Wow it has been a long time since I blogged! It has been a busy busy Summer....probably one of my busiest yet! Back in July I was able to fly up to Utah for a few days to throw Lauren a bridal shower. I was so excited to go to Utah because it has been years since I have been there. Matt and I left in 2007 and we went back in 2010 but didn't go to Provo so I was so excited to hang out in my old stomping grounds and eat at my favorite places! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I flew in on Pioneer day so everyone was off of work and we were going to have a get together at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Lauren also flew in that same day so she waited for me for like 5 hours!! When I landed I was able to see Amy, Tim, and the girls for a few minutes before they flew to VA to live! It was good to see them. Grandpa picked us up and took us to a great Thai place for lunch then it was off to beautiful Midway. Kyra, Nicki, and Casey met us later. I love Midway, so gorgeous. Grandma and Grandpa made us a yummy steak dinner and Lauren and I spent the night. The next day we went to the Train for lunch and it was crazy busy as usual! Then it was off to Provo for us. I love Provo and I miss it all the time but being there and realizing I have been gone for so long and therefore it is not the same made me kind of sad and ready to leave once Saturday came! Oh the glory days....gone forever haha. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So anyways the rest of the week consisted of hanging out with my sisters, loving on Twitch (kyras cat), and eating out!! I was able to go to Sensuous Sandwich (where I ran into two of matts cousins!), Shirley's bakery (the best orange rolls), JDawgs, and of course I already mentioned the Train aka Dairy Keen. I also spent some time on BYU's campus, which is so different! They tore down the building where I used to have my social work classes!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saturday was Lauren's shower and it was great! We had it at Rock Canyon Park (where Matt and I had our first kiss ;) ) We had pink lemonade, parfaits, muffins, and candy. We played the toilet paper dress game, He said She said, and Who Knows Lauren Best (I came in 2nd....the winner was this 9 year old girl from her mission...no idea how she won). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saturday afternoon I flew home and was sad to leave my sisters but happy to get home to Matt. This was only the first of three trips I would take in a months time! I told you it was a busy Summer! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
