Here's to a Splendid Six

From Crowell Post

Six years? No, this happened yesterday! Corey has never failed to make me smile and laugh in our marriage. We celebrated big by helping at a stake service activity! :) One sister--to whom Corey and I look up to--offered us a couple of extra bottles of water. As she was doing so, she said she'd wished we could have met her "Pete" who passed away within this last year. She said she loved his dry humor and that he was fun to be around, but even more so, he was quite the gentleman. As we walked away, I felt so empty when I thought about what my life would be like without Corey! He always makes me laugh, is always a gentleman, and always makes me want to be a better person. Here's to a truly, splendid six.

At the Beach

From Crowell Post

How we love the beach in Cadiz! Elsie definitely took her time walking towards the water and was certainly skeptical at first. Once she dipped her toes in the water a few times and discovered how to make sand castles with her beach bucket, she was a happy girl. The sandy toes weren't quite her fancy, so washing them off in the water felt nice. She must have stared at the waves for a few minutes or so continually saying, "Wa-wa, wa-wa." When we returned to our friends' home, they asked her what she did that day and of course she answered with, "Wa-wa."
How can anyone forget a day at the beach in Cadiz.

A Visit to Cadiz

From Crowell Post

It was so nice to visit Cadiz and enjoy it all together. Elsie was her normal self and enjoyed talking to every dog we passed on the streets. She would crouch down and bob her little head back and forth telling each dog about how her walk was going. Each dog's owner was so friendly and kind to Elsie. It seems like every Gaditano (person from Cadiz) we meet is friendly. How we love Cadiz! The people smile, the sun shines, and the food is delicious. Cadiz, Cadiz....

I Often Go Walking

From Crowell Post

Elsie just LOVES to go for walks. She simply can't leave without her stroller, i.e., pram, push-chair, buggy, etc. Both baby dolls (at least one for sure) accompany her, if not her doggie. Of course we can't leave out the purse.
