The drive was really long but i drove through the dark so it did not feel to bad. It really didnt feel like i was in the car by myself for 10 hours. Ive basically decided that all of my long distance trips will now be drivin through the night lol.
Well Wednesday i just hung out around my sisters place and we did some shopping then went out to dinner noting to crazy happened. Althpugh i did get them addicted to the game Phase 10. Which is an amazing game everyone should play it!
Then Thursday, good ol' Turkey day, i spent the day helping to prepare dinner. Which was super fun because we went to my brother in laws parents house. The day before i made some dessert to bring because it is a tradition in my family to do and it was a HUGE hit at the party everyone loved it and it was almost all gone befcore dinner was even sereved :)
After dinner and a quiet time because of a huge food coma, i went to the movies to see Pitch Perfect! Which i have to say it was one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. After getting out of the movie i checked my phone like always and found out my cousin that lives in Idaho was staying with my other cousins like 20 minutes from where I was. I had a mini freak out session.
So needless to say i spent the rest of my weekend hanging out with the Cousins. Both Emily who is living in Idaho and Justin and Melissa and their family who live in Salt Lake City.
On Friday we made it a girls day and Melissa Emily and Myself went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn Part 2. Which was amazing! I must say BRAVO to the creators of that movie. They did a phenomenal job! We also did some shopping t the DI and Nordstom Rack. I am absolutely in love with Nordstrom Rack and i found some awesome stuff but i restrained by self from buying anything because i would have bought the whole store. Haha.
Saturday i traveled down to Provo for a few hours to see the lovely Jessica Allen. Yes you all should be very jealous that i got to see her. Se is doing amazing and is loving BYU Provo. I am so happy and proud of her for the decision she made to go to BYU. She is a new Convert to the church and she has so much faith and so much love for the church. It is just so inspirational to me. And i am thankful to have her in my life. I love friends!
Saturday night i stayed at my cousins house and just had a movie night with Emily. We watched some awesome random movies! And worked on homework.
Then Sunday morning it was time to travel home. I was a long week away from home and i was ready to get home.. But was not ready for the 13 hour drive that was ahead of me... While driving through Filmore i was pulled over and i got a lame speeding ticket and a nice long talking to about how i shouldn't have tinted windows.. I tried so hard to talk my way out of it.. It didn't work at all. So that was a little set back and then the traffic getting out of Vegas was absolutely terrible! I felt like i was driving for days..
Notice the rear view mirror >.<
Then finally after 13 hours i made it home just to realize... I left my backpack in Salt Lake ... >.< This would be my life haha!! So my sister had to ship it back to me.. And on Wednesday it finally arrived.
After this long week away visiting family. I have come to realize how absolutely blessed i am. I live in an amazing town with some of the most awesome people i have ever met. I am fairly healthily and have been able to do all of things i have wanted. I have and have known all four of my grandparents which some people only get to know one or two. I have amazing family who at the drop of a hat will leave everything they are doing to drive hours on end to be with sick family in the hospital. I an truly blessed for all of the experiences and opportunities that have been placed in my path and i am grateful for everything and everyone in my life. I don't know what i did to deserve this but i am truly grateful.
