Old Town @ night
Tip: go there in the evening and enjoy the illuminated alleys and houses. Yes, fairy-tales do exist. One of them is called Gamla Stan. {words from a Sweden travel guide}
Thinking back to our trip to Europe last year I realized some of my favorite moments included the moments just after this photo was taken when we walked down the streets of Old Town in Stockholm in the rain eating ICE CREAM ... it really was lovely. I plan to do it again. Just sitting here remembering how much I loved Sweden, how much I wanted to stay there & never go home, how sad I was to leave ... I feel so blessed to be going again.
Honestly, the morning we left Stockholm last year I told Coby I would find a way to get back there. A trip paid for by others & I get to share it with friends. Amazing how things happen.
I am SO excited for this ... I hope you are too Jen & Chris ... we are going to be dead tired but we HAVE to live it up!!!

Nekku's baptism
Saturday morning we drove to Logan to go to brunch with Nekku (@ Angies) then to her baptism (@ the Tabernacle). She had her friend there who is also Finnish ... they both look like movie stars we decided. Her baptism was heavily attended, there were probably 40 people left standing because the room was filled. Tons of boys were there ... I am pretty sure they all wanted to marry her.

I am adding Carly to my friends list today ... today is the day I decided we are really friends. No, she was my friend long before today that was a joke, but she did just start a blog ~ yeah! She has great recipes & ideas plus her hubby is a hair stylist & she is an esthetician so she knows lots of great beauty products to recommend. Carly works with me & has the best smile around!

Bloggers unite
This week was full of new friends welcomed into my blogging world! I found Erica's blog because she linked her blog to mine ... if you haven't done that try it, it is interesting! Use this link & search your website in the search box.
Anyway ... Erica has been my friend since I was in elementary & moved into Morningside where she lived. I remember coming home after school & going to her house to watch MTV because I wasn't allowed at my house {so rebellious}. I was boy crazy with Erica for many years. In fact we had best friend boyfriends for awhile & we could talk on the phone for hours! Erica is totally cute & is a really good mom.

More blogging buddies
Ginger has joined my friend list after finally sharing her website address (which I got from my sister not Ginger). Ginger has been my friend since high school, we ended up being friends because my sister & her sister were friends. She has always been a good friend & good example of being friends to everyone. I don't know that she has an enemy in the world, she's just plain nice! She can hula like no other too ... totally cute.

Another blogger friend
I am adding another link to my friends list ... Angie Anderson. I am excited to see what Angie writes about on her blog & also for me to see what is going on in her life. I think it was 3 or 4 years ago that Coby came home from working at the BLM doing fire & said I should be friends with his friend's wife. I thought it was funny he was setting me up to be friends with someone, but it worked out great! Angie is so easy to be friends with, so easy to get a long with & talk with. She is beautiful & fun!

Glass Pedestal {wal-mart special}
This cute glass pedestal was included in Jordan's Christmas gifts under $30 last year. I received one of these & have loved it ... can you believe it is from Wal-Mart?!
Sadly during our move to our new house the box with this glass lid was dropped & thrown away without me knowing until just this week. After weeks of wondering where I had misplaced it Coby told me he had just thrown the box away before I could be sad.
Luckily it is still cute without the lid.

Who are these people?
I have added many to my list of friends, but I often forget to check other people’s links after awhile so I thought I would let you know who my links are. As I thought about these gals I realized I have great friends who all seem to be beautiful, smart & funny. Lucky me!
Erica: My older sister who always dresses up head to toe even when never leaving her house. She is a fabulous mom, funny & a great friend.
Meg: My oldest sister who has become one of my best friends. She is a great mom of 6 kids & super active in different organizations.
Mombo (mom): She is also one my best friends who I can just hang out with & do nothing. She is funny, generous, smart & someone I want to emulate one day.
Anne: We never have hung out as “friends” but I would still consider her to be one. We have crossed paths in our lives for years. She is talented in many areas.
Annie: My friend since elementary school, super funny {she can make anyone laugh}, super cute & a friend to all. Annie is awesome.
Ashley: A stunning gal who may just be the girl of most men’s dreams. She is smart, funny, athletic & beautiful.
Becca: One of my best friends since Jordan & I forced her to be friends with us back in middle school {because our older siblings were friends which meant we should be too}. She is beautiful in everyway, stylish, crafty, a hard worker & smart.
Brandee: I remember Brandee being too beautiful to be my friend in elementary but when I actually met her later in our school years I loved her. She is funny, a great mom & she must be super organized with all she can do everyday!
Brit: I have known her since we were little yet we haven’t hung out since 7th grade {maybe even before that}. She is beautiful, a good mom & supportive of her family & friends.
Brooke: Stunning with a beautiful family. She is smart, dedicated, funny & creative. I have also known Brooke since we were little.
Bunch o’ Girls: Just what it sounds like, a bunch of girls all keeping in touch. I stalk their blog & they let me. These gals I know through my sisters or friends.
Debbie: We never really hung out in high school, but all my friends were also her friends, so we just have known each other. I have found that she is really funny, smart & successful.
Gabby: Jordan’s cool older sister, creator of designmom.com. She is super mom with tons of creative talent & cute kids.
Heather: Heather is Ginger’s older sister & super coolio. She is living in France with her cute little boy & husband. She makes me excited to be a mom.
Hillary: I love Hillary, especially since I have gotten to be around her again after many years apart. She is so funny, beautiful & has super cute boys.
Janae: We are blogger friends, only having met a few times outside the computer. She is a beautiful girl, funny & I am sure she would be an awesome neighbor & friend if she lived close. I work for her brother-in-law.

Kena: I grew up down the street from Kena & now see more of her mom than I do of her. Kena is way ahead of me in being a super mom & in maturity, she is a great lady & I have enjoyed seeing who she has become over the years.
Kristen: I grew up down the street from Kristen & went through Young Women’s with her by my side. Kristen is a fun mom, creative & funny. I have been able to learn more about her from her blog.
Lacey: She lives up the street from me & is a super neighbor by inviting us to dinner & making sure I am ok while Coby is gone. She is extremely beautiful & if I didn’t know her I would probably think she was too cute to be my friend. She is super smart too.
Malea: She is my oldest friend from way back! We have danced together, traveled together, played sports together & watched Saturday morning cartoons together. She is very talented, very beautiful & very funny & just told everyone she is prego!
Marissa: I nannied for Marissa's family when I was 19 years old. Marissa was beautiful then just like she is now. I always knew she would be successful but it still amazes me to see what a great woman she has become.
Peggy: This is Anne’s big sister. Peggy & I haven’t ever hung out as friends but I would say she is a friend of mine. She is very talented, open to new things {living in Italy with her husband & 2 kids right now}, and makes me want to be more active in exercising.
Sarah: Rebecca & Ashley’s older sister who I grew up around. She has a beautiful family & is probably one of those girls you would see & envy … she is stylish & beautiful.
Shawna: I just moved from Shawna’s neighborhood & luckily she has decided to still be my friend. She is super funny, super cute with cute kids & smart. She & her husband are getting their masters while being full time parents.
Teresa: I hadn’t seen Teresa since high school but then we got to meet up over the summer. I was blown away at how beautiful she is & her beautiful hair. I still wish I knew how to do my hair like hers. She is fun to be around & easy to talk to. She just started a blog & joined my blogger group of friends.
