EFY

Moving right along on our trip to Utah...Brady and I spent a week at the University of Utah directing a session of EFY. We love doing this - it was our second year and a little less stressful this year since we knew what to expect. The kids were just as great this year as they were last year (in fact, we had two girls that were in our session last year and were there again this year! Hope they weren't disappointed!).

This year was extra fun because my niece Lyndsey, her friend Jen, and also her cousin Ann Marie and cousin's friend were all in our session. It was nice to have a familiar face (and such a cute face too!) with us at the U. Our favorite night is Wednesday night - PIZZA NIGHT! I had to take a picture of this because this was JUST the Little Caesar's order - it didn't include the Papa John's or THE PIE order. Brady and I saved ourselves for The Pie - our favorite, it was also a stop for us on our honeymoon so it always brings back good memories! :)

We discovered that there were four counselors at EFY with us with NIXON watches, so of course, we had to band (no pun intended!) together and take a NIXON watch picture. So fun!While at the U, our awesome friends and former high school teachers, Lori and Belinda came up for a visit. It was so nice of them to make the effort to come visit us. We haven't seen them for a long time and it was good to catch up. Here we are visiting over yummy Cafe Rio! Lori taught both of us Humanities and was Brady's Student Government advisor, Belinda was my cheerleading coach and Brady was an aide for her in the library. They are great!

That pile of pizza is the greatest!! Nathan has raved about the pie too, but so far I haven't had it!!--I'll have to hit him up to take me!! It was so great to see you guys & spend time with your family in Zions! Thanks for your help with Kaitlyn!! She's done so much better the last couple weeks--I switched her to a hypo-allergenic formula & it is really helping!! YEAH!!

Hey, I also wanted to tell you...I saw on Denise's blog that you want help with a header--I made hers & had SOO much fun!! I'd LOVE to help you with one!!! If you go on my blog there's a button for a website that gives away free blog backgrounds--if you want to go there & pick one that you like I can make you a header to match it. I could also just tell YOU how to do it too if you'd rather make it yourself!!! I've been having a lot of fun making headers lately & thought it'd be so fun to help other people!! If you haven't been to my blog it's http://nathanandadrianjohnsonfamily.blogspot.com/ Anyway, I'd love to help you!! Let me know! My email address is johnson.adrian1@gmail.com. If you want me to do one for you send me some pictures & any ideas of what you want!

I've been having such a great time reading about what your family's been up to this summer! I think blogging is a great way to keep in touch!

Love ya, Adrian

Ok so I had our Amazing cousin Adrian (nate's wife) help me. That day she had a blog about wanting to help anyone that wanted it. I just put my own wallpaper on, because thats about all I can do, emailed her the pictures I wanted,and it was done in a few hours!!! She is awesome!!! She loves helping anyone, it is her out. She said even if you want to do it yourself she will help you. Her link is in my buddy blogs. I am a total retard, I have spent hours trying to figure it all out and "NADA", I'm clueless. One day I will go over to her house and have her teach me.
