Utah Lovin'

Eric and I just spent the last 5 days in Utah and it was a BLAST! We had to come home to Houston yesterday because Eric had to get back to work and I started fall semester yesterday. It is always hard to come back to reality. The weekend consisted of spending lots of time with family, eating, and of course some shopping. We got to watch Morgan cheer at her first assembly and at her first home football game. At the football game we even got some "World Famous" Charger fries. I will always be an Alta Hawk at heart but it was fun to hang out with the Corner Canyon Chargers for a day. Morgan just got her permit and so she took me for a drive. Yikes!! I was worried but she did a good job. A couple more months of practice and she will be golden. I can't believe Morgan is going to have a license and a car in 6 months. 

We played with the dogs, saw my parents new decorations on the wall (Eric and I were surprised that my mom let them out of dad's office and gun room), and ate at my favorite places. Of course I had to have a Cafe Rio salad, some Sweet Tooth Fairy cake bites (I brought some home with me), and I brought home a 1/2 dozen Swig sugar cookies. I gave half of them to our friends from Utah but I am totally freezing my three and hopefully they will get me until November when I go back to Utah to get more. 

Saturday, we spent the day at my cousin Micah's wedding. He married Ariel from Disneyland. Her name is Sarah and she is an awesome girl. I had never been to a sealing besides me own before and it was awesome. We weren't going to miss their wedding so I am so glad that it worked out that we could be there. We love you Micah and Sarah! 

Before the reception, Eric and I went to visit Grandpa Neal's grave. Wow! I miss him more than anything but feel so grateful to have him as my Grandpa. He has left behind an incredible legacy for us all. We love you Grandpa Savage! My mom and I helped McCall move into her apartment and then Dad and Eric had to go and help her rearrange her room. All of us girls were cracking up while Dad and Eric were in their suits trying to get the bed and everything else to fit in that tiny room in Provo. 

Sunday, we were able to go to my parents ward and see dad in "Bishop Mode" and watch Macie in her last primary program. My little cousins did massages on Eric and I. They had relaxing music playing, lotion, etc. It was pretty great and Eric and I were loving it. We went to Eric's cousins for lunch and then Grandpa and Grandma Warnick had a dinner party on Sunday night so that was fun. My Great-Grandma Helen came and we had fun chatting and eating yummy food. We definitely did not go starving!

Monday morning, Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma Warnick, Austin, and McCall all came to breakfast with Eric and I before we flew out. I am so glad Eric and I were able to meet McCall's boyfriend Austin while we were in town. He is a great guy and we love him. He and McCall are the cutest together. It was awesome to go to Utah for the weekend. We had so much fun laughing, watching old videos of McCall and I singing, and just having fun. Now only three months to wait until we will be back for a week for Thanksgiving!
