Utah 2013! Highlights...

It had been too long. I needed to go "home" for a bit. 

I though 3 weeks would be perfect, but in the end, it wasn't enough. There were friends and family I wanted to see and didn't get to. Not because they aren't important to me, but just because 3 weeks just isn't enough. 

 I want to start with the memory list we made in the airport on the way home. No specific order. You won't know what all of them mean, but we do. They are memories that make us smile. 

Mountains * 100+ degree days *  Dance parties with Mindy and Evie * Butt Boobies * Holding Dexter * Calling Dexter Dorkster * Holding Rella like a baby * Running into friends at the grocery store * Lemonade stand * Meeting Sarah's fiance Laryn * sleepovers with cousins and friends * going through our storage unit * swimming at Colton's pool * the Lazy River at Cherry Hill * wide roads * camping * fishing and Augi's first catch * Holding hands with Colton * Italian  food with Clint * Lots and lots of peaches in the lunchroom * box of trolls * shy Gustav and licky Matisse * Bruce's waffles * Birthday donuts * laughs with Josh and Mindy * watching Goonies * Rainbow squishies * Wendy's fast food * Mexican food! * Celebrating my birthday with Tammy * shopping shopping shopping * Meeting more family...Mary Ellen, Lacey, Jon, Grandpa Augustine, Natalie, Indi * staying up until midnight * Minecraft with Kaedyn * walks * Chinese buffet with Dave * Mimi's cooking * feeling at home *

As we thought about our trip, we all felt sad about leaving. 

We are trying to remind ourselves that no matter how long we are gone, it always feels as if we never left when we are back with our loved ones.  Thanks to you all for the great memories!
