Utah trip

 Fresh off my all night Laundry party I hopped on a plane to Utah at 8am Thursday.
Emilee and Shaine picked me up at the airport and we headed out to meet my mom, dad, Julia, Cristal and Elsie for lunch.

Tucanos. It was yummy!

 Oh hello again baby Elsie!

As I was looking at this picture I was trying to figure out how my wrist was looking so skinny... Its Cristal's wrist. haha. Elsie isn't picky she likes limes.

 We did a little shopping after then headed to the Timpanogas Temple for Cristal to get her endowments.

They almost called the session full with out us!!!! AHHHHH! Fortunately they made room for us, for goodness sake we came from AZ.

Me, Emilee, and Cristal

 That night Cristal was still working on her dress and was up late sewing.

About midnight I was really feeling that I had practically been up all night the night before.

I went downstairs to the couch by my dad. I slept soundly and was told my dad was snoring so loud during the night they could here him upstairs. Not me, slept like a baby.

Cristal Jordan, Elsie, Julia and my mom left early to take pictures at the Manti Temple before they were getting sealed. That left my dad and I to run and try Kneaders! It was soooo good. They syrup is like carmel. wait my dad must have left with them...

I got a ride with Shaine and Emilee.

 Manti temple

 Cristal, Jordan, and baby Elsie were sealed for eternity as a family over the temple alter.

I have to say it was one of the most precious things I have ever seen.
Baby Elsie was so cute and happy when they brought her in to her parents.

 After we took some windblown pictures.

Emilee, me, and Julia.

 Elsie hamming it up for the camera.

 Everyone had lunch together and headed back to Jordan and Cristal's house. I stayed with Shaine and Emilee who had said I could ride home with them.

We walked around the temple. Emilee tried out her new skirt as a baby carrier.

 We climbed the massive staircase on the side of the temple...

 I sat on the side for a picture. Right at the top where the shadow ends. My heart is pounding from fear of heights.

 Porter chillin.

 We made it home with a rather lengthly detour due to a crash on the 17 blocking all lanes of traffic. WE finally arrived home! Yay, my own bed.

 And I had this to face the next day.... which kind of felt overwhelming,.

 But after many hours I came out on top. Now for some rest.
