Weekend in Utah-Day 1

Last weekend was such a fun and busy weekend! Josh and I flew into SLC on a Thursday afternoon to attend Jessica & Eric's wedding on Friday and we had a great time seeing family and friends. It seemed like we drove & ate the entire trip!

First day in SLC
Just like the good ol' days!


After arriving in Salt Lake around 1 PM, my Grandpa was kind enough to pick us up at the airport since both my parents were working. After picking up my mom's car (which she generously lent to us for the majority of the weekend) Josh and I went over to my Aunt Cherilyn's so she could fix my color. It was so fun catching up with her and I am so grateful that she was able to fit in an emergency color after my horrible hair experience in Portland. We then went to Chili's with my dad-but failed to take any pictures all afternoon. It was a great dinner-especially when my dad asked our waitress to taste his chalky tortillas...she gracefully declined. =)


Following dinner, Josh and I went to a vocal recital where my Mom and younger brother Daniel performed. Aubrey was attending a special needs mutual, so she wasn't able to perform at this recital. Shortly after I moved to Georgia they all began taking voice lessons and I have missed every performance they have had for the past 3 years. I felt so lucky to finally attend! Dan sang a really cool civil war piece-and my Mom sang 4 pieces. I swear my Mother isn't a day over 30. Isn't she gorgeous?

I wish I had more pictures from their concert but I was worried about people getting annoyed by the crazy wannabe photographer in the front row. This concert was such a blast from the past. I felt like I was back in High School as different performers sang song like "Dirait-On" and "I'm not that Girl" from Wicked. I miss taking voice lessons!

Later that evening after my family went to bed Josh and I went and stayed the night at Brittney & Tyler's house and kept Britt company while her husband and family were out of town. It was a spontaneous decision to actually stay the night (we were way too tired to drive home) but it was fun to see my best friend a little extra while we were in Utah. Staying up late at her parents house made me feel like I was 18 again. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
