Back in the Day

So Today Kurt and I went to a Sealing that was in the Provo Temple....P.S its our 8 month anniversary, and it was so awesome to be be in the temple and to hear those wonderful words again! Oh how much I love my wonderful Husband!

 
Anyway.. back to this Post....Being in Provo brought back some old memories of the 4 years I lived there.  So let me take you back in time to the summer of 2004.  I graduated High School and moved to Provo with some Friends: Erin Parry Cahill, Ashley Hammack Butler, and Amanda Nelson Stromberg. We randomly moved in with Ashley Child Peterson and Jerilyn. We lived at good ole King Henry, it was probably the best BYU ward I lived in. I started Hair School in August and it was really hard for me to go to bed early on Friday nights cause I had to get up so early for Saturday class. My poor rommates because I could get cranky. There were good times and bad times. We all learned a lot about each other. It was also fun to have other High School friends in Provo. Kadee Leavitt Smith, McKenzie Christensen, Heather Harrington West, Celina Fajardo Tingey and Katie Simons Romo, and im sorry if I left out any other BHS girls. These were the days before I had a digital camera so I don't have to many pictures to Post.


The next fall Erin, Ashley, Ashley and I continued living together at King Henry, and Rachel randomly moved in with us. That year had its challenges for me.. I was trying to finishing school, my step dad had a massive heart attack and my dad's mom passed away unexpectedly. My testimony grew a lot that year! I was blessed to find a job right out of school, and to have great friends that loved and supported me!  Erin left us at the end of that school year, she got married and moved to CA so her husband to go to Law School.



Year 3 it was Ashley, Ashley and Me. we decided to change it up a bit and we moved to University Ave Condos. It was a newer nicer place to live...we had a strange random roomie for half the year until she got married. Then Emily moved in and she was a breath of fresh air. Next Ashley Child moved out and got married, moved to Salt lake so her husband could go to Law School. Then came Jack, Ashley picked him up out side of Wal Mart, she saw Free Kittens and couldn't pass it up. He was a fun addition to the Apt.! That Spring I went through a hard breakup and Ash was so there for me! we had lots of fun adventures that summer: Hawaii, lake trips, bike rides, midnight road trips to Reno, Stadium of Fire and lots more!




The next fall Ashley moved in with some other friends and I moved in with some Hair school friends. We lived on Center St. in Provo above an antique shop. Hollie and Cic were great fun to live with and our loft had lots of old school charm. I ate at Smoke House and Sensuous Sandwich a lot.  At the end of that summer Ashley got married and moved to AZ so she could go to Grad school. I decided to start a new adventure and move to Orange County, CA and work for Platinum. It was bitter sweet leaving Provo but it opened a whole new door for me! But we sure did have lots of fun good times! Girls I miss ya! Wish we could get together soon!
