April 27th - May 1st

Monday morning Kenny went back to work and I started unpacking and cleaning. I unloaded as much of the U-Haul as I could by myself. Kenny did the rest with our kind neighbor when he came home. We did that Monday, and Tuesday. Wednesday was our 3 year anniversary, but we didn’t get to celebrate of course. Kenny went to work. I stayed home and unpacked and cleaned some more, then put clothes back INTO our suitcases and packed up the car. Kenny got off work an hour early and we immediately left. We dropped off the U-Haul and started on the road to Utah. We drove through the night and switched off driving when the other was too tired. Kenny drove most of the way though. We did get to talk a lot on the road and that was nice. We realized that in the 3 short years we’ve been married we have had 2 children, graduated from college, and moved 5 times. I told him we’d better slow down.



We made it about 5 hours before my sister’s reception, which was good timing. It was beautiful. I was so glad to be there with my whole family and see so many relatives that I hadn’t seen in so long. Brynlee was acting terribly though and Kenny was kind enough to take her in so I could talk to family and friends. She just cried a lot. I kept having to leave and go help take care of her, feed her, etc. After a couple good doses of Tylenol she finally fell asleep. It was also the beginning of Tyler’s rough attitude. I don’t blame them. I mean hello, look at what we have been dragging them through.


This is me with my cousin, Charlotte. She is the woman I have always wanted to be when I grow up. I admire her so much and wish we lived closer together. We don't see each other very often anymore, but every time we get together it's like we were never apart. I always feel so comfortable around her. If you're reading this Charlotte, I love you!

The next morning was my sister’s wedding at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple, which is where Kenny and I got married so it was really special to be back there and think about our own sealing, the same week as our anniversary. Kim even wore my dress so it was fun. She looked SO pretty in it. I’m so happy for her and Caleb. Afterwards there was a luncheon, and the rest of the day we just all hung out and it was great.

Laura--Can I get that pic you took of me and kim please?
