Weekend in Utah!

So, Trevor and I spent last weekend in Utah. Yes, I realize we were just there a couple of weeks before. This was awesome though because it was for my ten year high school reunion, and we didn't have the girls with us!!! I have the best friend up here, Sara, that offered to take our girls for the weekend. It was so strange not to have them with us, but it was also very relaxing. Anyway, we flew into Utah on Thursday night and headed to Cache Valley. We spent Friday with Frank and Laura, golfing and tracking down new contact lenses for Laura :) It was so much fun to see Laura again and to finally meet Frank. I've been hearing about Frank for at least seven years, but this is the first time I have met him, and I must say, he is awesome! Nice choice Laura!!! On Friday night, Trevor and I went out to dinner with my family. We had a blast! I love being with my family. We always laugh a lot and joke a lot.

Saturday was pretty low key for the most part. Trevor went golfing in the morning while I slept in. (it felt soooooo nice) We then met his parents for lunch and had a great time visiting with them. That night it was off to the reunion. It was so much fun to see so many people I hadn't seen in such a long time. We had a great time laughing and reminiscing. Trevor, Frank and my brother Dave were very good sports and sat around talking to each other while us girls wandered around talking to everyone we knew. We ended up being the last ones to leave!!! I think we over stayed our welcome just a little bit! I wish I had some pictures, but I left my camera at my mom's house.

The weekend was so much fun, but it was nice to get home to our girls. They were definitely missing us and we were missing them. It's always fun to get away, but it's even nicer to get home because as Dorothy says, "There's no place like home!"

Our Trip to Utah!!!

Hello everyone!!! It's been a while since I posted and I realized I didn't post about our trip to Utah for Heidi's (my sister-in-law) wedding. Well, we left Seattle on Friday the 16th at about noon and ten hours later and a lot of potty stops (many of them false alarms) later, we arrived in Boise where we spent the night in a hotel. We got up the next morning and drove the remaining 4 1/2 hours to Logan. The girls did a great job on the drive, especially for how long it is. We had a great time in Utah spending time with our families. We definitely kept busy with all of our playing and visiting. We had a wonderful time at the wedding. Everything went really well and Heidi looked beautiful!!! The trip went way too quickly and before we knew it, it was time to leave again. We only went about five hours on Sunday so we could stay in the hotel and swim in the pool. The girls were very excited about that! On memorial day, we drove the rest of the way home. After spending a week away from home, we were all excited to get back home to our own stuff and especially our own beds! Here are a few pics of us at the wedding.
