Wait, what just happened?!

Wow - December 2016. What a roller coaster of emotions. 

Seth warned me, he tried to anyway. I haven't seen him for a while.

On December 16th the kids and I drove back to Utah. 28 hours total driving time in the car. On the way there we hit a blizzard in Truckee. No chains. My knuckles were white from holding the steering wheel so tight, and the kids were laughing hysterically in the back seat. They were wonderful. How did I ever get so lucky. 

We rolled in to Stephanie's at 4 am. She was up waiting for us. First time Ashton had ever seen snow and he was happy to play in it right then. But, we had to go to sleep...

The next day we made our way to Heather's house and relaxed for the evening. I was beat up from the drive and needed to chill. 

Sunday, Shanon was scheduled to come up with Alex and his new gf to pick up Bai and take her back down to Moab. his gf didnt make it because something happened between them the night before. I got to spend time with my little Alex, who somehow is not so little anymore. My parents and my other sister Gay came over and spent the evening with us, discussing everything that we could in the short period of time that we have together. 

The next day, Monday, we made our way to Moab. Another 3 hour drive. I spent the next three days with Colton and Nikki in their cute little home. He made me breakfast, rearranged his work schedule to hang out with me, and made dinner too. What a sweet kid he is. Alex stayed with us at Coltons. We got to play this fun video game together - and I'm not one for video games, so that was interesting.
