Rat recovery...then off to Utah!










So, one day after my rat encounter, Lily and I got on a plane and headed off to Utah for two whole weeks! I was really in need of some low key down time, and despite the fact that Lily decided to become a crazy sleeper, it was just what we needed.

We made many memories with this visit, and here are just a few :)
  • Celebrating my 29th birthday 3 times with my whole family (minus my sweet husband)
  • Eating french toast at Lizzy's house
  • Discussing politics with my amazing friends, Kel, Stace, Steph, and Josette - dinner at the Dodo was delicious too!
  • Meeting baby Owen!
  • Going to Park City with my sisters and Mom
  • Frosting cookies that Aunt Emilee made!
  • Snow cones!
  • Going to the Capitol Building with Grandpa
  • Watching a moose drink "dirty water" as Lily called up at Snowbird
  • Going to the Sweets Candy Factory
  • Getting flowers from my Sweetie on my birthday
  • Heading up to Jeremy Ranch with the Roberts
  • Watching SYTYCD with Monica and Mom on my birthday!
  • Going to Red Butte Garden
  • Going to dinner on my birthday with my parents, Debbie and Ron, and Grandma Durham
  • Swimming with Lily
  • Watching Lilly, Luke, Ellie, and Parker jump in Grandma and Grandpa's moon bounce
  • Hearing Lily talk about her day at Liberty Park with Grandma
  • Catching THREE fish fly fishing with my great Dad (I think this one takes the cake)
In case you were wondering, Ryan survived our absence. I do think he missed us though. I immediately greeted my bees when we got home to find a healthy hive with good honey stores for the winter. However, I could not find my queen this time....to be continued :)
