Yeah for Friends

Warning--the following is a trip down memory lane that will not be appreciated by all but will be greatly appreciated by some!

This last weekend I was able to catch up with an old friend. Amy
has been a friend of mine for about five years now. We met in Nauvoo while attending BYU's Semester at Nauvoo. I knew the second she got on the bus with her cute little Ann Taylor duds and matching red purse that we would be fast friends, and we were! I was able to see her because she invited me to participate in a boutique her mom and friends were do. I am very grateful to her for inviting me because it turned out to be a very successful weekend for Jonesy Baby. I love that Amy knows who she is and is confident with herself. It always helps to have that in a friend! I am sorry to say that it has just taken me so long to hook up with her but better than than never! Though you might think that Nauvoo would get a bit boring (and it could) we managed to always find great ways to entertain ourselves.

Anyone who is looking for a Christmas card, birth announcement design, etc check out Amy's new venture, Ink'd. From what I hear this is only one of her many ambitions. I am so glad that I got to see you Amy and this time it won't be so long in between visits!






If this picture was not such poor quality you might be able to appreciate what a great shot this is with the temple in the background. The reason why this shot is so good is because we had to get on the roof to get it. Shortly after this picture was taken we got in trouble for being up there, but we just deferred to Amy's mom since she was the "grown-up" of the group. Oops!



Running was so much fun in Nauvoo! We were always up bright and early in our "swooshy" pants and this morning was one of the best runs even though it was pouring.



We never lacked in the having fun area. We always found ways to entertain ourselves. (Don't worry I am sure that Elle had it coming to her whatever it was.)

I am laughing my guts out over here. I am glad you dug up every picture from Nauvoo (okay, not really EVERY)...anyway, mine are hidden away in boxes while we are at my moms. Good times...good times! Love you girl!

Well I have to say that I really enjoyed this post. Even though it was dedicated to Amy I am glad that I made an apperance. Just seeing these pics makes me smile and enjoy a trip down memory lane. And just to defend myself I am sure that I didn't deserve it... what ever "it" was! 85701 or whatever it was for life! What great times!

Elle,
I was hoping you would see this post. If this didn't get you to comment I didn't know what would!
