Busy May

I can't believe that in a few days it will be June already! Where has the month of May gone? It's flown by for me. We have managed to stay very busy this month and pack in a couple road trips too. First we went down to Nauvoo with the rest of the Burgin clan the first weekend in May. (Yes, I'm behind in blogging about this) We had a wonderful time there! It was me and Megan's first time there, but the rest of the crew has been there many times and has seen it all. One of the highlights of the trip was being able to go to the temple with my in-laws and Alex and Megan. Such a beautiful temple! One of my other favorite parts of Nauvoo were the couple missionaries. They perform in a show every night and it is so cute! I think that would be so fun to be a couple missionary there some day. I was impressed with how knowledgable and crafty they all were. I think I'd lose my patience on the weaving, but they were amazing at it. We of course also had to make a stop at the fudge shop and pick up some of their fabulous fudge. We were able to go to Carthage Jail and get a tour there as well. It was so neat to be able to actually see these historical sites that I've read and heard about all my life. Thanks to Teri and Steve for inviting us! We had a wonderful time! We did take lots of pics while we were there, but lately our internet at home has been very inconsistent, but I promise to post the pictures soon.



The next road trip was off to Missouri over Memorial Day weekend. We were so excited to head down to where it was warmer and hopefully get rid of our pasty skin laying by the pool. No luck though...it rained almost the whole time we were there. Major bummer! But we still had a great time being with family. Chad was so excited to be able to help his dad work on their lawn mower when we went down there. They spent almost an entire day working on it and finally were able to get it fixed. Way to go Chadley! I love walking or driving around their small town. Things just seem to move at a slower pace out there. Everyone has lots of land and it seems like having a dog is pretty much a requirement to live there. I'm grateful that we have family that lives semi-close that is willing to let us come stay with them. You guys are wonderful! We love you!



TOMORROW we will be going on another vacation. However, fortunately we will be flying instead of taking another road trip this time. We are headed out to Utah for a few days. It'll be a quick trip, but very much worth it. I can't wait to see my family, cute neices and nephews, and friends! Oh and the best part is that on the way back we get a direct flight from SLC to Lincoln! Wahoo! Thank you Delta!

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my Mom for Mother's Day. She is my best friend and one of the funnest people I know. Anyone who knows her knows that whenever she is around you are bound to have a good time and with lots of talking and laughing.-Probably where I get my giggles from. :) She is constantly serving everyone around her and has the biggest heart. Love you Mom!

I LOVE this pic! I still wish we would've bought those oven mitts!
