The Arizona Open House


Some friends from our singles ward. The guy in the blue, Jason, was our mutual friend before Tyson and I met. It's because of him that Tyson approached the table I was sitting at one day at lunch and then got my number, and then asked me out, and then ......oh this story will continue forever....Thanks Jason!
My sassy sista Brooke! We were so glad to have her there!


Christie is a doll! She came to our AZ open house even though she had a jam packed night of school/ choir duties! We love you so much!
