A weekend to Remember

This past long weekend was a quick trip to Cheyenne. I needed to take a minute and visit with my family. It seems the time just slips away and I realize that it has been over a year since I saw my brother. I loaded up my snacks, my children, a sack lunch and a few dollars for gas and headed out on the long and boring drive to Cheyenne. Jameson volunteered to drive and I decided take the chance to catch up on a few busy things to do on my laptop. (What did we ever do without them?) We enjoyed a sunny and clear road to home along with some conversation and a few minutes of shuteye for my children. After reaching my sister's home and unpacking, we quickly ate some pizza and caught up on each other's lives. Why is it we don't take time to talk more often. It is so enjoyable to share. After a good night's sleep we awoke to breakfast and another 2 hour drive to see my Brother. We arrived after a quick encounter with a Colorado state police officer, thanks to a rushed CO driver and her nice welcome bird sign in my rearview mirror. To make a long story short, don't drive in the passing lane to long, or you get a nice Colorado welcome.


After reaching our destination, we entered and found him. He looked well and when we hugged it felt so good. He has been away from our family for almost 2 years, it is a hard thing to experience both for him and for my family. During our visit I realized that family is all that is important and that we need to keep the friendships alive and strong. We have so much to offer one another and we should be helping each other to reach the goals and desires of our hearts.
We visited for 3 hours and i so enjoyed it. I surely can't wait another 2 years to do it again.
When one of us is down the other will probably help to raise him up. Family, it's the most important thing. Keep it alive!!

A burger anyone?

As we traveled to Vegas the other day on our way to Disneyland, We had to make our usual stop to the ever famous "In and Out" Burger. Now on the scale of 1-10, my husband thinks that I & O ranks up there as a 10. Granted I think it is good, but a 10, probably not. Needless to say we stood in line along with at least 50% of Vegas for the ever famous meat pattie. We ordered and waited approx 15 minutes for the delectible home grown fries and cold Dr. Pepper. It was good, but I would have to say that my favorite is Fuddruckers, Now there is a burger. Real meat and all. The best thing is you can dress it yourself, so if you are a no ketchup, extra mustard kind of person, you are in heaven. I also like there fries, they are spicy but not too. A new comer to the seen is "5 Guys" burgers, they hail from back East, and I say while they are tasty, they can't do it for me.

One of the best things about living in Utah is now we have our very own In and Out in Orem, now we can wait in our own backyard. Go out an Enjoy!!
