CornCobs and Cowboys

We had a little bit of Husker Fever on our hands last week.

The Frum's gave Nebraska a short but sweet visit, and it was well worth the 28 hour round trip...

Daddy Bond took Joseph Frum and the Mrs. out for a little country fishing. Of course Rachel caught the most fish :) (Ok Joe and I tied) This was one of the most exciting parts of our visit, and really brought me back to my Nebraska roots. Fishing with Dad! Of course I could never catch a monster like this one again...

 then and now...

We did get to surprise the little brother. Although he was in school for the most part of our visit we had a little Settlers of Catan competivness going on around the kitchen table in the evenings. Owen and I also took Joe to Syracuse, NE for his first Dairy Chef experience. Let's just say...since we've been back in Utah we have had to lay off the food. Boy was it good :)

We also gave Owen's eyebrow's a little attention ;) Here is a before and after:

 WHAT A STUD! :)

Another great surprise of our trip was my Best Friend Amanda who is recently ENGAGED drove 6 hours from Arkansas to see us :) I got to see her in her gorgeous wedding dress, and had fun being our extra talkative wonderfully goofy selves. I hadnt seen her in 2 years!! Such fun memories!

Mama Bond also came to see "THE" dress. I was having flashbacks of the all the wild fun we had with our Mama's Bond and Worm :)

Seeing my dear Grandpa and Grandma Bond was also a highlight. They literally had NO idea we were coming.

It was a sweet surprise and the hugs and stories were extra good that general conference Sunday.

It was so good to see Grandma doing so much better than the last time we were out for a visit.

Seeing my dear family and remembering my roots and where I came from...then reflecting on who I am today because of all the wonderful shaping experiences life has thrown at me has made me truly grateful for these special people in my life.
One of my favorite quotes is, "Families are like fudge...mostly sweet with a few nuts" :)

 Embrace where you came FRUM and life will be much sweeter!
