Weekend In Lehi, Salt Lake, Logan, and Orem...

THURSDAY:
Around 9:30 am, Nick got home from work. I was still packing everything (yes, including his things) :) and we had planned to leave by 11. Well after getting something to eat, going to the bank, dropping something off at a friends, we ended up leaving town at 1. So we had a very LONG drive ahead of us. I do have to say that I sure do prefer flying. :) Right as we were leaving town, the driver's side back window decided to stop working. It wouldn't roll up or down. Instead we would push it up and as we drove along, it would slowly just fall down. VERY annoying when driving on the highway. :) It was an adventure as I was driving through a rain storm while Nick was fast asleep and the rain and freezing wind was coming right into the car. :) Eight hours later, Nick and I arrived in Logan, Utah at Bob and Dani's. They waited up for us and we hung out for while, catching up and what not.

FRIDAY:
Nick and I had plans to head BACK to Salt Lake for the day to attend a session in the Salt Lake temple and then drive even further AWAY from Logan, to Nick's Mission Reunion. :) Sadly, Bob and Dani had to work that day and could not join us. For those who have not had the opportunity to attend the Salt Lake Temple and are able to do so, I STRONGLY suggest that you do so. You will NOT regret it. How amazing and beautiful it truly is. I'm so grateful that I was able to have that experience.
After the session we hurried out of Salt Lake and on towards Lehi. Well, lets just say that either Nick and I are absolutely retarded when it comes to reading directions, or the directions were as bad as we thought. :) We were calling the other missionary buddies of Nick asking them how they got there. FINALLY we gave up and started over from the exit off the interstate. :) After that, we drove straight to it. Life and learn huh?! And to our surprise, we walked in just as it was starting. :) We were afraid we were VERY late, but it actually started a hour later then we thought!
The reunion was a GREAT turn out as there were over 200 missionaries and their guests who attended. I was so glad that Nick was able to see so many of those people that he missed. We had a lot of fun and I got to meet even MORE people that he served with. After that, we drove BACK to Logan. (NO... we didn't get lost)

SATURDAY:
We slept in. :) We woke up in time to listen to conference and make some breakfast. We relaxed around the house and listened to conference until Bob got off work. We then went out for Lunch/dinner at this awesome pizza place (good choice Dani)! Then the guys got ready for Priesthood session and Dani and I went shopping. :)
After Priesthood was over, we all met up and went to Shane's house to play Guitar Hero. Most of you are probably what's the big deal because a lot of people play it all the time. Well, not us and so it was a sight to see and some priceless entertainment. :) It was a nice full day of relaxation and fun!

SUNDAY:
Our last day in Utah! :(... going back to work, school, and responsibilities. Nick and I woke up early and got everything ready to go. We watched the first half of conference with Bob and Dani and then drove to Salt Lake. Nick's brother, Matt, was lucky and kind enough to get us tickets to the afternoon session of Conference. This was another first for me. I had never been to General Conference or even in the Conference Center for that matter. If you think General Conference is amazing on tv, being right there in the same room is another experience. I'm SO glad that Matt was able to get us these tickets. The last session was one of my favorites as it was FULL of great talks, messages, and answers. I will never forget that experience.
After wards we drove to Orem, which was on our way towards Vegas. My friend, Kate, lives there and I wasn't about to drive right through the town she lives in without stopping. :) We had dinner together and hung out for awhile. It was SOO good to see her!
It got around to 8 pm and we still had a 6 hour drive ahead of us, so we decided that we should better get going. About half way home, we both gave in and ducked taped the window shut. Yes, it looks pretty white trash, but at least we weren't freezing. :) The drive was even better after that. We got to Vegas around 1 am and went right to bed.

What a great weekend full of so many awesome and spiritual experiences. I'm so grateful we were able to get time away from work and school in order to go. It was short and FULL of driving and non-stop activities, but it was ALL worth it.
Thanks Bob and Dani, for letting us stay with you and having so much fun with us. We love you both!!
Matt, thanks for the tickets. I wish everyone could go to conference each time because it is amazing! :)
Thanks for making time for us too, Kate. Wish we could of had more time with you also. There's never enough time for everything it seems. But we always make the best of it and have good laughs!!
