California









Our recent trip to California was a major success. We were able to reconnect with a lot of my family that I don't get to see very often. Every time I visit my grandparents or parents or siblings for that matter, I am reminded a little more of who I am. Perhaps because seeing them makes me think of who I was when they knew me better. I am really not that different than I was so many years ago- maybe just focusing on different strengths in order to do my job as a wife and mother.

Lacy, Amen to that. I'm always reminded of 'who I am' when I go home. I love it... and also don't love it at the same time. I never can figure out exactly how I feel. haha! It's nice to see you posting some more. ( :

I'm sad I didn't run into you at your trip here in CA. I still can't believe your married with kids! And you are still sooo gorgeous. I will always remember you as the Laurel I looked up to. The Senior I thought was so cool. The BYU college student I wanted to be. The returned missionary I wanted to serve with. You've always been such a great example to me. Now as a wife and mother nothing has changed. I still want to follow in your foot steps. You were amazing and continue to be even more amazing!

I totally agree with what you and marie said about going home, though I had never thought about it that way before. I hardly even recognized Tom with all that hair. Is that his child is was holding?

What cute pictures--- especially the one of you and Mel. I'll forgive you for the one you put of you and me. I'm pretty sure that was taken under the impression that no one would see it... was that right after you told me "Wow you look like you just had a baby" or something like that? Well anyway-- I'll forgive you. :)

I miss you to pieces. Wish I could have been with you in EACH of those pictures. And you really do just keep becoming a better version of you... still a peacemaker, still humble, still selfless, but now it's mostly for the sake of your husband and kids. You really are a wonderful mom and wife Lace. I just wish I could see you in action more often.
