San Francisco

Our nephew Landon was born about three weeks ago. He is the first grandchild on the Hightower side of the family and we are all so happy that he has finally arrived! So happy, in fact, that we decided to drop everything and go visit him and the new parents, Brandon and Laura. David and I both had business trips last week so we've been all over the country in the last few days. David went to Denver to help with a presentation about his job at BYU. I went to Atlanta for a conference for work. So when we decided to go to San Francisco we planned to leave as soon as I got back from Atlanta. I had enough time to go home and switch out my suitcase and we drove all night. Props to my wonderful husband for taking on the bulk of the driving, he was amazing! Is amazing!

So we got to their house on Friday morning and spent the weekend snuggling that cute baby boy. Holly came with us too so we took her to see some of the touristy stuff. We went shopping, got yummy crepes for lunch one day, went to Pier 39 to see the sea lions and we did end up going to Safeway again for lunch! We went there last time and got a panini and a pizza and they were so good that we had to go back again. We got to go to church with Brandon on Sunday and I found out that two guys from my freshman ward at BYU were in their ward. It's a small world in the church. On Sunday we also went on the roof of the apartment to watch a flight show. They had all these stunt planes flying over the bay. It was pretty cool. San Francisco is really a cool city and we love to go visit there. Thanks to Brandon and Laura for letting us stay with them and keeping us very well fed. It was such a fun trip and we can't wait to go visit again!

Best Year Ever, and Only Getting Better!

David and I recently celebrated our first year of marriage.  I don't even know where to start when it comes to him!  I am truly blessed to have such a great husband.  Our first year has been wonderful, the more time I spend with him the more in love I fall.  He makes me laugh everyday.  I love how excited he is to see me when I come home from work.  I love that he needs hugs from me constantly.  I love that he always remembers to have family prayer and scripture study every night.  He is a very humble person, and the greatest friend that I could ever have.  Not a day goes by that I'm not amazed by how blessed I am that he and I ended up together for eternity. 

Our anniversary happened in the middle of family visits and graduation celebrations but we were able to squeeze in a very fun date.  We went to dinner in Salt Lake City at P.F. Changs

I chose P.F. Chang's because this is where David took me on our second date.

This guy is the love of my life!  Love those sweet blue eyes!

After dinner David took me to the Josh Groban concert!  It was so good!  David was really sweet to get those tickets for us!  We had a great time!

This first year was fantastic and I can't wait to see what comes for us in year two!! It's gonna be good!

College Graduate

August was an exciting and busy month at the Fairall Home.

After years of hard work and homework David got to wear the coveted cap and gown.

We had some great supporters come for the big day!

I, of course, couldn't have been more proud!  Love  you honey! XOXO

And David....well, he was pretty excited too!

Way to Go David!!  I love you so much!!
