In Utah

We made it here. It's so much easier flying with your husband -- especially when he sits with the kids and you sit across the aisle. I got to do some cross-stitching in peace from DC to Denver :) Of course, Denver to DC I sat by them and at that point they were kind of tired of the idea of flying... But I've flown solo with the kids that last three trips so this time was very pleasant.

We stayed up too late visiting, seeing an indoor soccer game (go Amy!), eating at Carl's Jr., trying on wedding attire, looking at the fish and gingerbread houses (Abby), catching up... we wondered if the kids would actually adapt to the mountain time zone well this morning since they went to bed at midnight eastern time. NOPE!! They woke up at 4am (MST) and were up with the lights on and playing in their room. Ross put them back in bed and shut the lights out. Five minutes later, they were up again playing. Ross finally unscrewed the lightbulb (burnt his finger in the process) and I took them down to the kitchen for a snack. Luckily they fell back asleep until 8am.

Today we went to Murray to visit an old missionary companion of Ross's. His kid and our kids played while the men talked about law school. Now we're back home, labeling wedding annoucements, stamping them, and getting some laughs... Weddings sure do bring out some crazy moments.

But the highlight of today ---

Ross bought plane tickets to Orlando. We are going to Disneyworld in May. Wahoo!! I can't wait!!

Andrea,
I am so glad you made it here safely, and am glad you are having a great time. When are we going to get together? I will probably call you later tonight!
Oh, and by the way, after last year's morning of playing games, I have wanted to play Ticket to Ride again! Lucky for me, my parents gave it to me as an early Christmas present! So if you don't have it, I will!! I can't wait to see you!!

It sounds like you guys will have a crazy but busy holiday/wedding. I am glad you guys can be out here to share the fun with your family. That is a nice Christmas present for a May vacation. We should have done some planning I am going to be up after Christmas.
