Mandy Visits!

It was so good to have Mandy come down. I NEEDEd her to come down! Brad went to Vegas for work and to spend time with his brothers. It was nice to not be alone and to be with someone that already knows me and to have a familiar face. We had so much fun together just doing a whole lot of nothing. And of course I didn't take any pictures the whole time! The pictures above are ones that we had Carter take for us. He kept taking them so we started laughing so hard. We watched movies, drove around, ate, and ate and ate. It went by WAY too fast!! It was so hard to take her to the airport. I was having a hard time after I got back from taking her to the airport. It was so depressing! A girl in my ward that I had never met came to my house that afternoon to see if we wanted to go to the park because she had heard that we were new and that we had all boys just like her. I broke down crying. She's so nice so hopefully she didn't think that I was totally crazy! She was a tender mercy and just an answer to a prayer. That was kind of a turning point and after that day I have really loved it here and have felt right at home. That was really a testament to me that Heavenly Father is so aware of us and what we're going through and he sends people to us to help ease our burdens. The more I have gotten to know this girl she is so amazing and such a great example.

I love Mandy and miss living right next door to me. She is just like a sister to me. I tell her all the time that she is the sister that I never had, or that she's my long lost sister!
