Memphis/Mississippi Misc.

Awards Banquet
The evening before graduation we attended an awards banquet with Eric's parents.

Graduation Dinner

After graduation we were famished, so we headed over to Memphis Barbecue Co. with the Lambert family. (you can't go to the south and not eat bbq)

Tennis

After soccer- Eric decided he needed to "play" some more so we met up with our friend, Justin, at the tennis courts.

Brent and I were originally there to watch but Brent decided he had to challenge Eric to a match. I refused to play- I was sweaty and hot just sitting in the shade. I forgot how hot and humid Mississippi can be.

Southaven Ward Hoedown Party
When I told Kinsley we would be going to Mississippi she said, "Mom, my friends are going to be really, really sad that you didn't bring me." Sure enough, everyone at the ward party was disappointed that she wasn't there and asked why we didn't bring her. She was especially missed by her best friends Jerry and Joseph.

Sister Marjorie Hinckley

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
