Some last minute fun

When we accepted the transfer back to Utah, we only had three weeks before Chad needed to be there permanently. So in the middle of trying to get our house on the market and start packing, we decided that we better take some last minute trips before we leave. My parents had already planned a trip to visit so we headed up to Iowa with them to spend time with my brother and his wife and their son Elijah. The kids had a blast together and we all had a great time checking out Nate and Kristin's new stomping grounds.

Then we took a trip down to Branson, Missouri to check out all the action.

Enjoyed the scenery-

Chad and I fell in love with the rolling hills of Missouri!

It's not flat like most people think

The best part of that trip was stopping every hour to let Carmyn go pee.

No rest stops or potty's for miles- ya we're a little white trash-
Chad mastered the side of the road hover method.

Lots of daddy daughter time-

We know Chad is going to be gone a lot in the next few months while he gets his new area going. So we have to enjoy him while he's here!
Fancy Nancy was the book of the week-Pretty sure they read it 100 times.

Finally one last girls night out!

I love these girls- I'm going to miss them so much!

Some well earned R&R at the spa for Tiff's B-day!

We flew home yesterday and I cried the whole way.

Kind of ironic that I cried the whole way to Missouri the first time too :)

I'm feeling a little lost right now- I shouldn't feel that way- I'm home. I think it's just going to take a little time to settle back in. We feel so blessed that we got the opportunity to come back so soon. We both thought it was going to be a struggle to get home but it all seemed to work out perfectly.
