Full House

Every summer usually the first part of June we have a little family get together. My mom's side of the family comes and spends the week with us. We have the Verdoorns who come form Northern California, and Mormor who comes for Pennsylvania. Needless to say we have quite the full house, but who doesn't love company. It does happen to be a party all week long. First off I got to spend one of the days out shopping with Mormor and B for some mission clothing. Not to mention I got so lucky I found the cutest clothes for the best prices. Then we grabbed lunch at a local chinese restarurant it really can't get much better than spending the afternoon with the girls.
Next up since of course it's summer and weather is kind of starting to warm up in Northern Utah we had to have the typical sleepover of the trampoline. Summer just isnt the same with out that small little tradition. I love sleeping out side, and just looking up at the stars. Even if you do get woken up by the sunrise. Or the fact that no matter what you do you always end up squeezed together in the middle of the tramp. Its just a must do, and I loved every second.

We also had to have the regular BBQ so we had family and friends hanging out all night. I LOVE summer for this very reason just outdoor gatherings with the people you love most. We spent the evening playing badminton, volleyball, jump roping, goofing of on the tramp, and just enjoying each other's company. Later on that night the Verdoorns introduced us to Just Dance 2 so we had quite the little party going on.
Sunday June 12, 2011 was my farewell. Saturday Night I had all of my besties from St. George come and stay at my house so we added five more people to mix. Gotta Love it. Of course Sunday Morning was crazy just getting ready for the day, but we managed just fine. Of course we had nine o'clock church so it was an early morning at the Grimes home. I can't even begin to describe how blessed I am to have so many people who love and care about me. Who were all willing to come support me. After sacrament we had a little brunch at my house. It was just above and beyond anything I would have expected. I can't thank everyone enough for everything that they did to contribute to my special day.
Kort and I
Typical attempt of the fish face of course she had to say something funny hence the mid attempt  Love this picture it just captures US!! Love you Kortney Walker

 The St. George Gang!! Kade, Jacki, Vay, Whit, Toree, Stef, Trum and Dally man we sure have had some fun memories. I loved how each of you made it an effort to come and support me it meant so much to me.
Love You Guys.

My first original roomies. Cam, Chels, and Linnea oh its crazy how each of our lives have gone different directions than what any of us would have expected. Of course it works out all how it should.
Sunday was quite the emotional day to say the least as it was one goodbye after another. Who ever came up with the saying " Goodbye is like ripping off a band-aid the quicker you do it the less it hurts." I might have to dis-agree because guess what it still hurts after everyone leaves. I know that I am doing the right thing, and I couldn't have done it with out the support from everyone. Here it goes this is the real deal less than a week to go!!
