Happy Youth Conference!

I love the pictures from your Youth Conference Mom Dad and Dave. Everyone please scroll down if you haven't seen them! The above picture is from the Youth Conference Ian and I just went to for our stake (Westchester NY Stake). We worked with Habitat for Humanity all day and then went on a dinner/dance cruise around Manhattan! It was a great day, and this is a fun picture our good friend in the Stake Presidency took of us. And don't worry, I'm drinking cranberry juice:)

This is just a picture of our freshly rearranged room (I've had a break in between semesters so this is what I do). Notice the new wardrobe, and now we have his and hers dressing areas- each with our own closet and dresser. Oh and you saw the new headboard already. Yay!

Lastly, I was so honored to be the only Junior nursing student to receive and award at the Senior pinning (graduation) ceremony! I was completely surprised. Ian even showed up with flowers- he told me he had to work late, but showed up at school instead! It was really cool. It's called the Pat Kroah Memorial Award and it's for excellence in therapeutic communication in psychiatric nursing and for nursing leadership! Wow. My professor even said it was a unanimous decision amongst the faculty. Well I feel funny saying all this about myself so I'll stop...but it was really an honor!
Also this week (last week, whenever...) we went to Pinstripes in the Park for the 4th year running- impressive, huh! (and can you belive it's our 4th summer in NYC?!) They broadcast an away Yankee game on a huge screen in Bryant Park in midtown and we all come and sit on blankets and picnic while we watch the game. And they have raffles and old Yankee players come, it's a lot of fun:). Just a picture of us. I was even happier than I look, really. It was a happy night. We are blessed. And we love you, family!!
