So I gave myself two solid weeks to unpack my bags and get situated before I re-packed and boarded yet another plane. It was a short flight this time though. Thank goodness.
My little brother Evan graduated from high school the weekend before last and I was so happy to get to be there for it. And it was so good to see my family - it had been a year since I had been home.
It's never a small event when my family gets together either, so as you can imagine there was a LOT of food and a lot of people. All weekend long. All in celebration of Evan. He's such a smart kid and I'm really proud of him. He's going to Metro State in Denver this fall to start his pre-reqs for the architectural engineering program. Way to go, Ev!
Anyway, it was a short little trip to Colorado, but it was a good one. Family, friends, food... I mean, what more could you ask for? Good times had by all.
The sibs, minus one. Don't worry Traci, we'll be taking a lot more pictures like this in September.
Mom and Dad, me and my Gram, and the whole gang. Most of us anyway...
"These are the moments..."
I love you, family.
After my weekend in Colorado, I spent a couple days in Utah visiting some old friends, going back to some of my favorite Utah places, and feeling like I had never left Salt Lake - everything was still so familiar to me even though so much had changed and even though it had been almost a year and half since I'd been there. It was really good to see everyone and I wish I could have stayed longer. I guess after you spend seven months somewhere, three to five days feels like the blink of an eye. Thanks for the good times friends, quick as they may have been...
YOU are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED seeing pictures of your family.
Evan was not quite two when I first met your family, he was sitting in an arm chair wearing just a diaper, the first time I met him. He's changed a little. What a good lookin' kid too!
But seriously though, you are beautiful.
