Home Sweet Home of Arkansas

I'm really starting to feel very connected to North West Arkansas.  I've received many more important projects at Walmart this week, and I was able to play with many of the awesome people here.  It really doesn't matter where you are at in the world, life is good when we build relationships with others.

Sunday Dinner: I visit teach a sister who's husband is in the bishopric -- they're names are the Gregsons.  This couple is so funny and awesome!  They invited us as well as those that they visit and home teach over for dinner.  We had a night filled with lots of laughs and jokes, as well as spiritual upliftment.  Brother Gregson told me that I was the most unique lady that he'd ever met...

Sister Gregson, Tessa, Kaiti, and Brother Gregson

Can't remember her name, but she can open her mouth very wide

The elders and some kids from the ward

Delicious enchiladas and spanish rice for dinner.

Mom's Cheerleader -- Someone else in the Walmart Parking lot thinks that Grandma Hiatt is #1 as well!  You have fans all over the country, Mom!

Random Funny: Someone tried to be smart... I guess you need to choose one side or the other :)

Red Stadium -- While Kristina and I were returning from Institute, we noticed that the stadium was completely red!  

Giving Blood -- I voluteered to give blood at work this week.  It was super slow!!! At first, I was not allowed since my heart rate was too low (45 beats/min), so after jumping up and down, I was able to get it up to 58.  Needles are so scary!

Crystal Bridges Trails -- Kristina and I went to check out the trails around Crystal Bridges friday after work.  It was so fun!  They had different pieces of art around, some of course being more impressive than others.

A metal framed bench filled with rocks... super uncomfortable

Super cute... Very famous as well

Beautiful landscaping

The "Crystals" behind Crystal Bridges.  Many were found in this area

Devils Den -- Saturday Morning, Kristina, Kaiti, and I (another boy was there for part of the time but only made it 1/3 mile before we had to bring him back) went hiking at Devils Den State Park.  It was full of Beautiful views and great rock structures.  We were worn out by the end!

You'd love the layered rock, T.C.!

It's so beautiful and green here!!!

Andy's -- I have been waiting for the moment to go to Andy's all week.  I have built it up in my mind that it would be as awesome as the what the natives say.  I was no disappointing.  I had the best caramel pecan custard I've ever had.  It was amazing!!!  

It was a good week, and its crazy that we only have 4 more! I gave a talk on pioneers today, and I'm so grateful for the pioneers in our lives.  I love how we can help others be pioneers by opening our mouths and by doing our part in the rescue.  Have an awesome week!
