While driving home yesterday we came to the conclusion that we are (functioning) travel hippies. I think we sleep at our house maybe fifty percent of the time.
We spent the last week in Utah + Idaho + Park City. And ohmygoodness, I am tired. It was a happy, sad, emotional, fun, long, full of family, lots of tears, good week. Is that even possible? I worked at the salon for two days and tried to help my mom pack as much as I could. We spent part of the weekend in Idaho for our nephew Jack's baptism. All of Ryan's family, sans President & Sister Howes, were there. It was really fun to see and be with everyone. We spent the Fourth of July with the Gleave's at a cabin in the Canyon's Resort in Park City. We bbq'd & made root beer floats. It was so beautiful & felt like heaven to be in jeans and a shirt, Utah really does do summer right!
I took a bazillion photos, especially of my parent's house. It almost felt like if I just kept taking pictures then I would be okay. I found my self walking through the house and yard being flooded with so many memories I think my head almost exploded (!!). Memories are happy & so good! When things are taken away from us, memories and photos are all we have to cling onto, and I am thankful for them. I really am.
We are off to California tonight. I am in need of some serious hair therapy and a mini girls get away to Santa Monica. I can hardly wait! Ryan & Davis will be staying in Temecula for Ryan's work. Please inform me if you happen to see a new blog post from my husband. Chances are it's something along the lines of this, and that's not good.
We love the Hickcox's
Idaho.

50% of the time, really? I was thinking more like 20%! (=
My heart goes out to you and having to say goodbye to the home you grew up in, that would be hard! But you are right, memories and photo's are all we have to hold onto and we can be so thankful for them. It is a very beautiful home!!!

Loved seeing you guys even just for a few minutes. Can't wait for you to come back in town and hopefully we'll get a little more time together. You guys look great as always! Give that little Davis a hug from us. Owen keeps asking 'do you know where my friend Dadis lives?'
