Visit with Lisa

I had some really great college roommates.  We became so close in such a short amount of time and built this amazing connection.  I sometimes feel guilty for not keeping in touch with them as much as I should, but when we get together, it's like we have never been apart.  Everyone came to Boise in the summer of 2007 and we all got together in Salt Lake in the summer of 2009.  I'm thinking we're about due for another little reunion!  It's fun to see the direction that everyone's lives have gone and the adventures they are having.  And it's been fun for me to watch their families grow - I hope to join them in that adventure someday :-)  Congrats to Jessica for their new addition Isaac!

Anyway, in just about a year's period, I was able to visit almost all of my dear friends in their hometowns.  I visited Sunny in Rexburg in October 2009, Emily in Logan in November 2009, Jessica in Austin in March 2010, and Corinne (and Tim!) in Virginia/DC in September 2010.  The one place I didn't make it to within those 12 months was Salt Lake to visit Lisa... well, I may be a little tardy, but I finally went and visited this weekend!  It was so fun to see Lisa pregnant with her third little boy, and to hang out with her and her two adorable kids Myles and Marcus (Brock was on call all weekend so we didn't see much of him).

We had fun playing legos...

Having lunch at Arctic Circle with our friend Val...

Digging for worms in the garden and putting them in their "worm home" (an old flower box full of dirt)...

Making oreo milkshakes...

And even getting a little shopping in.  I fell in love with Gardner's Village (and want to go back when we have more time!) and I bought some yarn in this adorable little yarn shop.  Lisa started teaching me how to knit!  I think it will take me a while to truly get the hang of it, but I've started making a scarf. Hopefully it will look like a scarf when I'm done :-)  We also taught the boys how to play one of our college favorites - SkipBo!  It was a really great weekend - thanks for letting me come visit Lisa!
