We Have Vacancy & 43 Things To Do On Sunday

My cousin Rachel and her husband Buddy just moved into their new apartment at Wymount by BYU. They'd been living with us for several weeks until their contract opened up. So once again, the Johnson Hotel has vacancy. Let us know if you want to come stay with us! :)

Walt was out of town all week, so I had a girls night with Sarah, my sister-in-law where we made fajitas and played Scrabble. Then I had a girls night with Sarah and my cousin Katie at Katie's apartment where we made pizza and watched Penelope. Fun! Walt came back late Friday, and boy was I glad to see him!
