Back to the REAL WORLD

So Yesterday was a very LONG day. but I survived. The flight coming back to NY is always tough. We got to NY early but due to high air traffic had to wait over 20 mins to land. What does this mean? We flew around in circles, the smallest circle an airplane can make, for 20 mins straight. Making me, a frequent flyer nauseous. Being nauseous on a plane is rare for me. Finally we landed and I got to use the nearest very full girls room, and found my luggage at baggage claim, which they didn't even bother to tell us where to go to get.


Anyways, as the Title says its now back to the real world. I have forgotten what it's like to really live with boys. Especially my own brothers and on their own, as my parents are out of town celebrating my mother's birthday early. What a mess! So here I am on my Sunday, holiday weekend, cleaning up after my brothers and making the apartment somewhat liveable. I will be so happy to finally see my parents come home. :) Guess I should get back to that cleaning....

Ok so I thought that this was a cute arrangement of photographs. Cobi is making a silly face, which Fe took. On one hand Fe is being her full of enegery self while on the other hand Hagen is asleep on the couch.

I love you all very much.

Visting with Family

I have had the best time visiting with my extended family out in Utah this summer. It has been an amazing experience. I feel I am in a place in my life where I need to be surrounded by family. I have been spending time in Las Vegas, St. George, and Salt Lake City the last few days. I have been able to visit with cousins, catch up on life with each other, meet new family members, and really get to know each person for who they really are. Enjoy! I have added a few more pictures of the kids posing with me. I had such a great time visiting everyone! Thank you so much for everything!

I am excited to say that I've finally made it to another wedding out here in Utah. The last being Cobi's wedding with Brigham. Since I finished with school in eary May, I was able to take the time to come out and spend some time out in Utah. Thankfully I was able to enjoy the wedding of my cousin Ellie. Here is a picture of all of us together. When we were kids we had all four of us together in a picture so we decided to update that picture since this was a rare opportunity that we were all together at the same time. It was a beautiful ceremony. I wish the best to all three of you who have recently been married this year. Sad to say I still have some time till I get married.

Welcome!

Hey everyone! I was in Utah visiting family and they said I should make a blog so here I am. I am new at this so be patient as I learn and add things. I also wanted to say Thank you" to everyone in Utah for being so generous and kind and loving. Your generosity overwhelmed me and made me feel very loved. I appreciate everything everyone has done for me while I have visited and I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart! I love you all!
