Home for the Holidays

I'm back in Utah and back into my regular routine. Although it was great seeing my family, I have to say I was glad to be back in Utah. I enjoy to my working routine now and being independent and on my own. I thought I would never say that, but it’s true!

I have no idea when I will be visiting home next. Probably not for quite a while. I'm sure my parents will come down to Utah within the next few months sometime, so it will be great to see them when they visit!

A couple highlights of my trip home (that I didn't mention in my previous Birthday/Christmas post):

I was able to watch Emma and Nora while my cousin Leisha and her husband went to dinner and watched the movie Les Miserables for their anniversary. I would watch those cuties everyday if I could! I missed them so much, so it was great to play, laugh and be silly with them for a little bit.

Our homemade mustaches!

I spent the majority of New Year's Eve at my Grandma Key's house with my sisters. We went sledding and snowmobiling. It was great to spend time with my sisters and also visit with my Grandma Key! I also played cribbage with her and won :)

 My cousin Landon and his fiancé Natalie decided to tie the knot while a bunch of their family was visiting for the holidays. They were planning on getting married in April but felt it would be better to get married while their family members were all there. So they put a wedding together in only 4 days! Talk about craziness. Despite the rushed wedding, it turned out to be quite perfect. Natalie's sister sang during the ceremony and she has such an amazing voice. We had a dinner after which my mom, aunt and some others helped put together and it was delicious. My cousin Shaila, Landon's sister, took some pictures of them before the wedding as well as during. She is so talented! The pictures turned out great. But I loved being home to go to Landon's wedding because I was able to spend time with my family that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. 

Yesterday before I headed for Spokane to catch my flight for Utah, I was able to see my Grammie! Her and my grandpa were in Texas the entire time I was home, so I was never able to see them. But they came home the same day I was leaving, and got to Ephrata a half hour before I had to drive to Spokane. I figured a few minutes of seeing them is better than none at all! Sadly I didn't see my grandpa, as he was already at the store buying groceries. But I still got to see my Grammie who I love dearly! 

I did a lot while I was home and enjoyed every minute of it!
