Petersen Parties!

Yay Yay Sista Jay! This weekend was wonderful. On Friday, Jaylene came home from the Phillipines for Erica's wedding next week. She moved over there in May with her husband, who started up a Western Watts call center. We have all missed her very much. Becca and I went down to pick her up in Salt Lake. And as smart as we always are, we waited an hour in the wrong terminal. We had to sit next to two high school girls who were kissing and putting their hands where I just didn't want to see them.. The first thing Jaylene wanted to do was eat Mexican, so we all went out to lunch. She kept freaking out, seeing things like sidewalks and drinking fountains, and it made me realize how much I always take for granted!
Later that night, we all went to Becca's. I think I came from the mailman, after seeing her make this beautiful cake. Then my wonderful, good old friend Julie *Curtis* Lewis came over and gave me a much, much needed haircut. I have hated my haircuts since I was married and have been struggling with what to do. I cut it pretty short, but so far I really love it. Thank you genius Julie!
On Saturday, Erica went through the Logan Temple for her first time. I can't believe she is getting married next week. She is marrying a wonderful guy and we are really happy for her. It really took us awhile to get over it.... she's young and we're all protective older sisters, but we all know this was meant to be. Here are some pictures from dinner at Firehouse afterwards...
Erica and her Jake #2. At leastI have the original.
Me and my man. Can you see the haircut??
Here we are, the four old ones. I love my Petersen family and am so grateful and proud of all of them!!!

I LOVE your hair short! Babe-a-licious! How fun that you are all getting married. I hate being the only one in my fam. And I totally take for granted things like a toilet. I can't imagine not having one! :)

I bet it is nice to see Jaylene... tell her hi from me. I can't believe your other sister is getting married. How old is she now? I bet that was neat to have 4 siblings in the temple at once. Oh, and cute haircut...Julie did a good job. I haven't seen her since high school...a long time, if you see her tell her that I say hi. And 3 weeks?!?!?! How did you go 3 weeks without Jake? I bet you were a mess...I would have been. I'm complaining about 4 days and you went 3 weeks...crazy!

I still absolutely love your hair. And also, this Saturday is going to be SO much fun!
