Ode to the Provo house...

What I loved about the Provo house and our Provo experience in general...

The day we moved in
Trying to fit all of our clothes in that tiny house
Borrowing Elly's white long sleeve t-shirt
Eating grape nuts on the front porch
Eating peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches made with the snack master
Running to Albertson's with spoons in our sports bras so we could walk home eating ice cream
Old Glory and our other mullet lovin' neighbors
Creepy thin neighbor lady
Hearing about 9/11 from LeAnne
Riding our bikes to our friends to watch the news
Geof's mission buddies
Going dancing at the Omni, listening to Bootylicious before we left 
Sunday dinner with the Beechers
Ben and Ramsey
Ramsey's girlfriends cabin
Geoffery singing
The Halloween dance at UVSC
Leaving no candy for the trick-or-treaters but pretending we did
Andrew Rich
David Ashby
Dave and Andrew coaching us on Tetris
Movie naps
Our singles ward
Love couch
John Speth
Ward prayer at our house, about 100 people stuffed in our house eating really awful brownies we tried to make
Drinking hot chocolate on the couch
The sick turkey dinner we made
The picture walls
Neil dawgy
The heater blowing out cold air
Wearing a beanie to bed to stay warm
Sleeping anywhere but our own house to stay warm
Ben
Coby
The whole Jones family
4-wheeling in the school yard
Flipping mud in Coby's truck at Utah Lake
Trips to Moab
4-wheeling in Scoffield
Pool with the boys
The UVSC dance with Chelsea, Cassie and Lydia (we snuck her in)
That stupid duck sleeping in my bed
Donating plasma for money and almost passing out about 7 times
Ellynn's sense of direction
Working at Ony Oma's together
Mowing the lawn even though it was a "boys job"
Starting the broken lawn mower
Doing laundry while being scared of "two red eyes" because Geof's window didn't have curtains and we had just watched some scary movie
Driving Ben's truck
Ellynn saying, "Goodnight Princess" every night
Good times for sure.
I love you Geoffie and Elly.

Sorry the picture quality isn't great...they are pictures of pictures, we don't have a scanner.
Also, sorry that only Ellynn will understand most of these.  

Love Jess

I wish there was some way to show all these blogs to the new owner of 824 W 400 N Provo UT 84604. Just so that they understand why we will be driving slow past the house in years to come to show the Provo house to our posterity.
