A few weeks ago we had a Jensen, Decker and Cook block party at our house. It was so fun to see all three of our families together. Brother and Sister Jensen just returned from Indonesia where they served a mission and Brother Jensen was called to be the Mission President. I love the Jensen’s and Decker’s I am so lucky that I got to grow up next to them. They are the BEST!
We got back last night from Lake Powell and we had a blast! It was fun to spend time with my family in such a beautiful place. We did lots of tubing, wakeboarding, eating and laughing. I love that place and I am so glad we got to go this year. 
Over the 4th of July weekend we went to Desert Ridge in Scottsdale for a few days and shopped, ate and hung out at the pool. We watched the fireworks at Tempe Town Lakes, they were great.
Welcome home brothers! My two younger brothers that are twins came home! I got to see Sean in Harrisburg at his missionary farewell fireside. He looked Awesome and was so happy and full of the spirit. I had to wait until I came home to see the other twin, and he looked just as good. I love my family, they are the best. My brothers did not know anything that was going on with Justin and I. My parents didn’t want them to have to worry about us for the last few weeks of their missions. So, I told them right after they got released and they were so sad and shocked. They cried so hard when I told them. They love Justin and were really close to him. It is so sad. They have been so sweet to me, and when I came home from Maryland they were at the airport with signs and each of them were holding a bouquet of flowers for me. They are the best brothers.
This was the Monday night before I left Maryland. A few of my friends came to Bill Bateman’s to say good bye. It was so sad to leave so many fun people that I have got to know over the last year. I miss all of them so much. I love all of you girls, thanks for your love and support. You girls are the best!

Oh my gosh... I cannot believe how grown up your brothers are! I know that we are suppose to grow up, but it always blows me away when I see younger brothers and sisters growing up too!! And the Lake Powell pictures, well can I just say that those bring back some memories! You really do have a wondeful family and exended family with the Deckers and Jensens! Sounds like you have a lot of love surrounding you- and you deserve it!
Your pictures make me miss my family. Looks like so much fun and it's always exciting to have missionaries come home. I love your short straight hair. You look beautiful!
Steph, It looks like you have had such a fun couple of weeks with your family! I will admit I got a little teary eyed when I read about your brothers meeting you at the airport with the flowers. They are so sweet. Your family is the best!

What fun pictures!! It looks like you've been busy with lots of family and friends lately. Sometime soon you should busy yourself on up to Utah so the rest of us can enjoy your company.
Wow Steph..you look so fabulous!! It's good to hear things are going a little better. I cant wait to come see you. So fun to be with your family. I am with mine right now!!
Steph-Love the pictures! You have had an eventful few weeks. I wish I could have seen you yesterday at lunch but I got stuck at work. Looks like we will have to do it again here in the near future. You are such an amazing person and I hate that you have to go through the things that have been dealt to you, but atleast you have a good support system. When things get rough I find it best to step back and think that this is just a small peice in the whole realm of eternity. There is so much ahead. It's definitely not something you signed up for or ever thought would happen to you, but there is a reason it all happened. I look up to you a lot and have been thinking and praying for you. Keep smiling!
Oh Steph, it's just not the same here without you. Miss you! love a
