For the first time EVER in our marriage I went down to Salt Lake without drew, while drew wasn't doing anything else. See Drew hates (I hate it too but drew basically dies) to be apart if we don't have to be. So unless drew is going on a backpacking trip, I don't go on any trips by myself. This weekend I was going down for a baby shower, so I decided I wanted to stay for sunday to take Port to my old home ward, and then decided since drew worked friday too all day long... I'd just do a whole weekend thing.
It was really really fun, but I really hated being away from my cute husband who was a good sport but still whined the whole time.
ps. when I went to pack I came back to this
FRIDAY-
Port and I headed down and if you time it right, traveling with him is a breeze. I hung out with my mom and step dad, they had to go to a meeting at toby's school, so I hung out with my amazing Grandma Judy
then we made an impromptu visit to Wasatch Jr. High. See my old english teacher is still there (which is expected because she's still spry) and she's a teacher I got very close to, and happens to also be in my Grandma's ward. She was thrilled to see us and meet little Porter. It was a really good visit and I haven't even seen her since my wedding so it was a really big treat. When I got back I learned that a bunch of ladies from my mom's church/ward were going to dinner together. I talked my mom into going and I really had so much fun! I loved seeing everyone and honestly I love showing off how darn fun my babe is.
after dinner we went home, hung out, talked and then went to bed :)
(might I just say that porter was amazing in a new bed and slept a full 8 hours)
SATURDAY-
I woke up and tried to go see the cute cute girl that lives in the mother-in-law apartment in my mom's basement but she wasn't home (chels we are going to have to get together next time I'm down if I can catch you when you're not busy.) and then got ready to go to the UofU/TCU football game. Not only was it a game that had a ton of hype because both teams were undefeated, but it was also black out which was awesome. My grandma gets season tickets to the U and I happened to be down when she was taking members of my family. My mom watched Porter while Jarom, Brian, my Grandma and I went. All in all I really should have stayed with port because... it was a seriously depressing game. J came over to my mom's afterwards and hung out which was cool cause he doesn't get to see Porter very often, and it turns out he's pretty darn cute with him.
I headed off to Tracy's Baby shower and had a BLAST! I'm so excited for her and I love her to death! It was at this little place called LA Tart and oh my they have the best drinks :) I'm so going back every time I'm down.
Tracy came over to my mom's for a little while after the shower and just hung out. It was soo good to talk to her and I love love love that we have one of those friendships that no matter how long it's been, we just picked up like it was yesterday. She's such a sweet girl and she's going to be an amazing mom!
SUNDAY-
I went to my old ward to see everyone and got to also see Two of my very favorite People! Daniel and Carrie. I love them both dearly and I miss the crud out of them when I'm gone, so I'm super grateful I got to see them when I came down.
Seriously is he not so cute with a baby? Girls, this boy is single and such a sweetheart :) I know totally hard to believe he's not taken!
and of course the beautiful carrie :) boys she's single too so if anyone is looking for a date in salt lake, I've got one for you!
After church we were trying to hurry home to see Drew, but we wanted to see Grandpa Jon on our way up so we stopped and saw the fire station. now we took a picture of Porter's first time by a fire engine, but my dad is stationed at the airport so they don't have the traditional red ones that everyone is used to, so we'll have to get one of those later.
All in all it was an awesome trip, and I was super glad to get back into my drewby's arms :)
love that man. and the poor guy has to work 50 hours this week. I feel so guilty being able to just enjoy my little guy at home while drew is working so hard to give me that life.
last picture... can you see what's wrong with it ;)
