Friday night Forts!

"...become as a little child or you can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God."  -3Nephi 11:38

Sometimes taking scriptures too literally is the best thing for you!

*Friday night Forts will become a tradition in the home of the Udells as we raise our children! We'll be cool parents. ;) ha ha!

How much I miss this girl...

I wanted to post a little blog about one amazing girl! That would be...LINDSAY!
For those of you who don't know Lindsay I used to work with her. However she's more than just an old co worker she's like a sister to me (one day that will become permanent...hopefully). Today I was reminicing about the good ol' days as I was wishing I could hear her laugh down the hallway, eating Cafe Rio together at work, and telling stories about lifes valuable lessons. She helped me overcome personal struggles by just being Lindsay! She never had to say much I just knew she'd always listen. One of those people who is equally as beautiful inside and out! Today I got a phone call from Lindsay and it made my day! I can't wait to see her in August! Love ya Linds!

BoStOn Adventure

Well as some of you know for my birthday Quynn bought him and I plane tickets to Boston to visit Stephanie! Lucky for him we got to go over his birthday and celebrate his special day while in Boston, killing two birds with one EXTREMELY FUN STONE! *Shout out to Valerie Larson who made this trip possible by giving us buddy passes! Totally love her! Thank you! and another Shout out to Stephanie for putting up with our very touristy agenda and for letting us stay with her!* Now that I've got those shout outs I will be posting REAL pictures of me and Quynn in Boston...at a later time when I get those from Steph but for now I'll post google pictures of our adventure.
It started off with a drive....to LAS VEGAS!


We left Wednesday right after work and arrived in Vegas around 11:30pm. where we met up with my fabulous best friend Lindsay Ward who let us stay with her in her hotel at the Aria. UM SUPER GORGEOUS!!! We were totally spoiled and I got to see Lindsay! LOVE YOU Linds!
Once we woke up we got to visit with Gma and Gpa Udell and Rachel. It was too short of a visit but it was still nice! and BIG shout out to them for their idea of taking the public bus...except for the thought that we wouldn't be able to get home using the bus since our flight got in later...that's another story that I'll get to shortly.
Then we flew from Vegas to Boston with Jet Blue. LOVE JET BLUE! In my opinion it's the only way to fly!

The celebration of Quynn's birthday Steph and I had so many secret plans to make his day super special, not even taking into consideration the weather...IT RAINED! :( So onto plan B which I think was just as fun as we strolled the streets of downtown Boston, Quincy market, paid outrageous amounts of money for parking, and then onto the wee hours of the night. Which was my favorite part as we entered into some of my routes of heritage at the RiRa an Irish pub in Providence. It was one memorable night as we played in the rain ate yummy food and danced the night away as a local band played.

Too bad we don't have fresh markets like this in Utah! This was so fun to hear everyone barter for fresh produce.

Best Corned Beef Sandwich EVER!

Well that's all for now. I'm finding that some of the pictures we took on Saturday are far better than the ones on the internet. Because then you'll actually believe we went to Boston and that I didn't make this all up in a dream. Bye for now!
