The Journey Home From The land of Sun and Palm Trees.

I have to tell you, I was so sad when we had to leave Las Vegas! They have sun! And Palm Trees! It was hard leaving, its not everyday I get to be a trophy wife and lay by the pool all day. Now I have to go back to being a trophy receptionist instead, and that's hard work.

On the drive home we stopped in St George to go to the temple. It was so pretty. Also, I think I'm meant to live in St George. It's hot and sunny and pretty. Chris and I were talking about moving there. I love the desert and I think I could fit right in. When we got back on the road we came to stop in Arizona for a full hour. A semi was blocking the road because he ran out of fuel, and had to wait for a helicopter to bring him fuel. It was nuts. So that put us off schedule for a bit. Did you know there is a petting zoo at the one of the rest stops in southern Utah? I did, and when I saw the sign for it I started yelling for Chris to pull over. The sad part was, it was closed until spring! ( I thought it was spring?) When we got to the hotel in Utah, I was pretty upset at how cold it was! I had to actually put on pants and shoes. It was slightly traumatizing. We also stopped at the Payson Utah temple because it was pretty.

Chris was not excited about the 1 hr delay

Here is your chance to make fun of me. I have this buffalo I take with me to everything. All my infertility treatments and tests, he has been there for me to squeeze. And every long distance car ride he comes with me to squeeze. He is my comfort for my pain and anxiety. I also may or may not sleep with him. I will never tell.

The next day we made our journey home! The puppies were so excited to see us! Thank goodness my parents fed us dinner because we had no food in the house. I ended the night with cuddles from all three of the animals. They missed us so much. Now its back to life, and back to wearing pants.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts. Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it. We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this! The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest. The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip. When
