Utah and Family!

Last week Addy and I had the last minute opportunity to go to Utah to visit my family! I am so glad that things worked out so that we could go. Here's the story: When we were in Hermiston for Spring Break my mother in-law mentioned that she was driving down to Utah in 2 weeks from Friday to Friday! The wheels started spinning and I asked if she would mind if me and Addy joined her. She didn't! However, Tyler and I could not figure out a way for me to get to Hermiston to be able to go. Tyler needed the car and understandably did not want to drive 6 hours after being in school ALL day. As it got closer I started looking at train and bus routes to Hermiston to see how it could work out. I got my shifts covered at work. Wednesday (2 days before my mother in-law intended to leave) Tyler came home from school and said "Do you still want to go to Utah?!" I of course said yes! and he said okay! I couldn't believe it! His patient had canceled for Thursday afternoon and he was willing to drive me to Hermiston so I could go! Thank you cancellation patient! I was so excited! I was so grateful to Tyler for being so willing to sacrifice 6 hours just so I could go see my family! I love him! I called my mom and asked her if she would like to see Addy and Me on Friday, she said "this Friday!??" and I said yes. She was shocked!
So, Susie and I left at 7 am on Friday and drove to Utah. Addy was sooo sooo sooo good! I am so glad! She was kept busy with snacks, puzzles, shows, and books. Just when she would start to get a tiny bit crabby I would tell her "night, night" and she would take a nap! How did I get so lucky?! I have no idea! I love her for being so good! I'm sure it made Susie not regret taking us a long for the ride!
Utah was so fun! It was so nice to be with my family! I haven't seen them since Christmas and was missing them.
We played games, hung out, watched tv, took pictures, talked, shopped, went to the park, played with the kitties and doggie, and just had fun! It was nice to see my sisters and brothers and get to know them a little bit better. Also, my sister in-law Camilla was there visiting her family and I got to see her and my little niece, Kennedy, for the first time! She's so cute! I'm so glad I got to see her when she was still somewhat tiny! Can't wait until her and Addy can be best friends!
Addy LOVED all the attention she got from her Aunts and Uncles. She's a little spoiled being the only niece/granddaughter on my side of the family!
