Trip to Utah

This is picture over load! Eric had to go to a conference in April for a week. I did not want to be home for a week all by myself and it was the same week of finals and a bunch of stuff going on in Utah so I headed there for the week.

Monday- I flew into SLC from Houston just in time to Welcome Elder and Sister Warnick (Grandpa and Grandma) home from their mission. They have been serving in the Little Rock Arkansas mission for the past year and a half. These were their mission shirts. They sent them to all of us for Christmas. It was great to have them home. 

Tuesday- We started moving McCall into her apartment in Provo and had a shower for my cousins fiancé at a sushi place called Tsunami.

Wednesday- McCall and I went and got our toes done (I haven't found anyone here in Houston that can do my toes as cute as this lady in Utah. Whenever I go to Utah I have to go and see her). I took Morgan lunch to school and we ate it in the car and then we all went and saw the movie "Heaven is for Real". I loved it! I saw the movie, and then read the book in 2 days. 

Thursday- I was driving to UVU campus to a review for one of my finals and saw the Hunter Hayes van. I went to my review, ate lunch at Cafe Rio with a friend and loved every bite of it (There is nothing like Cafe Rio in Texas), and then my mom took my sisters and I and our 3 cousins to the concert. It was Dan and Shay, Danielle Branbury, and Hunter Hayes. It was such a great concert. 

Friday- This day consisted of McCall and I shopping at City Creek, watching Macie at her dance competition, eating more Cafe Rio (I will never get sick of that place), and helping McCall move some more stuff into her apartment. 

Saturday- Now this was a busy day. We went to the Temple early that morning because my cousin Christopher got married. I love these two so much. Christopher and I grew up the best of friends. We would always share steak and caesar salad when we would go on family vacations, hold hands at Disney World (I saw a picture of this), and we went on double dates in High School. Their wedding day was gorgeous and it was great spending time with the Savage side of the family. 

As soon as the Temple part was over, I rushed to the Airport to pick up Eric. He flew into Salt Lake that morning just in time to go to my Great- Grandma's "90th" birthday party. This is my moms grandma and she is such an incredible woman. She had a big party and all of her friends and family were there. I love this woman and hope to be half of the lady that she is one day. I talk to her on the phone once a week and cherish the memories that we have. 

After the big party was over, we were off to BYU so Eric could give McCall a tour of campus. Eric lights up whenever he can go back to BYU and he was so happy that McCall is going there for the Spring and Summer. We are for sure big Cougar fans in our house! 
After the tour in the pouring rain, we headed to my cousins reception for the rest of the night. 

Sunday- Today was mine and Eric's one year anniversary! We did not bring our frozen cake to Houston so we got lucky that we were there on our anniversary to eat it (Another post on our anniversary). We spent the day going to church, having another party for my great grandma, seeing some of Eric's family and friends, and spending the last day that we had with my family.

Monday- We headed out today after Eric had an orthodontist appointment and we said bye to everyone. Back to Houston and the heat and humidity!

It was so great to go back to Utah and spend time with our family. We got back to Houston and then Eric had to go out of town on a work trip the next day for 2 nights. That was rough but I finished my finals and then got a case of strep throat as soon as we got back. Good thing we came back when we did. I have a week off school to get better. I told Eric I can lay in bed all day and read by book and not feel bad about it at all.
