Visiting Utah

I had only been home from London for a week and my traveling spirit decided it was time to travel again! I decided to head to Utah for the weekend to visit my sister and my darling nephew. I had not seen them for almost 3 months and that was way too long. My nephew, Kristoffer, is my world and it killed me to miss out on him growing up. I also needed some quality time with the sister. Thursday night, my mom and I went to the airport to see my brother and sister-in-law on their short layover in Atlanta before they headed to London (I was so freaking jealous! It took everything in me not to hop on that plane with them). We got dinner with them and then I headed to my flight to Utah. I landed in SLC at about midnight, got on the bus to employee parking, and drove myself to my sister's apartment in Murray. Luckily it wasn't a very far drive. I got to the apartment and crashed. 

The next morning, I woke up to my adorable little nephew sitting on the other couch, playing with the cars I had gotten him in London. They were still in the box and he was just sitting there so quietly playing. Goodness, I cannot even stand how sweet and cute that boy is. My sister was off of work so we headed to Thanksgiving Point for some Waffle Luv and to go to the Dinosaur Museum with Kristoffer. It was so stinkin' hot but we had so much fun!

^^This is one of my favorite pictures of the weekend. I love holding this sweet boys hand more than anything in this world!

Saturday, we headed up to Provo to go to the Provo Farmer's Market. It's such a fun little outdoors market in the park. We walked through and got some treats and barbecue. It was lovely! That night, Kristoffer stayed with his dad so Janie and I decided to do one of our favorite things: go to a Rodeo! It was so fun. We are both Southern at heart, so it felt good being at a Rodeo. 

On Monday, I got to babysit Kristoffer all day. We had so much fun! We went on walks, played in the grass, and just had some quality auntie and nephew time. This boy makes me so happy. I mean who's day wouldn't be better after seeing those big blue eyes and hearing his adorable laugh?!

^^How is it possible that he is this cute?!

Monday night, I went to dinner with my good friend Jordan. We went to Cafe rio and SubZero. We had so much fun! Jordan and I always have a ball when we are together. We also stopped by the University Mall so I could visit Kara Chocolates where I used to work. I got to see one of my best friends, Rachel! I missed that girl so much! After, we drove back to Jordan's apartment and sat outside in the car talking till I had to leave for the airport. I swear, that boy and I could talk forever. I actually almost missed the all-nighter flight back to Georgia because I lost track of time talking to him. Luckily, I got on the flight with like two minutes to spare. I had a nice, but long flight back to Atlanta. The guy I sat next to was so nice and we talked about half the flight. We were just talking about life and our goals. He gave me some really great life advice! I would say it was definitely a successful trip to Utah. The next time I head out there will not be as happy because I will be taking my best friend to the MTC. I don't know what I am going to do without her. I will be sure to let you know how that goes!
