Latest Happenings

What is new with us you ask? Well, we got back from Sun Valley today. We went for one night for my work, so it only cost us Mat's dinner and lunch today! It was so nice there and not as hot as it is in Boise. But we were ready to get back and keep on packing our stuff. We did get a lot of boxes packed up this past weekend, but there is a lot left for sure.

We had a great trip last weekend to Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Well, overall it was great. We headed down to SLC on Saturday after Mat was off work and pulled into Sarah and Matt's driveway just in time for a lovely BBQ and birthday party for their son Sean. He was two and obviously enjoying being in the spotlight. I wonder where he got that from?? It was so great to see them and catch up. We also got to meet their new little girl, Madison. The next day Mat headed out to play some frisbee golf with his cousin and I passed up the heat to hang out with Sarah, Madison and Sean.

We saw in the paper that there were some crazy fires across I-15, which was the best way to get to Las Vegas. But we called and they said the road was all clear. HA! It wasn't and we took a 4 hour detour, so our 5 hour trip to Vegas took nine hours! But we did get to go through Zion National Park and that was something we wouldn't have stopped off to do otherwise. We finally got into Vegas around 11 p.m. Luckily, Penny and Tony's plane had not arrived, so we just unpacked and then finally met up with them when their plane arrived. What fun to see Penny after a couple years! Mat was so excited to meet my old college roomie for the first time and I was so glad they got to meet him.

Monday was the wedding! Mat and I first tried to do a very quick tour of Vegas before Penny got ready for her wedding. I had a great time seeing her get all ready for her big day! We all ended up at the Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel, which was so cute! They had all kinds of weddings you could do, but they chose the outside gazebo, which was so pretty and had all kinds of pretty lights draped around it. I tried to take pictures, but a lot of them turned out not so great. I'm not the star photographer I would like to be! That night we spent hanging out with P&T and their families. Before we knew it, it was so late and we called it a night. The next day was an all day driving event for us, but we got back to Boise in about 11 hours. Next time, we'll just fly!

So that's what we have been up to lately. I think this weekend will probably we just us packing and trying to prepare for our new house! We still don't know if we close on the 31st or 1st of August. I am just so ready to get there.

Have a good night!
