Brooke & Travis's Visit to Utah

At the beginning of September, Travis & Brooke came up to Utah for a long overdue visit. They kept a very busy agenda but managed to spend quite a bit of time with me. I picked them up from the airport on Thursday (Sept. 6th) and we spent the evening together. We ate at Chili's and drove around South Jordan so I could show them the city I live in. We drove up to see the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple, which is just about 2 minutes from my house. On Friday, we went up to Salt Lake to visit Temple Square. Travis had never been through the conference center, so we took a tour and then visited the Tabernacle. After that, we went up to Park City, intending to visit the outlet stores and then go walk through downtown Park City. After almost 4 hours of shopping, we were exhausted and decided to just go home.

They spent most of the day Saturday visiting Brooke's friend in Provo, and then they drove up to Ogden for a wedding reception & get together with some of Travis's mission buddies. (If you want to know the details, you can read it on their blog). I had to work on Monday, so Brooke & Trav came down to go to lunch with me & spend a little more time with me. I drove them to the airport that evening and sadly said goodbye. I had so much fun with them here. I haven't had an opportunity to spend time with them since they got married (besides Meghan & Steven's wedding) so this was quality time with them. I enjoyed getting to know Brooke more and I'm so grateful she's family. I love my family--all of them! It's hard living far away from everyone but it has been fun having them come visit me throughout this year. Me & My Trav saying goodbye at the airport
