Jenni-TA

I was lucky enough to travel to Utah with Jeana & Brandon for a week, and by lucky enough I mean I got to help drive the 24 hours straight through while being in a van with 3 little kids hearing numerous..."Mommy mommy mommy mommy....daddy daddy daddy...." and so on. The whole idea sounded great, but when we actually got in the van I questioned my very state of mind! haha in all honesty the kids did really good, considering they were strapped in carseats...I would totally go crazy if I had to do that. We left sunday afternoon and got there monday afternoon all feeling and smelling I might add pretty gross. I swear that's the worse part of traveling. All during the drive we kept asking the kids..."Where are we going??" The Happy reply was "UTAH!" but from Dallin Man we got "Dallin-TA" apparently saying Utah means putting your own name in front hahaha sooo cute!!! So Yes we went to Jenni-TA!!
I forgot how much I love Utah and how pretty it is out there, I had a BLAST!!!! I stayed with my good friend Amy in Provo from Monday night to Thursday morning and let me tell ya soooooo much fun!! I was able to go on 2 dates...yes crazy I know considering I'm not a fan of dating and that I really haven't dated in over a year hahaha but I had the BEST time....I went hiking on one date and boating the other....besides having 2 major blisters from hiking and making a fool out of myself trying to wakeskate it was a good time!! I needed some fun times, I needed to be reminded that dating is actually a good thing and can be fun!

Thursday Jeana and Brandon's sister Natalie picked me up and we had a shopping day....again sooooo fun!! hahaha how could it not right?? I spent the rest of the week with Jeana and Brandon and his family, although Friday I got to spend the day with my friend Joe from EAC who I haven't seen since graduation last year. We played laser tag, had lunch, sculpted ice cream, walked by Provo Temple, and went to see "How to train your dragon"
Saturday we went Mt. Timp cave, well not the cave but at the bottom and had lunch with all the kids and Ryan & Natalie's family....we played by the river and just had a good time, after we went to Neal and Stacy's house for the 24th party...again so fun to see people. That night the boys lit off fireworks and guess what?? I fired the potato gun...oh my lanta was that fun! First Brandon held it while I lit the spark, I guess he didn't trust me all that much haha don't blame him. But Jeana fired it by herself and I just got jealous, so I wanted to do it too!!!
Sunday we took off...yes the dreadful trip back home, actually I wanted to kick and scream about getting back in the car, but being 20 I figured I needed to set a good example to the kids haha
The kids did awesome the way home, only a few meltdowns. I have grown to depise Wyoming and Nebraska!!! And I no longer eat McDonalds....in Wyoming we stopped to eat and I totally think it was punishment for buying on Sunday. The McD's was dirty and disgusting and left all of us sick. Yup after that I was soo happy to get home...happy to have my own shower and own bed.
Once I get more pics from Jeana I'll post them :) LOVE YOU ALL!!!
