IDAHO CALLED...

AND THEY WANT THEIR HAIR BACK!!!

MOAB OR BUST....

Recently, we took a trip to Moab, Utah. We had the chance to go down and run the river, camp, and hang out with fun people. There was an art festival going on as well, so we went to check that out. I love Moab! It is such a beautiful place to visit. If anyone can figure out what I am looking at, just let me know (because I have no clue!)

KATRI TURNS 3

Katri turned 3 a few weeks ago and we got to celebrate with the family up in Centerville. We spent the day swimming and enjoying a family Barbeque. It was also a going away for Natalie and Quincy, and P-man. They left today for D.C. and I will miss them so much. I guess this means I have to visit D.C.!!!

MAS FOTOS DE ARGENTINA

This is in one of my areas in Argentina called "Calle Caminito" in La Boca. It was this colorful little Tango town, and it reminded me of mom's kitchen. It also looks a lot like Antigua, Guatemala. I loved the color and life of this place. I got these pitures off the internet, but it looks exactly like this. You will always see people outside doing the Tango on the street. Argentina is where the TANGO originated.

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires, Argentina (my mission)

BOCA JR's

BOCA JUNIORS

Last night I got a call from a friend inviting me to a Real Salt Lake vs. Boca Juniors soccer game! They will play here in Salt Lake on July 24th. You have no idea how exciting this is... The Boca Juniors are one of Argentina's best soccer teams (and I know Eric would agree). Their stadium was in my mission and I spent many p-days going to watch them practice. I wanted to see a game so bad down in Argentina, but this is the next best thing. This started me on a trip down memory lane, so I included some pictures of my mission...

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

I wish I could be with all my family and friends today celebrating a day of freedom. As I was watching the fireworks last night, I was reminded of my mission in Argentina and the 4th of July spent there (3 years ago). I vividly remember standing on the balcony of my apartment complex in Buenos Aires holding an American Flag on the 4th of July. First, I remember thinking how proud I was to be a US citizen. Second, I remember thinking of all the blessings we enjoy as a result of living in the United States. I remember being so grateful not only for the freedoms we enjoy, but for the safety we feel in our country. I was also grateful for a democratic government that is not perfect, but one that countinues to fight for the rights of the people. This is not the scene in many countires and we have so much to be grateful for. I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July. I love watching the fire works each year.
