I hope I don't offend any of my friends in Texas, but I still kind of consider Utah my home. We just got back from a vacation to Utah this past week and it felt really weird coming home to Texas. It's probably because we have only been in Texas for 5 months and we were in Utah for 10 years and a lot of our family lives in Utah, but it was still a little strange.
Anyway, the girls and I had a wonderful time and got to see so many family members and friends. So thank you to all who were so generous in letting us stay and play with you!! We love you so much and of course miss you already:) We started off the week with a family reunion for my mom's family in Salt Lake. We had parties, went swimming, went to the Childrens Museum at the Gateway (Uncle Bryce taught Jace to make paper airplanes, while Val and Olivia played with the magnets) and of course did not get enough sleep at all! I got a priceless picture with Lexi and Grandpa Bear. I just love Lexi's smile with all of her teeth now - we almost have 6. (Thanks Mimi and Papa Romney)!
Then for the second half of the week we went up to Kamas to stay with Jed's parents and we went to his family reunion up in the COLD mountains (it was about 55 degrees - this was the first time I had worn pants or a sweatshirt in months) I had to put Lexi in the Baby Bjorn and then zip her up in a coat with me so she could stay warm - it was so cute!! It was so nice to have some cooler weather, where we could actually enjoy being outdoors - it was so beautiful and green. Thank you Gines family for all of the relaxing fun!
Those of you who know me well, know how much I love to sing and so as part of our trip I had the opportunity to participate in a Jenny Phillips music workshop with my mom, my aunts and my friend Julie and we had a ton of fun - it was really wonderful:) I also got to record a demo in a studio with Tyler Castleton (writes a ton of amazing music) and it was incredible - I loved every minute of it! I also got to meet Hilary Weeks - one of my favorite LDS artists. Altogether, the experience was unforgetable. Music has always been a passion of mine as well as a blessing. I just hope that one day I will have the opportunity to share with others the joy I feel when I sing!! We miss you Utah:)
