Utah was a very unexpected trip. I wasn’t going to go until my husband convinced me that I would regret missing the opportunity to see my brother get sealed. I think that he was right because I had a great time and it was so nice to be in the temple with family. I flew in on Thursday Aug. 27th, my dad picked me up at the airport and whisked me to the zoo where the rest of the family was. I got to see my cousin again which is always exciting. I can’t stand being away from him for too long. We have SO much fun together. The twins always have the funniest things to say and I love hanging out with them. This time Jeremiah came up to me and asked me if I brought them anything. It was pretty funny cause I usually have something to give each of them. This time the only thing I had for all of them to share was zebra striped gum. Not too exciting I know! Hyrum is getting huge, every time I see him he is so much bigger than the last time. His hair is adorable, big blonde curly locks. So cute! After the zoo I got settled in my hotel room and then headed to the mall with Tyler, Andrew, Brenda, Destiny, and Abby.
Destiny’s birthday was the 28th (the same as Devin’s) so Brenda was taking her on a shopping spree and to get her nails done for the first time. She was SO cute at all the stores; she acted like she didn’t know what to do because this was so out of the ordinary for her. I found some stuff at forever 21 and Hollister. Abby was as cute as ever, she was so quiet the whole time just chilling in her little stroller and Brenda wanted to run into Hello Kitty to grab her something and I asked her if she thought maybe Abby would want to go in, she didn’t think Abby would care too much but I pushed the stroller in and Abby pretty much jumped out of the thing, she was SOOO excited to see Hello Kitty stuff everywhere. She had to pee the whole time too but I don’t think you could have gotten her out of there to go to the bathroom. Cutest little girl!
My dad called a little later with news about a dinner and everyone was invited, he was a little frantic cause it was in 30 minutes and in a different part of town. We hopped outside to the curb and waited for the ride. I saw my mom and Ken at the dinner, the food was good, I was VERY stressed out and made myself pretty sick but it went away after we left the restaurant. I hung out with Tyler that night, we went to the pool and hot tub to talk. It was so nice to just talk. The trip was a little much for me since I haven’t been around a lot of people in a while I was a little unsure of how to handle everything. There was so much going on all at one. Friday I asked for a muscle relaxer just to help me chill a little. I got a little bit more than I bargained for. I was a staggering idiot all day. I couldn’t barely stay standing. I looked ridiculous. The sealing was great, I thought Emi looked adorable when she walked in to the sealing room and Brandon was beaming. I’m sure this has been long awaited for the two of them. Afterwards there were a few pictures taken and I almost fell into the fountain a couple times and I almost drug in Emi’s little sister at one point too. I hung out with my mom and Ken until the barbeque at their hotel. The barbeque was very yummy, I don’t really remember too much, I think that is another thing the pill did is it gave me amnesia! Brandon went nuts with the kids, I do remember that. Oh and the CAKE, The cake was amazing, I could have eaten 10 slices if it wasn’t so filling.
I wanted to go to Cabela’s after so I could get Devin a birthday present and so I could find my long lost worm tool. It was a struggle to get there since I passed out in the room for a couple hours and then the fact that I didn’t have a car came into play but my dad was nice enough to let me borrow his. I found some good stuff at Cabela’s but no worm tool. We had some dinner at the hotel, Emi and Brandon came over to visit, I grabbed ice cream with Tyler, more visiting and then bed time. Saturday I had breakfast with Rachel and Mark. I couldn’t stop talking, thinking about it now, everyone was done eating and I still had food left cause I couldn’t shut up. Maybe its cause this was the last time I thought I would see them for a while I don’t know. We are going on a cruise at one point though so I do have that to look forward too. I packed my stuff when I got back and it didn’t fit so well so I had to open up the present Rachel gave me which was SO much fun, I loved everything in the box, especially the chocolate cheesecake and the silly string. We had some fun in the room with the silly string, it was EVERYWHERE. It made such a mess but it was fun. The twins got my dad with it at one point as well, that was pretty funny. It was time for me to get to the airport but we all couldn’t stop talking, it’s so fun to have family together. I barely made it to my flight, my dad had to help me out cause I was like a lost dog with a 100 lb bag (not really but seemed like it) he made sure I made it to security and then I was on my way back to the dreaded hotel room! I didn’t really want to come back to be honest. I had so much fun in Utah.
For Devin’s birthday he went out to a Japanese place with some of his classmates, he loved it so we went when I got back. It was really tasty, the show was short but I caught the shrimp in my mouth, I was afraid of missing and getting it all over my face.
