Why I love being a NoDak....

Top 10 reasons my trip to North Dakota was Awesome:

10. I learned I could fit this much stuff in my trunk.

9. Caramel rolls for breakfast almost every morning.
Yes, yes... delish.

8. I'm always reminded of just how fabulous my little town of Tuttle is. There's no other place like it in the world. Welcome to the town grocery store:

7. Just look at that beautiful sunset.

6. I got to spend many hours driving with Serena to get there.
She's just so great. :)

5. That's where most of my extended family lives.
(My Aunts Donna and Jo and my cousins Lacey and Josh helped watch the kids while we were in the temple. And my Grandma Gietzen is just as sweet as can be.)

4. Spending time with Papa and Nana (aka my parents)

3. Getting to be with my parents and all my sisters and their whole families for a couple of days. Super awesome.

2. Being reminded how lucky I am to have 2 sweet adorable kids and 1 hubba-bubba smokin' hottie of a husband... ;)

1. Getting to be in the temple with Jason and the rest of my family as we did the temple work for my dear Grandma Riskedahl and all her siblings and their spouses. And to top it all off, I was there as I watched my father be sealed to his parents.
What a special day it was.... We did all that temple work as a family, my nephew Braden got baptized, my nephew Andrew (named after my late brother) was blessed and it was my mom's 57th birthday. She called it her best birthday EVER!

July 31, 2010 will be a hard day to top!
