No I Am Not a Crazy Cat Lady!

So this is Harriot's favorite game to play. As you can see she is in the bath tub, and she will wait patiently there and meow for me to come play. This usually takes place when I'm doing my hair and makeup, and its just too funny. Its also very scary because you never know when she will attack the shower curtain! Often she will jump so high that she falls through the curtain and onto the floor which she demonstrates so nicely in this video.

My Red Hatter Grandmas






On Wednesday afternoon I went to a Red Hat Society fashion show where my Grandma Addie, Ryan's Grandma Lorraine and some other ladies modeled clothes from the Dress Barn. For those of you who don't know, Addie and Lorraine live right across from each other in a senior community. The crazy thing is they both moved there AFTER Ryan and I met. They've become great friends and its so fun to have two grandmas so close. It was so fun to see them in all of their cute clothes! They did a fabulous job, and I'm glad I was able to go! I have been wanting a picture of my them in their red hats, so I jumped on this opportunity. I know many of you will appreciate these pictures, and I cannot wait to send them to Ryan! He'll be jealous he couldn't have been there!

Memory Monday


My first step onto California sand



It was still a little cold in March!

Feeding this hungry seal!


Beautiful Sunset
Aren't these guys adorable?


I will never forget going on tour with Concert Choir when I was a senior. We went to San Diego, California and it was so exciting because it was my first time going there! We drove on a bus all through the night which was a little crazy. We arrived at San Diego in the early morning, stopped to have breakfast and went straight to the zoo! We were all really tired but it was so fun. We stayed in a really nice hotel ( I can't remember the name) but my roommates and I had a California king in our room and we all fit and slept on it comfortably most of the nights! We did some singing (of course) and went to Sea World and on a dinner cruise. It was such a fun adventure!
