So I am back to work now after a really great weekend in Utah. We left on Friday around 1pm, picked up some China Fun and were on our way! It was the first time for Matthew and Michelle going to Utah but we have gone to Vegas many times so that part of the trip was very familiar. We got caught in a little bit of traffic as is expected on Friday afternoon going to Vegas. But we got to Vegas fine. Michelle's mom had a cash voucher from her last trip to Vegas that she had forgotten to turn in so we stopped at the Venetian so Michelle could pick up the cash. Nice little extra. Then we ventured into the unknown (at least for Matthew and Michelle). We found a "Black Rock" road. Pretty spooky! (Lost reference) And we just had a fun ride up overall and rolled into Provo at about 3am Provo time. We stayed at Anne and Peter's apartment (thanks again) and woke up early to explore Provo. We took some great pics up in Provo Canyon at Bridal Veil falls (i will post when I get home) and saw BYU and went to Cafe Rio (Yum!). Then we headed up to Salt Lake in the torrential rain! I could barely see anything but that may be due to the fact that I need new windshield wipers. We went to the reception which was beautiful and met up with Nicole and the Cannon's. They are a really great family and were so nice about everything. We went down to Temple Square after the wedding and got hot chocolate and snuck onto the roof of the new SLC library..very fun and funny. Not too illegal, i promise. ;)

On Sunday we woke up to a broken car window! The back passenger "vent" window was completely shattered but not broken out. So we pushed out the glass as best we could. A little annoying but I couldn't really do anything about it. I don't think anyone was trying to break into the car I think maybe it was hit by a rock or beebee. Maybe they just don't like people from California...that or Nicole did it because she was trying to get us to stay! So we drove on up to Park City with an open window. We ate lunch up there then ventured back to Temple Square for day pictures then to dinner with the Cannons. Mom, Dad, Annie and Peter came. It was really good to see everyone and have the fams meet. We played a couple rousing games of MadGabs and Catch Phrase. We even got Mom to sing for one of the clues! We took it easy the rest of the night and woke up the next morning to breakfast and a long ride home. I got home at about 1:30am last night/this morning. It was a fun, long birthday on the road. Matthew and Michelle are some really great friends. I am really lucky to have them.

SO I am now back to work and back to life. Tomorrow is Lost! Woohoo! and this weekend I think I am going out to celebrate my birthday with some friends and on Saturday Michelle's sister Marisa rented out the "movie theater" room in their apartment complex and we are going to watch movies in our pjs! Should be a fun week. I am looking forward to it.

Sounds like life is good for you all! I love to read the posts! And thanks for the pictures. Sorry for no pics of the day this weekend; i was busy. I will try to find a worthy one for today...

Oh yeah Tracey I am most likely going to be at Mom and Dad's for Christmas. I will let you know if that is not the case.

Love you all!
