Memorial Day 2009

The above picture is from Memorial Day 2008...and I'm walking in the Annual Fun Run for the City of Falls Church. The picture below is me walking from Memorial Day 2009...and once again I'm walking in the Annual Fun Run for the City of Falls Church. Above my friend is pregnant...below she has beautiful baby girl in the stroller.
The above picture is the free T-shirt we got last year (2008) and the below picture is the free T-shirt from this year (2009). I'm not sure why I wanted to include last years' pictures in with this post...it just seemed cool.When we planned our vacation for Memorial Day weekend, we forgot that the city of Falls Church did so many fun activities for their Memorial Day. It was also nice to participate in these activities because we ran into friends and were able to talk and catch up on their lives.
My husband has always had a following of little girls. I think it's because he'll play with them until he gets too tired.
I miss all my friends in Virginia...so that's why I had to keep taking pictures of me with them. I love creating memories and photos help me remember those memories.
Here's my friend and her two cute daughter, who walked with me the last two years. This is also a former missionary from my same mission. We were never companions but we had a lot of the same companions. It's fun to compare notes from that time in our lives.
And here are some more friends. One was my visiting teaching companion and the other is a former home teachee of my husband. When his partner was unable to go home teaching with him, I'd be his partner and we'd have a great visit.

Heather, thanks for sharing the pictures. I have really been missing Fall Church. UT just doesn't compare. I've been homesick for VA lately. So thank you.

You are so lucky to have done that and to have gotten your husband to do that with you. I don't think mine would have done it. Poor guy gets sore feet and knees. :(
