Ryan's 40!!!

Turning 40 was pretty exciting for me!  It's tough to face the fact that I was turning 40, but I honestly feel like I'm still 15. It's hard sometimes when I'm in a meeting at work to pretend that I'm an adult.  It's much easier just to play around.  Christy and the girls got me up early with a donut and some presents and cards, and then I looked out the window, and Christy and Michael Francom had rented a sign that was displayed in our front yard all day... thanks guys... By the end of the day, I was ready for my Mom's 40th birthday gift, a beautiful hammock! Now we're talking!

Party at the Lindsey's in AZ!

Christy and I decided on the spur of the moment, "why don't we go visit Alan and Cristi in Arizona?" And off we went!  They lived at the time near Phoenix and by the time we arrived at about 9 am, it was about a million degrees outside.  Coming from the frozen tundra of Idaho, I immediately melted. I got to meet Ryan, Alan and Cristi's youngest boy, for the first time.  I like to think he was named after me, and that might be partially true, but it's also just an awesome name. Right? We spent lots of time exploring outside in the desert, because who doesn't like going outside when your chance of dying from dehydration is 100%? By the time things cooled down to 120 degrees at night, we spent some time at the temple. Great trip!!
