Another blessing

I will be the first to admit that I have been very blessed in my life. One of the greatest blessing I have been given is great friends. And last weekend we got to enjoy some of the greatest friends.

When my friend Cayla invited me to her gymnastic competition in Utah I was more than happy to take a Friday off of school and head down to Utah. So after sending the kids that we were babysitting off to school and cleaning up the house we headed to Utah. Our first stop was Crystals. Crys and I have been friends since kindergarten. Although I did not like her too much the first half of the year (she liked to tell on me to the teacher for poring out my milk during snack time). After numerous fights our teacher put us on the same table with all boys. And due to the fact that boys had cuties, we had to become friends. And we became best friends. I do not remember a summer of my life that does not include Crys. We spent most days together every summer and even went to Spain together.  I am so grateful for the friendship that we built. While talking about friends the other day with Kevin I mentioned that I have never felt like I did not have friends, because it did not matter when or where I was if I needed someone Crystal found a way to be by my side. She is seriously the best friend anyone could ask for. So of course we had to stop and see her. We spent the day talking and then headed to dinner before we left for the competition.  It was very fun catching up and spending some quality time Crys.

Now Cayla and I became good friends in high school. We connected very fast and have remained really close even though she moved away from me to California. She is one of those people that you seriously just stand in aww of. If there is someone that I completely admire it is her. She is amazing at everything she does, (especially gymnastics) she is always smiling, very welcoming, and the funniest person I know. I adore her and am also so grateful for the friendship that I have with her and that we have stayed in contact and remained an incredible friend to me. We enjoyed her competition in which she did spectacular. Too bad we didn't have more time to catch up.

Following the competition Kevin and I headed to Grandma Bergs where we spent the night. We spent the next day with Grandma and then headed to Provo to see some more really good friends Jim and Lauren. Jim was Kevin's first roommate up at college. They continued to room together after their missions until Jim transferred to Provo. I could probably go on and on about how funny Jim, Kevin, and Mark are together however I don't know to many details about their friendship since Jim had already moved by the time Kevin and I started dating. All I really know is something about a gay horse? Anyways he is very funny and great to hang out with. You usually get a good ab work out from laughing when you are with him and his wife. Lauren is also incredible and so fun to be around, and we always look forward to spending time with them. So we enjoyed a great dinner and some great laughs about banging Big Juds and so forth. Sadly I forgot to take any pictures so enjoy one from Yellowstone this summer.
