my Cute Nephew H.!! and my Salt Lake rain clouds.

I was shocked to find out that people actually read my blog!! I spent the last week in SLC and St. George and my dear friend Jeanene told me I don't hardly write on here.. I"ll try to do better.

My Salt Lake trip was pretty fun. I got to hang out and go to dinner with my two sisters, Brit and Aub... loved getting to see and hang out with them.. its nice to bond with them and it was great to see them. I love you girls so much!! I really have missed my family and sister time out here in Cali.

I got to see my parents for a short period of time.. wish it could have been longer.. but i love you guys and i hope you enjoyed your camping trip!!

OH my Owen was Adorable!!! It made me so happy to see him.. sigh

And Thursday was the best day of my trip. I picked up Dax and we went to my parents house to say goodbye to my dad and to Owen.. dad was busy so we tried not to bother him too much.. anyways.. Owen did all his tricks for Dax and I was so proud. Then we went out my my sisters house to see the kids!! We played on the tramp, hide and go seek and went for a walk to see the burned up house. Dax as always was so cute with them and had a hard time hiding for hide and go seek.. lol funny to walk by and just see him standing in the corner. lol. Anyways we went to our famous Carl's Jr drive thru.. lol last time we were there, some guy almost got in a fight with us.. this time around the rental cars alarm started going off while we were paying! it was weird!! and of course funny. We played along with tradition by going to a dollar movie..(wolverine) and then he and i had sushi with his family. I left for about an hour and then he and I went to hang with our friend Jen.

Jen and I have a tradition of driving down a road called north temple.. it runs along the great salt lake and is a stretch of road that is never patrolled and never has other cars.. it feels like its surrounded by nothingness and in the dark it gives a sense of freedom, openness and trust. We often would just drive and talk about anything and everything, laugh at everything and listen to a smattering of music. So Jen got a New (to her) t-top camero, so she drove. it was night time and i was in the back seat, Dax in the front and Jen of course driving. It was so fun but it also produced the best few minutes I think I've ever had in my life.

"A light less road, nothing but black and open space.
It was dark, clouds covered a night sky and lightning brought purple clouds to life.
We drove with the t- top, The warm summer wind blowing our hair.
Listening rock music so loud it hides the thunder.
Rain falls in my eyes as I raise my head and sing a song that resonates thru the speakers and my body.
The bass pumps thru my heart, or my heart pumps thru the bass?
All I know is I feel it.
My voice mixes with the rain, wind, the rock guitar and the engine's dull roar.
My hands above my head, touching the elements, as i lay face towards the sky, my head on the seat.
Drops fall on my eye lids, and I trust this feeling.
3 and a half minutes.
Never feeling so free or so hopeful.
The three of us are one and alone all at once and Everything is right with the world.
the song ends, the rain stops, but we remain.
Young and full of life. "

That's the closest I can describe it.. if that little poem is good enough.. maybe I'll put it in my book. Anyways, After our drive.. Jen had to go, so I hung out with Dax for about an hour after and then went back to the hotel. Overall..an amazing day.

I got to hang out with my good friends, Chloe', Amy and Ashley and I was so happy to see and chill with them for a bit. Amy and Ash just came to the hotel room and we all talked, and Chloe' and I got hot chocolates and talked and watched a funny south park. It was so nice to just relax with people I've known my whole life.

To start the trip, I went to St. George and Met up with my good friend James. We hung out with his family and we all went boating!! It was the first time I'd ever been and even through I'm a horrible swimmer, it was a blast! I hope that if there's a next time that I can try wake boarding!! I was too much a Chicken this time around. lol Anyways, it was fun and I truly enjoyed hanging out with Jeanene and the rest of James' Family.

The Trip was awesome and I guess I was really missed at work.. which is always nice. I'm Indifferent to being "home" in Cali.
