Spokane... the city of Penguins! go chiefs go!



First things first!  I brought in the new year with a spur of the moment trip to Spokane Washington to see my BFF Jonnie Larson!  On my flight was Elder Dipo!  He is an elder that served in the Sacramento mission and was returning home!  My trip was short and sweet and filled with laughter and smiles!  Oh yeah..... it was freezing!  I looked up at the temperature gage in the car expecting to see a number and instead it said "Ice"  Now that is not normal!!! We went shopping, visited Elder Dipo....  Carson is his name now, took a ride in the back of a pick up truck, built a fire, watched mobsters and mormons, hung out with the family and the highlight of the trip was going to a hockey game! I have always wanted to see a real hockey game!  "Go Chiefs Go"!  So Jonnie and I went to a chiefs game!  It was amazing and brutal!  It was sad to say good bye but everything comes to an end.  When I was at the Spokane airport I didn't quite make it through security.  Apparently I had forgotten to take the bullets out of my purse.  I hate when that happens!
Elder Dipster!


                                     Spokane temple!  We were going to go but then decided
                                      to go to the hockey game instead...... is that bad?


                                      Jonnies mom built this amazing wood burning fire and 
                                     kept it going until we got home!  It was so warm!


                                            Jonnies favorite store!  It really is amazing!


                                                See what I mean!!!  Not Normal!!



                                                       Jonnie and Duke the coolest dog ever!



                                                Me and Jonnie at the Chiefs game!
