Each time we scrap we take a group photo, well, several actually. Then we all print them up and keep them close to remember our friendships. Then we take a bunch of individuals too. It is a fun tradition.

One of the best parts is that we try to stay in the same condo, room c302, each time because we love the layout. Well, this is the 3rd time we have left a framed 5x7 picture in this families condo. They are still there. We just love this particular room, and the family must not mind our pictures.

Funny story...the bother-in-law of one of us stayed in these condos over the winter, and called to say that he was looking at a picture of her and a bunch of friends!!! Hilarious!

Thanks ladies for a great weekend!!!!! Love all you Sassy gals!

Sassy

I love being a Sassy Scrappin' Sister. My girlfriends and I go to Park City each spring and fall to scrap, and chat, and hot-tub, and eat junk, and stay up late cuz' we can sleep in (NO KIDS). I have less than 24 hours until I am up at "retreat"!

Sassy's, you know I love you. You have all been there for me the last few months of tears and hell. I am so thankful that you were brought into my life. You each bring something with you, that is just part of who you are, that makes me be a better "me". Love Ya

Texas

Maybe not many of you know that I was born in Texas. Well, I was. Our family moved when I was like, 4 or 5 years old. I have now been there 2 times in 2 years. It is beautiful, at least Houston is. Two years ago we had time to go to Galveston and see the Gulf of Mexico.
My two siblings were also born in Texas.

In some weird twist of fate, they are both living in Texas. David and his family are stationed in El Paso. Julie just got married last week, and is now living in Houston.

I have no desire to live in Texas. I would love to come visit, but there are no urgings to "find my roots"!

Conference

So, I saw very little of conference, but I did see the whole Sunday Morning session, and heard a fabulous quote. President Monson said in the Priesthood Session, just the night before "God will shape our back to fit the load we must carry." Ok, maybe that is not an exact quote, but pretty close. It gave me something to think about???

Working!

I have now had 2 days at my new job, and it was great!!! They are a busy place, and I was just thrown in. "Hey Laura, that is your phone ringing!" Ummm, ok "Family Tree Assisted Living, How may I help you?" NO training, just: answer the phone! There are some really nice residents, and some I have been warned about, like one man that you should NEVER hug!! And the lady who locks each individual item of dirty clothing into separate Ziploc bags. No joke!!

I was so busy Wednesday that we didn't get much done, so I went in Thursday too, and got some more training, and actually got the Easter decorations up!

I think I am really going to enjoy this!
