Well, I'm back from my fantastic vacation to Colorado, and I decided it was finally time to update the blog. I started out in Colorado just hanging out with my parents. It was SUPER fun and my mom and I got a few things done :) My mom made curtains for little Michael's room (which turned out AMAZING!!!) and I cooked 10 pounds of Sloppy Joe meat for our family reunion. We got to watch a lot of Bones and The Mentalist, not to mention our Classic Period Piece of the trip: Wives and Daughters. My mom and I were so excited to watch it-- there were 3 DVDs which equal 6 hours of viewing fun, or so we thought. It turns out that the last DVD was just extra features, so we were pretty confused when the show was wrapping up on the 2nd DVD and didn't clue in that it was over until the credits rolled. Wow, we are so on top of things! We just looked at each other and said, "That's it?" But in retrospect, we both really enjoyed it. There were some pretty amazing parts in it :)
After hanging out in Colorado for a few days, we made the drive to Provo to pick up Sara. (My lil' Sis.) It was SO fun to see her (considering I haven't seen her since April when she went to London. It's weird knowing that she's home and not having our Sister Nights once a week.... dang moving!) We helped her make an amazing dinner for her dinner group and I got presents from London! I'm totally in love with the scarf she gave me and can't wait to wear it in November! Then we headed up Idaho to our family reunion in Island Park.
My favorite part of the whole trip was the WEATHER! It was so cool (in the 70's) the entire time. Ahhh, such relief from the 115 that I despise in Glendale. I guess it was pretty fun to see my family too :) I got to see Megan and her family for the first time in a year and a half... and I got to bond with my new niece, who is absolutely adorable! So, it was a GREAT trip.

Oh man! First, I want to know if Brett made the Welcome Home sign. If so, you're not the only one getting craftier! Second, LOVED the cute name plate and curtains. Lucky Michael that he has such a great mommy!
