Utah Friends

Our first weekend back together and we went road tripin’. There were 2 wedding receptions we had been invited to. Though we could only make it to one, we decided to make a weekend out of it. Driving is good time for us to talk. We talk about about plans, our personal thoughts, and expectations of our future together. Side note, Idaho is beautiful this time of year- just sayin’.

We visited my Grandma. She made yummy dinner and bought a cake to celebrate my birthday a little early. She’s always sweet, plus its nice to spend time with her. Grandma was also a rockstar and booked a place for our wedding lunch!

I also got to see one of my favorite mission companions- Paola (Hna. Escobar)! She is from Guatemala but is living and going to school in Utah for now! Poor Sheldon was so good and patient as we talked in Spanish for awhile. It was fun to catch up though.

We couldn’t be so close without going to see McKinsey. So we picked her up and went to Zupa’s for some chocolate strawberries and a quick dessert we all shared.

The main reason we went to Utah was for Spencer’s Wedding Reception. It was a really nice atmosphere and had cute decorations. The best part was getting all dressed up for the evening with my handsome fiancé. I did see a few familiar friendly faces at the reception from back home, which was fun. We didn’t stay too long though because Sheldon wanted to get back and watch the end of the BYU basketball game (they won btw).

 

Then Sunday we drove back to Idaho to go to church with his family before returning to Rexburg. I think we decided that it was a 970 mile endeavor in all. Shel was the super driver the whole time too.

Thankfully I’m back in Rexy now and ready for classes again. Fun trip!
