Family: The Best Medicine

I got Presiden'ts Day off from school which meant three day weekend! I decided to go down to Utah to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Shurtliff along with some other relatives. I stayed at my aunt Barbs house who lives very close to my grandmothers so I was able to walk there. It was very convenient. Grandma, Grandpa and I. It was so good seeing them. I spent all of Saturday with them. It was fun just sitting and talking with my Grandma and holding her sweet little hand.

The four cousins! We were all born in same year and always have to get a picture whenever we get together because it doesn't very happen very often. I love these girls! Since we don't see each other very often it sometimes takes a little time to warm up to each other and then we go CRAZY! I love these girls!

Sleep Over! We played games, watched movies and just hung out. It was a blast!!

Marisa and I! It's a little late...can you tell? :)

HaPpY vAlEnTiNe'S dAy!

Today was a pretty good Valentine's Day. I was actually pretty spoiled.

My mom sent me a package and this cute little sign was in it along with candy, some cutes socks and these little foam stickers (as seen below).

We put these all over our bedroom door. Very festive.

My sister Melissa also sent me a package which included these balloons which made our decorations complete.

A card from my mom. She is so sweet. In the card she said, "Tell your roomates this card came from your boyfriend. It looks like a boy might have made it." Ha ha. I love you mom!

This is card number one from Melissa. She sent me this card to throw me off about the package she suprised me with.

The very cute card Melissa sent with her package. So cute!

My friend Jodi suprised me and sent a package too! She spoils me. :) A valentine Riddle: What do you feed a teddy bear?....Nothing he's already stuffed! Pretty good right?!

My friend Erika sent me a very cute Valentine.

In the package my sister sent me she included this moose which used to be my Grandma Ririe's. It still smells like her. I have to admit that I did tear up when I saw it.

Melissa also included these very fun peace sign bracelets.


I came home from working out tonight and found this on my pillow! It's from my FHE brother Manny. He even dressed up as a Cupid and I missed it! Darn!

And to top it all off Kelsey and I shared this delicious heart shaped pizza which I thought was very fun!
