This year the "mission" group met at Iggy's for dinner then headed to Becky and Roy's home for dessert and games. We do a gift exchange that can at times be heated but this year it wasn't too bad. Sorry LeAnn, that you got stuck with the "Skookie"! We try to get together almost every month and I truly look forward to seeing them. Love you girls!

The husbands are invited to a summer BBQ and Christmas party each year. We are missing Nikie's husband Steve in the picture. Sorry Steve! He left a bit early to take the babysitter home.Below Roy (Becky's husband), Cesar (Kim's husband), and Brad.
In the "roommate" group we get together for lunch to celebrate each of our birthdays. We also have a BBQ in the spring, Cinco de Mayo celebration, 4th of July (when Brad and I can make it without conflicting with family traditions), and the annual Halloween party. We have sooo much fun!
This year we had a delicious meal at Linda and Dan's home and our gift exchange game. We had a great time and LOVED our gifts!! Thanks guys!
It is true we all were roommates and one point but I originally met Linda in the MTC. We were in the combined Spanish class with both our districts, and she lived a floor (or 2) below me. Kim and I were companions on our mission and moved out together the first time with a 3rd roommate Allison. Then we moved to this really small but great house in the Cottonwood Heights area and Linda moved in with us. Then we when Allison moved out Katy moved in, then Melissa. Melissa was Linda's roommate a couple years prior at BYU. Was that a fun history lesson! I lived in that house for 3 yrs before getting married and we had 2 other roommates Stephanie and Annika during that time as well. (Linda feel free to correct me on my timeline or whatever!)
We had so many great adventures living together in that house. I was lucky to have such great roommates that I love dearly and still enjoy being around.
Thanks girls for all the great memories!
me, Kim, Just a side note... Kim is pregnant and due Feb 4 (i think?), Mel is also pregnant and due Mar 1st, and yes Linda is pregnant as well and due Mar 3rd (I may have switched Mel and Linda's due dates.. sorry ladies!) I missed the 4th of July party last year.. guess something was in the food!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

Love it! I'll bet every party is so much fun...
pretty sure I could be invited to either of these! Well maybe not - I was just in and out of these groups...
I am so glad that we do this, too! I look forward to all of our adventures! I love you Ang!
You are so lucky! Sounds like a lot of fun, and you'll all probably still be friends when you're old ladies.
I know what it means to have great friends. I love it when we have our roomate reunions and when I can see my friends from high school. Sounds like you had a blast!
Now that things have died down I have a chance to thank you for that beautiful CD! Please pass on how much I love it to your sweet friend. I've posted a "review" on my blog, so hopefully it will send a few more her way. It truely is something that warms the soul and brings the spirit! THANK YOU!
