I left to London 3:30 am Saturday morning with Gavrila Chase, Emily Schuster, and Lindsay Peterson. They are really funny, sweet, generous and kind hearted friends of mine that were the most funnest people to had traveled with. We had the time of our lives away from our husbands and kids. It was just pure righteous fun and tons of laughter!
It took an hour to arrive at the airport and then once on our plane just an hour to fly into Stansted where we hopped on a train for 45 minutes straight into London in which we then took an underground TUBE (mind the GAP) for 10 minutes towards our hotel. Once we dropped our stuff off at the Hotel the rest of our day was full of walking and laughing which was the funnest form of exercising that I would recommend to anyone. We had a BLAST from London's PAST!
Even though we only went for one full day it honestly felt like a whole week and when it was only noon we felt like it was 6pm. We were only an hour difference too. We got so much done in one day that we felt one day was sufficient enough. London's money is called pounds and right now it is the highest currency in the world. If Something cost 10 pounds they are really asking for 20 American dollars. It was a very expensive trip but we got the best of deals and spent only what we had to.
Plus, The day before, Dustin threw a yard sale for me by sitting in the Hot sun by himself selling all our JUNK because all the money was being donated towards my London trip. Dustin made me over 100 dollars and so a shout out to Dustin--- Thank you! I couldn't had gone to London without you....even though I did, lol! I love you!

Happy Highlighter House
This is our happy highlighter home in Germany. It is the brightest color house we have seen yet in all the land. In fact, it is so bright that it actually glows in the dark. You can see it for miles and I would not be surprised if the planes use it to direct their flight plans.lol
I did however ask the landlord (who lives underneath us) why they painted it this color, was the paint on sale or something? She said "No, we like how yellow and gray go together."
Do not be fooled though the inside definitely out ways the outside color. We have been living here for the last month and it is truly a wonderful home. It is very modern and updated inside than our last place. It has 4 HUGE bedrooms 2 bathrooms and a fenced in backyard . We absolutely love it and look forward to coming home when we are gone.

My new Camera!
I am so at peace having a camera back in my hands. I feel like I have been missing out on great photo opportunities with the girls. I did not get the camera that I really wanted but I got a good enough one to do the trick. I already know that I will get a new one next year. Until then, here are some of the photos that I have already taken.

Growing up so fast!
Until I get a new camera here are some of my favorite pictures of the girls. They are growing up so fast! I already miss them and they are not even out of my hair yet. I know that the day will come when it will be time for them to move on and have families of their own but until then I just want them to know what an honor it is to be raising them with the short time that I have as their mother. May I teach them the ways of the Lord and instill his eternal plan.
"If a child lives with parents for 18 or 19 years, that span is only one-fourth of a parent’s life. And the most formative time of all, the early years in a child’s life, represents less than one-tenth of a parent’s normal life. It is crucial to focus on our children for the short time we have them with us and to seek, with the help of the Lord, to teach them all we can before they leave our homes. This eternally important work falls to mothers and fathers as equal partners."
Elder Russell M. Ballard
