Horseshoe lake with Mike & Vic

September 22 - 27 (Mike & Victoria visit to Memphis... and a little bit Arkansas)

Oh these guys. What a great couple a kids. They really know how to party






















The lake house was really cool. We learned how to play shuffle board and had many a tournament. I think Mike was maybe the overall winner.


And here is the ever so temperamental pinball machine. It would only work sometimes and we would all get excited but it only gave us a couple games and then turn off. I think it playing hard-to-get just made it that much more intriguing.


I don't have any pictures of us back in Memphis. But we basically just watched lots of YouTube and Hulu on the big screen - sharing all our favorite clips. And we watched a few real movies too. We ate lots of candy and desserts as I recall. We showed them some Memphis sights and they were good enough to go on a tour of Joey's favorite grocery store Aldi. I like how Mike and Victoria were both my friends and now we get to be family. How lucky is that? Also, they learned a lot about Memphis. Not from us, from their smart phones. They were quizzing us most of the time. So, if you want to know anything about Memphis - you should probably ask those dudes.

My favorite pic, maybe, is the one where Lucy is trying to climb off the side of the boat and you (Katie) are cheerfully and nonchalantly holding onto one of her straps. (I also have a video of you dangling her over the edge, Michael Jackson style. hee, hee. I'm keeping it for the next time I need to blackmail you.) Thanks for the fun Memphis and Arkansas times.

So much fun. Memphis is a really pretty place, and your ward is awesome. We loved hanging out with you guys, as we always do. Next stop Australia or Warsaw, your choice.

I love how adventurous you guys are. It motivates me to get out more. I can't believe how big your kids are getting. We definitely need to get together next time you guys come back to the Zion Curtain, aka Utah.

Oops, that was me unfortunately signed into Lisa's account.

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
