UTAH!!!!!


I went to Utah this past weekend!  It was great.  I met Travis' family who were all so wonderful. We stayed at Lori's house (which is beautiful and is on the market so you should buy it); Lori and her family were awesome!  All of her kids are beautiful and so polite.  I had a lot of fun playing volleyball and tennis with them.  Lori also had a BBQ at her house with a lot of yummy food and fun socializing with family and friends.  Everyone was so nice! 




Travis and I got pedicures while we were there with Rod and Amy (who are also super sweet).  It was fun!  Travis got his toes painted silver eeekks.  We also visited other friends and their parents.  We played Wii and watched Rod and Amy's son's (David and Zack who are adorable) play around and eat lots of sugar!
 






I climbed a mountain!  Well kind of hehe.  We went to Zion's National Park and we hiked the most difficult one there called Angels Landing.  I think they call it that because it is so high!!!  I quickly realized just how afraid of heights I was but dealt well with it and was taken away by the beauty of the mountains which I have never seen before.


We spent the last day in Vegas which my parents and Travis' parents met up for lunch.  That evening we went to the wax museum, walked through the Venetian hotel and then went and had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe'!!!  It was super delicious.  Oh and we watched the Lion walk around and sleep and then yawn a bunch at MGM Grand.  We then went for a walk and watched the water show at the Bellagio.  It was a great evening and ending to a great weekend!  


I go back to Utah in August and am super excited to meet the rest of Travis' family.  I will not be nervous this time hehe.  


Well it was back to work today and I must say I think I needed a vacation after my vacation.  I was super tired and just wasn't all there.  


Special thanks to you Lori for the granola cereal, for your hospitality and for you miss Meghan for giving up your room!  Bryan, Cameron, Brady, Jacob, and Luke it was great meeting you!  It was also great meeting you Mr. and Mrs. Phillips!  Thank you for driving to Vegas it was really fun.

Bob and I were real happy to meet such wonderful people. We had a great visit with Carol and Lee and we look forward to seeing them again. Please thank them again for buying dinner. Bob and I went to the Rat pac show and we sat at a table with a group of delightful people who were also from Utah. We had a great time even though I wasn't successful AT ALL on the slot machines, the trip proved to be successful with all the wonderful people we met.

So happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Utah & that your parents were able to meet you in Vegas. It does sound like you & Travis may have a future together!

Glad you had a good time. But, for heaven's sake please call us Lee and Carol. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips are Lee's Mom and Dad and they are no longer living. LOL We had a great time meeting your parents. They seem like really genuine, down to earth people. We liked them a lot. Say, "Hi" to them for us. We are looking forward to you coming to God's country in August. We call Mt. Pleasant our little piece of Heaven. I'm sure it is the closest I am going to get to Heaven.
