I spent the last few days of January at home in Utah - yeah for snow! My parents will be moving to Houston sometime soon and I wanted to go and help with a bit of the packing before I got uncomfortably pregnant. And lest any of you get worried, I didn't do any heavy lifting! We stocked up on boxes, newsprint and tape, and set to work.
Once again, I was reminded of the irony that there is consistency in change, welcome or unwelcome. It takes courage to face the changes, so I commend my parents for their faith and bravery. I was also reminded that home is not where you are, but what you make of it.
I missed my own family on this trip, and it seemed like Isaac and Ben each grew an inch since I left! I was glad to go, and glad to come home.
Here are some of the highlights:
I got to have dinner with one of my best buds, Brenda. In VA we traditionally ate lunch once a month at Olive Garden with our two other adorable friends, and we wished they could have been there with us.
I wish I had better pictures of the evening I spent with Jacob's brother, Steve, and his family, but it was really fun! The kids are growing up so fast!
I had to take a picture of Rachel's room. She's moving to an apartment this week and will severely miss her orange walls. Jacob said he even liked the color!
I got to see my Uncle Boyd. If it weren't for gray hair you might not know who was older. :)
I was lucky enough to be in Utah when my brother Matt blessed his baby, Cole.
Hey, we were only three siblings short of a family. :)

You've got the right blog song for the picture of you and Brenda at Olive Garden -- oh, how I miss you and our lunches there. That was a great time in our lives, wasn't it?
It was SO fun to see you! I'm glad you came!
Of course Jacob liked the color! It's perfect. :) Thanx Leesha.
