Had SO much fun in Utah!!

I had an amazing time in Utah at my Brother's wedding!  Ross and I stayed with Chris's new in law's...whom I absolutely adore!  He is so lucky to have such an awesome family there to support them!  Since my family is scattered from Alabama to Washington!  The wedding was beautiful, the bride and groom looked amazing!  It was soooooo nice to be there without the kids!  That may sound terrible, but I felt like a kid at Disneyland! lol    It really was so much fun!  Fast but a blast!  Wow I just Rhymed! lol OK enough being a dork!  So the  Rehearsal Dinner was Friday night at the Spaghetti Factory in Provo.  Then the wedding and Reception was at a  Country Club in Orem, which was a beautiful location!  Then Sunday was my Sister Jens Birthday, and we went to Breakfast.  I know it was Sunday, but ya got to eat!  And then My Mom Dad and Ross and I got to go to the afternoon session of General Conference!  Which was amazing!  The talks were all awesome!  Even though President Monson spoke earlier that day, he still got up to close the session.  And the Spirit I felt when he started to talk, and being in the same room was indescribable!  I was defiantly in the same room with a Prophet of God!  I felt like my whole body was on fire, in a good way!  It was amazing!  Oh and after we left the conference center, and went over to Temple Square we got to see Elder Orr, who is serving a mission in Salt Lake from our Ward here in OKC...It was fun seeing him!


After Conference we met the newly married couple in Park City, to have dinner, and Ross, and my Dad and I rode the Alpine slide!  I haven't done that since I was a kid, it was so fun!  I felt like such a dork, my face hurt when I was done from smiling and laughing the whole way down!  And the view....man its beautiful there!  All in all....a great trip!  Thanks so much Groves family for letting us stay with you, we love you so much!

Next up, Arizona for my Jessica's wedding!  So excited!

Weekend trip to Houston

On September 11th we were in Houston visiting friends.  They invited us to come down to be a support to their 3 kids who were getting Baptized.  And they asked Ross and I to be God Parents!  We of course were very honored, and headed down to Houston for 24 hours basically!   It was very interesting to attend services for an Episcopal church.  They were very welcoming!  It just confirms in the end that we all are seeking to do Gods will!  The Priest even told me that they have a traditional joint service with the Mormon Church that is just next door to them, every Thanksgiving!  How awesome is that!  Thanks Lopez Martinez Family, we love you!


Here are all the kids before we went to the rehearsal for the baptism!
