  2. I've been reading your blog since I stumbled upon the AMAZING easter wardrobe you created. So Lovely!
    So- I know cousin Brenda! I'm racking my brain! Her husband is in the Air Force right?? I think she was in my ward in Oklahoma??? Help! I won't be able to think of anything else until I know! I even can hear her voice in my head!

  3. Your family looks so full of joy :). Congratulations on getting your parents back! That is most amazing. Did you know they helped me to reconnect with one of my dearest friends? They are gems.

  12. Dang, I wasn't the first one to love the moon in the blossoms-not-snow shot.

    (what I get for being amid 4000 I suppose)

    Thanks especially for capturing the birthday surprise! I was sad not to have done better to get a picture!

  13. I know Brenda must have been sooooo excited to see you. My mom was going through some old stuff in her house and she found some papers from a FHE she did when we were kids. We had to answer questions about ourselves on the paper and one of the questions was who do you admire most that is around your age and Brenda had put "my cousin Katy".
    Wish I could have been there last weekend.
