A Day in San Francisco with Henry

On Friday, May 16 Hen I drove from our Hotel in Santa Cruz to San Francisco. We took the Ferry over to Alcatraz for an interesting tour then headed back to the mainland. We had great clam chowder at our favorite the Franciscan, headed over to Boudin's for some sourdough bread to take back with us, and ended our day with some ice cream from Ghirardeli square. It was fun to do a lot of people watching while we were there as well. And driving out of the city in commuter traffic was quite the experience. We drove back to Santa Cruz that night to stay in our hotel before heading to the airport on Saturday for our flight home. 

Seeing Family

After visiting Tiana in Folsom we headed to Sacramento to have lunch with his sister Jenna (at this fund Crepe place in downtown Sacramento), and then later dinner with his brother Ryan. It was so good to see them and catch up!

Visiting friends

On Wednesday Henry and I were able to drive from San Jose to Folsom, CA to visit my old college buddy Tiana Clements, her husband Scott, and her cute twin boys Cade and Russell. They were a hoot!  Hen and I got to watch the boys for a little bit while Tiana went to the store. Here they are burying Henry in couch cushions!

San Jose Netsuite Conference with Mom

On May 10th, my mom and I flew to San Jose, CA for my Netsuite conference. My mom was able to stay with me until Tuesday where she could relax at the Fairmont hotel over Mother's Day Weekend. It was fun having her there while I attended the conference during the day. On Tuesday, Henry flew out to join me until we left on Saturday.

This table was right outside the Fairmont Hotel.

This was one of the quotes I liked from the table.

There was a fabulous bakery next to the hotel and these chocolate mousse cups were to die for!

Young Womanhood Award

As Personal Progress Advisor I completed the requirements as a leader to earn my Personal Progress Award. It took 2 1/2 years to complete but I am so glad that I did it! I learned so much and strengthened my testimony in the progress. It was really great the day it was announced in sacrament meeting because three laurels received their awards the same day I did. I was so proud of them for setting goals and accomplishing them. The last time I received this award was back in high school. The requirements were different back then and dare I say easier? There was only one 10 hour project back then and now there are 9 ten hour projects with one of them being to read the book of mormon in it entirety. I was also able to keep track of all my progress online as opposed to just in the book which made things way easier and helpful.
