We just returned from a wonderful weekend in Logan. We initially planned the trip to attend Earl's cousin's wedding, but decided to take the opportunity to spend a long weekend, since the kids would be starting Spring Break.
We had such a great time! We visited with lots of family....mostly at Angie's restaurant versus the wedding reception. And reconnected with some of our fantastic friends! It was so much fun to visit with Becca and her girls at Willow Park. I can't believe how fast they grow.....they aren't supposed to do that when I'm not there! We are already looking forward to our annual trip to the Festival of Trees. Well, we have missed a couple of years because of pregnancies and brand new babies, but we don't count those!
It sure was nice to find out that the Ellis family are still the best BBQ buddies ever! Brian's steaks and dutch oven potatoes are to die for. In fact, Spencer is looking for ways to make us move up there or at least visit much more often because the food was so good. I think he also really enjoyed playing in their backyard....once again, when can we make our next trip???
We really needed the weekend away. It was the best!
Andraia's favorite part of the weekend? The pool at the hotel and visiting with Uncle Richard and Aunt Louise. They are such great people! They love our kids like they are their own grandchildren. We miss Earl's mom so much, so it is great to have this connection, and we really enjoy the surrogate grandparents!
We also had the opportunity to meet Earl's stepdad's new wife. They were married a year ago, but we haven't been to Logan to meet her. She is so sweet. And as an added bonus, we met their newest addition. Abigail Naomi was born on Friday. She is very tiny and in the NICU until she gains weight, but she is so beautiful! Earl even had the privilege of giving her a blessing! He was so grateful for the opportunity.
We know that we were moved to Orem for many reasons, and will always be amazed at the circumstances that brought us here, but we genuinely love and miss Logan and all of the people we 'left behind'.
Go Aggies!!

It was fun to see you guys this weekend. I'm glad we decided to go to breakfast at Angie's because I felt like i didn't get to see anyone at the reception either. We need more opportunities to get together with everyone. It is so great to have a supportive family though!
We love you guys! I'm so thankful for your support. Your family is awesome.
It looks so beautiful. I've never been there. It's always hard to leave a place you love and especially the people you love, but I guess Heavenly Father has reasons for having us here in Orem. I think it's to be my friend. You truly are my only friend here and I love you. Thank you for always thinking of us.
Well, you moved here from California just to be my friend, so its a good thing we found each other!
