Mesa!

  Over Memorial Day weekend, Carson and I ditched the cold and flew to Mesa!! My grandparents moved there about 5 years ago and we went to visit my grandma. We had so much fun and it was WARM!!!

My mom met us there and we did, as my grandma so plainly put it, "whatever we wanted!" We ate yummy homemade food, wandered through Deseret Book, watched grandma drive an electric chair around Wal-Mart, went swimming, and just had fun being together! It was so nice to spend time with both my mom and my grandma. They are wonderful women and great examples to me of the kind of mother I want to be. They have such strong testimonies of the gospel and are dedicated to their families. I love them both very much.

My grandma was my best friend growing up. I grew up right next door and grandma and I loved to put together puzzles and talk after I got home from school. Grandma made the best homemade bread and I loved the smell of it. We would sit and eat a warm piece and just talk. When I moved away to college Grandma and Grandpa moved to Mesa. Going home always seems a bit strange without them there. I miss her so much and I wish we weren't this far apart....so this weekend together was much needed and long overdue.
