On November 11 William, Henry ,and I flew to Utah so that William could defend his thesis for his masters degree. I was beyond excited this was my first time away from all the kids for more than a night in about 7 yrs... It was way past due. The flight went great. Henry did good. We got into SLC around 8 at night and headed to Orem where we stayed with my friend Driel. We met up with Pearl at our old house and then headed to Driels. Word cannot describe how excited I was to see her again. It has been a hard adjustment for me in Ohio so it was nice to see a good friend. Thurs was spent loathing around in jammies till about 3. It was so relaxing. We cooked, laughed, and it was like I was living in Utah again.. Boo Hoo I am not... Friday was the big day for William. Pearl and I went to his defense even though we had no idea what he was talking about. He did a good job and past with qualifications which means he just needs to do corrections. I am so proud of him and what he has accomplished over the past nine years. Yeah it has been bumpy but he has made it this far. After the defense Pearl and I met up with some of my friends for lunch in provo. Friday night we went out and celebrated! Williams parents were supposed to come up saturday, but because of weather and health problems they were not able to come so we decided we should go down there so we packed up sooner then we were supposed to and headed to Rexburg.. It was bittersweet. We went and saw my grandma, got one last Red Mango and headed down. We were able to get together with his parents and 3 of his sisters. It was a good. time . We headed back to SLC sunday and stayed at a hotel Sunday night. Monday we met up with Williams niece and her husband. Then headed to the airport to go home. I really didn't want to leave I needed about another week or two to debrief before being thrown back into life. We arrived home early tuesday morning, kissed the kids and went to bed for a few hours. Woke up said goodbye to my parents who made it possible for me to go to. Thanks for watching our kids. I think they were a little too excited to leave that morning. Why?? Anyone when it is all said and done we had a great time, enjoyed seeing family and friends, but we knew Ohio is where we are to be right now... Boo hOO I also forgot one of the highlights of my trip I got to go running with Driel for old times sake. It was snowing, but memorable!

I am so glad you got to go to Utah with your honey to support him. I wish you could have stayed another week. I am sorry, these are hard times in a woman's life when her children are so small and require so much of her. Time is going to go quickly though. Pretty soon Jonah will be able to start babysitting and you will have more breaks away. Glad you got to be with your BFF and relax, run and laugh with her. I am so sad I couldn't come and play with you and kiss big,chunky, round and lumpy boy (hee hee) Love ya!
