for John Mayer. I was glad I got to see her too! I really like her music, and she did really well live.

Family!

We had our Hiatt reunion on July 25-27, followed by our little Brooksby family get together the next weekend. It was lots of fun! Out of the 161 members of our Hiatt family all but 19 were there! That's the biggest turn out ever! I always love having our family reunion! I've been trying to post this for weeks now, but for some reason the pictures won't upload. I don't quite know what to do?! Sorry its taking to so long. I'll try and post some pictures seperately. Wow! It worked on the first try when I posted them seperately. I guess the pictures just didn't like this post. Who knows?! Love you all!

Family Pictures!

My family, including both sets of grandparents. It's getting pretty big eh?!
The Girls! (Well adults anyway)
Some of my cousins that are around the same age as me. We always take pictures together at the cabin!
My sister Emily and me smiling for the camera!

This is Funny!

You Know You're an Arizonan When...

All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April.

You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever.

Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los".

You think 60 tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful yard.

You notice your car overheating before you drive it.

Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof.

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.

You can say 115 degrees without fainting.

Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer.

People break out coats when temperature drops below 70 degrees.

You discover, in July, it only takes two fingers to drive your car.

The pool can be warmer than you are.

You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace.

People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out-of-state or nuts.

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

The AC is on your list of best friends.

You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds.

The water from the cold water tap is the same temperature as the hot one.

You can (correctly) pronounce the words: "Saguaro", "Ocotillo", "Tempe", "Gila Bend", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim", "Cholla", and "Ajo".

It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is walking on the streets.

You experience third degree burns if you touch any metal part of your car.

You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts.

Announcements for Fourth of July events never end with "in case of rain......

"When someone asks how far you live from a location, it's always in terms of minutes, not miles.

Everyone's smiling and talking about the great weather on rainy days.

You have to explain to out-of-staters why there is no daylight savings time.

Howdy Ya'll! It's Been a While!

Sorry! I know its been a while. Quite a bit has happened in my life in the past month. I just haven't gotten around to posting anything about it yet. Josh (my boyfriend) left on his mission a week ago Wednesday, July 23. He still has another week and a half in the MTC then he leave for Baltimore. I've gotten a letter and an email from him. They were both pretty short because they don't give the missionaries a whole lot of time for stuff like that. Anyway, he said he's doing really good. His companion Elder Hopper is from the Phoenix area, and one of his other roomates, Elder Kisbaugh is from Queen Creek. Don and Josie (and family) do you guys know him? I thought you might. He says that they are all extraordinary young men and he couldn't ask for a better companion. They all get to go to Baltimore together so he is excited about that. Anyway, I'm doing pretty good. I know Josh needs to be out there right now, and I can definitely feel the Lord comforting me and assuring me of that fact. I'm so excited for him! He is really a great young man, and he is very eager to get down to business. He has been waiting for this time for 19 years, and now it's finally here! Yay!
