I feel like I've been gone more this year than I've been home. And now that I am an experienced blogger (Alison is sitting right here) I can blog it all!
In January Jerry and I went to Scottsdale Arizona for a conference. Thank you CBIZ. I got to go to the Mesa Temple and to Tuscon to see my niece Kristin and her cute family. In February we flew to Idaho Falls and then to Rexburg to the BYU Idaho Career Fair, and for recruiting interviews, again thank you CBIZ. I went to the new Rexburg Temple while Jerry was busy with the accounting students. We flew from there (5 degrees) to Hawaii (82 degrees) for the BYU Hawaii Career Fair and more interviews. I've decided I like the weather in Hawaii more than I do winter in Idaho...shocking I know. In March I went to Utah for my Spring Vacation. I played with Sara when she got home from school and visited my parents and brothers and sister. This month Jerry and I and another couple rode our motorcycles to Death Valley! Yes I'm a biker chick! But I'm on the back of a Honda Gold Wing - kind of like sitting in a recliner. Jerry and his buddies have gone there several times and he felt like I should see it! It was beautiful in a desert sort of way. I was surprised at how much color there was on the hills and mountains. Clear blue skies and amazing stars.The temperature was in the low 90's but they said by May 15 it would be 115. We stayed at a fun resort. (Open year 'round!) Lots of things to do for families. There's even a golf course at 215 feet below sea level. If you haven't been to Scotty's Castle you should look it up on the internet. It was a fun ride.

This month we went back to Hawaii - Jerry spoke to the Accounting students and taught in two classes. I went to the Laie Temple during that trip...I try and remember how lucky I am to go to this beautiful place so often.
And this past week we went to Disneyland (thank you so much CBIZ!) This is the second year they have payed for the tax people to go after tax season. Cory was ready for time with his family and a day off of work. Alison, Jesus and Patrick came too. Ben and Janae came to our hotel for pizza on Friday night and then had breakfast with us Saturday morning. Jerry had to work like he has the past few years. He says he is jinxed!

This week we go to Provo for Sara's graduation! Yea! I am so excited for her to have achieved such a great goal. I am so thankful she got to go to BYU - It has been a long challenging time, but I think she has loved most of what she has done there. And the fact that she made it to the end- well, I am a proud mother. She will be officially done in December when she finishes her internship at the St. George Hospital.
Sorry for the travel log - and now the pictures:

I think you HAVE been gone more than you've been home! Okay, so Im gonna pick one picture to comment on....my favorite is the biker-chick connie. I was picturing leather chaps with a little fringe though, but it still didn't disappoint.
Now that would be a sight! My mom in leather chaps. Mom arent you excited that you got to be home for two days and now we are leaving again tomorrow?
Hey Connie,
I read the whole thing. I remember when your "big" boys were the "little" boys. Wow, time goes so fast. My baby just turned 16 this month.
Amy
Can I hop in your suitcase next time you head to Hawaii??
You are a cute Biker Chick!!
I know I am way behind but I read the whole thing and loved it. I am so glad that you blog - tell my mom to join the blogging world. Thanks for taking dinner to her a few weeks ago. I am so glad there are good people around - I wish I could spend more time in Bakersfield. Cute photos!!
You owe me $5
