July and August has been filled with visiting long time friends! 3 of my really good friends just returned from missions(all in a matter of 3 week period) 2 of them were my roommates in college and the 3rd one was the brother of one my roommates.......who we practically adopted as our roommate.

Jaime, Sister Prater (Megan), Kenzi

Elder F. Ryan Prater, we love you! (side note: Ryan told me in college that if becomes an apostle he wants to be called by this name....so now it's been a running joke with us!)

Sister Doutre (Dani), and Evelyn. Thanks for coming to visit me Dani!

I haven't seen my cousin Esther for 4 years so this was a much needed visit. We have become really close since she lived with me during both our junior year in high school. She is now pregnant with her 3rd child and looking good!

Bryan's mission president, President and Sister Gingery, just returned home from Jamaica in July. They are amazing people and it was so fun to see them especially since I have never met them before. Thanks for coming Gingerys!
