Our Story: Our hometown

Our trip to Utah was amazing! We spent the majority of our time with Stephen's family because I was able to stay an extra two weeks with mine after Stephen went back to the Island. His entire family was able to come visit which meant a lot of crazy fun and game nights. Sweet baby Kaylee was kind enough to bring a stomach bug all the way from Vegas with her to Utah. It hit quite a few family members. Stephen got knocked dead for one full day which was not fun at all. It was the first time I have ever seen him really sick. I felt so bad for him. The bug hit me a few days later and I stayed pretty sick for a few days. Then a few days after that I got a cold that lasted until I went back to the Island. There must be something about coming back to Utah. It just gets me sick and more sick.
After the stomach bug sickness had mostly passed all the guys spent an afternoon golfing and the girls got pedicures and went shopping! Stephen even got a couple haircuts while we were on break. His first haircut was just a trim but it didn't look the best afterwards so a couple days later he went in and had about 6 inches chopped off. He had been growing it for 9 months. I have to admit I had a love/hate relationship with the long hair and ended up being a little sad to see it go. Luckily Stephen is super attractive with short and long hair.
Like all of our trips home we end up fitting a lot in our schedule. We did so much I had to put our activities into separate posts. We caught up on movies that were in the theaters, had wonderful American food, went shopping, and did as much as we could with friends and family while trying to relax plenty. After sending Stephen off at the airport I headed to Orem to stay with one of my best friends Shae. I spent the night at her house and the next day we celebrated her birthday. We went to Chili's for lunch and then got a slice of chocolate cake to share from The Chocolate in Provo. I was able to play with her darling little baby girl Molly. It was so much fun being able to visit with her for the day. Then I headed back to Logan for the next week and a half. I was able to visit so many good friends: Trisha, Alison, Brikelle, and Brandon and Whitney. My parents and I had a fun time too. They were so funny and cute when they dropped me off at the airport. They watched me off and kept waving good bye until I went all the way through security and then up the escalator out of sight. I love my family so very much and was so grateful to be able to spend some extra time with them before heading back to the Island.
