LIFE: Weekend 1 at Mayo

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

I was so grateful to get a chance to drive down to Madison, WI this weekend to visit some good friends, the Spackmans. :)

Hugh and Kristi went to BYU when I did and now they're living up here. They have a beautiful family: 2 small boys and a daughter on the way.

We didn't do much--just visited and hung out, but I enjoyed it.

It was a nice visit.
