Utah!!!

 Toward the end of April I was blessed to fly to Utah to visit family and attend my dearest friend's wedding. We had party after party with a little prom shopping in the mix. I totally over did things one week after surgery, but the exhaustion was totally worth the hugs, crafts, food, laughing, tears, and visits. (Holy moley! Please forgive my hair!)

Below are my mom, myself, Marki, Grandma T., and Brittany.

Mom, Brittany, and I put together a little surprise birthday party for Chloe. She was really surprised and we had a fun time making hair accessories. (Bo doesn't look too impressed in the background.) The girls and I made hair accessories and it was really fun.

From this point on, I would not have had any other pictures if it were not for Chloe. I was so busy chatting and having fun that I kept forgetting to take pictures. It was Easter after all, so I'm glad Chloe was on top of things.

This is my Aunt Jennifer.

I had a terrific time. Thank you to my family that I was blessed to visit with. Thank you to Chris for letting me go solo on this trip (my first in 7 years), and thank you to Chris's mom, Donnell, for flying to LR to stay with the kids.

The wedding was wonderful and I was able to rejuvenate my mind, emotions, and spirit. Attending the temple is always a wonderful experience. This is a trip that I will never forget.
