My brother made chicken strips for breakfast, then I dropped him off on campus. We both mentioned how we felt like the married couples, except we weren't going to kiss each other before he got out of the car.

I headed north and stopped to see one of my old roommates, Melissa. I got to meet her very cute, very healthy looking baby girl. So fun! Her stair obliged to hold my camera so we could get a picture.

Then I headed northeast, to a tiny town in a canyon in Utah to see my friend Kristen, who I hadn't seen since Melissa's wedding reception, four and a half years ago. She's way out there, but in a beautiful location and a home that has a cool history and a lot of character. I was able to meet her children too, who were adorable.

I chatted, looked at pictures, and I played Candyland with her two oldest. It was quite fun. Have you played that game lately? So simple yet so entertaining! Here are Kristen's three.

As I was leaving, there was a cattle drive, right down the middle of the street. I had to snap a picture. How awesome! The big tower in the background is a cement plant. Ever wonder where those big cement trucks that turn get their cement? I'll admit, it was something I had pondered on occasion. Now I know.

My next stop was Kuna, ID, a little town just south of Boise. I got to my old roommate Raelynn's house just in time for bath time and got to join in for a story, scripture, and prayer with her cute kids. Raelynn and I stayed up talking and it was so good to see here and get caught up. Melissa's reception was the last time I had seen her as well.
