One last Shebang

I just got back from spending a week in Utah. I'm been dying to get up there for the last almost 3 years, I can't believe it's been that long since I left there. And I figured if I don't go now, before we have a baby, all hope will be lost. So, Stacy, willing to go anywhere to get away from AZ summers was kind enough to join me along with her 2 adorable kids. Sadly, it wasn't much cooler there but there's a lot more shade! And we had a killer time seeing old friends and family and didn't stop going till we drove home. This was also a monumental trip in my life because it was the very first time Benton and I have ever been apart! We did ok, but sleeping comes easier for us now that we're both back home.
Here are some highlights of our trip:

• Being out of the AZ sun
• Seeing friends that we haven't seen in YEARS!
• International Festival
• ABBA Concert, yes, my uncle took us, it wasn't the real group, but they are the best impersonation in the world, they're even from Sweden, and the original guitarist played with them. It was serious fun!!
• Playing up in the Canyon
• Rainstorms
• Legallized Fire Crackers
• Pioneer Day Utah Style
• BYU bookstore Fudge
• Eating at Kneaders, home of my all-time favorite sandwhich
• I can't even remember all the crazy things we did, it was non-stop!! We ran around so much I started to get cankles!! (That does not count as a highlight)
• I've also decided I'm not taking any more real pics till after I have my baby, yikes, it's so scary to look that. :o)
