Utah-Graduation-Family

Last Friday I headed North to Utah to celebrate with Janae.

She graduated from Hunter High School.

We went to Olive Garden first and had the best service I have ever had anywhere in my life. Janae with her boyfriend Johnny

The grad

My Mom and Dad

Our Grandmas

The siblings

(minus Stuart who comes home in a little less then six months from his mission)

The next day we were going to go to Hogle Zoo. I got there first and quickly found out that that was a very bad idea. Everybody else in Utah had the same idea. Instead we went bowling. The girls were really upset but Grandpa promised they could go on Monday. That was a much better choice. The place was practically empty and the weather was beautiful.

The girls were finally able to fit into bowling shoes and they were pretty excited.

Janae and Ella

Ella LOVES pink. She saw this pink ball and wanted it. Who cares that it was a 14. She still hefted it up to the lane. She also would not leave it and kept her hands on it almost the entire time. She didn't want anybody else using it. Still guarding her ball

On Tuesday we headed back home and we brought Janae back with us. Then Friday my parents and brother and sister came down and visited us here. Janae had a softball tournament to play here in Vegas.

They left today and it is such a let down.

*****

We have been living here in Vegas for a year now. Holy cow. It sure doesn't seem like it has been that long. I am doing way better than I was when we moved her, but it is still hard to be away from all of our family. I wish everyday that we could move back to Utah. These little trips with family make it hard. Yes, I know, we are very blessed that Tyler has a job and I should be happy with it. I am. I like it here now, but still don't want to ever live here for the rest of my life. I am happy though. We have been blessed with an awesome ward and we have gotten to know a lot of great people. I'm not complaining though because, really, I. Am. Happy.! Especially since my health has improved a lot. I finally feel really good and I feel normal again after a year of feeling sick. Wahoo!!!
Have a nice day
