Utah.

Thursday night Wolfgang's parents flew in from Austria. Friday morning we all caught a flight to Salt Lake City, to attend General Conference. It's been a great weekend to become spiritually uplifted, enjoy the beautiful weather, and to meet up with friends and family.

When you are a member of the LDS church, the world seems to become a lot smaller. I have never been to Conference without seeing at least a few people that I know from home, or more in particularly, from school in Idaho and Hawaii.

Yesterday I randomly came across a dear friend of mine from high school who was a foreign exchange student my senior year of high school. The last time I had seen him was when one of my best friends and I had said our excited, yet sad goodbyes to him, at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT. We knew that it could possibly be the last time we would ever see him again in this life, considering his home in Brazil wasn't exactly just around the corner to visit.

As we had a few minutes to say hello yesterday and to catch up, we realized the day we said our goodbyes, was around 5-6 years ago. Say whaaaat?? We couldn't believe it. Oh, how time flies.

The last two night one of my (2nd) cousins kindly let Wolfgang and I stay with her husband and adorable two boys. I couldn't believe how much the boys had grown! The oldest 3, and the other...probably about 1 1/2. The last time I had seen the youngest, we was only a few weeks old. They are both so precious and lively little boys.

It's been a good weekend, and tomorrow we continue our travels with the in-laws to southern Utah, then off to good ol' Vegas!

Funniest personality, and enjoyable to tease. Maybe someday we'll have an ugly funny dog, too.

Today marks the end of our long weekend road trip to Utah. This past weekend we went on our little Mormon pilgrimage to Salt Lake City to watch General Conference. We had tickets to watch it live for Saturday morning and it was a real treat, especially since Wolfgang has never seen the huge conference center.

It was an enjoyable weekend spent catching up with many of my old roommates/ Wolfgang's mission friends whom we have not seen in several years. I miss those girls so much and which I could be around them more often, but I enjoyed the time I had with them. I had every intention of taking pictures, but got caught up in the moment of catching up/laughing/reminiscing in such a short amount of time.

This was also a weekend of blessings. I'll try not to get too wordy {since I've probably already lost your interest in not having any pictures}. Let's just say that we had several "incidences" with our car this weekend, that could have ended up possibly canceling our trip altogether, having a lot of car damage, and costing us a lot of money. Thank the heavens above that we had good Samaritans, talented car gurus, and trusty and honest friends to help us out and make our weekend still happen, worry-free, and very cost efficient.

It was a good weekend, and now it's go time on really convincing people to hire me.

what is this white stuff? haven't seen that in a while. had a good day in Page and enjoyed the beautiful weather; now off to Utah!
