visitors and guest speaker


My friend Crystal, who moved away over the summer, came back to visit.
She brought her two beautiful daughters Brielle and Aislynn. We missed you, Brendon!
We tried out the new Dollar General.
(Yes, its true. Kirksville got a brand spankin' new dollar store.)
Crystal and Brielle tried out the ER.
We relaxed.
We talked.
It was fun.

Oh, how we've been missing our friend Brielle.
This week Jonah has been calling all girls Brielle.
Right before it was time to go Josh gave Crystal and me an early Christmas present: he babysat all 5 kids so we could go out. Where did we go? To see Ali Vincent-the first female winner of the Biggest Loser! I'm a Biggest Loser fan. We were pretty excited to see her.
Did you know Ali was raised a Mormon? She certainly was. Did you know my friend Kari was too? Did the tea and coffee maker throw you off? Awesome door prize!
Me, Morgan, Monica, Lisa, McKenzi, Kari, and Crystal
Pretty lucky we had 7 people and it was a table for 7
Here we are being all nice and cozy.
Not life changing but a very entertaining night.
She talked about her "journey."

I'm glad the Brownings moved only 3 hours away.
Lucky.
Thanks for the visit Crystal!

It was an awesome night...Eric agrees that she looks awful with those ridiculous extensions. I'm so glad we all went.

I am so glad that you had the idea to go see Ali. That night is such an awesome memory. The whole trip was good times (except the ER part, of course)! Can't wait for next time.... just a few weeks from now! :)

Lucky #7! I am a big fan of it too, hope Josh survived the night with all those kids.

AH! Cool! That is so fun!! IS Ali wearing a hairpiece? I'm really jealous of all of it. What happened to Brielle?!? And does Kirksville need another $1 store??! Where the heck is it?? Sorry for the intense comment.
