Ode to Cyrena

I was tagged by my friend Cyrena to answer some questions and post it on my blog but I'm switching it up a bit and posting my 8 favorite memories of Cyrena! Here it is...

1. Cake shake Thursdays!  (good thing this one didn't last long)

2. Grocery shopping together!

3. Attending the grand opening of Toys Are Us!

4. Trying to out do each other on the treadmill! 

5. Playing restaurant with my boys as the waiters!

6. Babysitting her little guy while she went to California!

7. Going to the Apple Orchard!

8. Cyrena driving Wesley to fencing class more times than me!

9. ( I'm adding a bonus) - her cheerful hello whenever I call her on the phone!

10. (okay, I thought of another one) When we went shopping with Lynn while the men went to general conference priesthood session!

Thanks Cyrena for making 2008 so fun!  Can't wait to see what memories we can make in 2009!

Vacation anyone?

I love to get away on a trip.  My husband just shakes his head at me.  It is a good thing we have travel benefits!  I didn't know this about myself before I was married.  Although growing up I did pack a month early for our family vacations!  I would get so excited I would make myself sick.  I'm afraid my daughter has the same bug.  She called yesterday for me to book her on a flight to Phoenix to visit her big brother.  She said, I don't know what it is I just need to get away every couple months! : ] So if you had a chance, where would you go to get away?
