Five Days Away From Home

Chris and I spent the weekend away from our apartment and had an amazing time! It was so much fun spending time with family and doing things we wouldn't be able to do in Logan.

So we left Friday night after Chris got off work. We met his brothers and their friends at a movie theater in Layton. We saw Man of Steel. To be honest, I was feeling very sick and tired that day and was practically falling asleep during the whole movie. Now this is partly because of how exhausted I was, but maybe also because it was a really long movie and it couldn't keep my attention enough to keep me awake. But I don't feel like I can give an accurate review of this movie, because I was just so darn tired.

We stayed most our trip at my in-law's house and we slept in the most comfortable bed of my life. Honestly, I want them to give us the padding that was on that bed, because that was some of the best sleep of my life. The room also had a large TV that we probably get to steal once Chris's brother's leave for their missions next week (I can't believe they're leaving next week! That's so crazy! I'm going to miss them!) and we watched a lot of River Monsters on that TV at night. It was great!

On Saturday I helped my mother-in-law Michelle at Costco and other stores to buy all the food for the mission farewells. After shopping she dropped me off at Bountiful pond to go fishing with my husband and his brother. WE CAUGHT A FISH!!! Well Chris did, but I was positive that I was bad luck because on all the fishing trips Chris goes on, if I went with him, we would never catch anything. But we actually caught something and I was so excited!!! For dinner on Saturday we ate at Red Lobster. Oh my gosh! I love Red Lobster! So yummy! Except Chris and Kellin freaked me out and I may never have lobster or crab again...


Sunday was Devin and Kellin's farewell talks in sacrament meeting. They both did a fabulous job! They are going to be such good missionaries and Washington DC and Mexico are both very lucky to have them. Afterwords we had a great lunch of barbeque pulled pork sandwiches and many other delicious treats. We went fishing again that night and had a fun relaxing day.

Monday we didn't do much. Chris worked hard all day to get Tuesday off of work and we went to Kohls to return some of our wedding gifts and to get me a swimsuit for Tuesday...

Tuesday we went to Cherry Hill!! I had never been to Cherry Hill before! I was so excited because I absolutely love swimming! Chris and I went to a pool a while ago but I couldn't swim because of my stitches (which I realize all my readers probably don't even know about, but they're mostly healed now so everything is fine). I really liked Cherry Hill except the dragon slides because I kept falling over and a bee was on me and attacking me and it was really scary! :)

Also on Tuesday we drove down to Sandy for the US soccer world cup qualifier! IT WAS AMAZING!!! My face got sunburnt, I got a scarf and I got to watch an amazing soccer game! It was super fun to be there with Chris and his family! It was a blast! That night we stayed at my parents house in Sandy and I got to catch up on all the Dance Moms episodes I've missed since Lifetime doesn't allow me to watch it online for free anymore. I'm still upset about that, but knowing my mom will always record the episodes for me makes things better.

Wednesday we drove back to Logan. But not before stopping at a Blockbuster that was going out of business. We bought six movies for seven dollars! Totally worth it spending an hour searching through DVDs. I love car rides with my husband because we always sing really loudly to music and take a tally on how many people we see driving distractedly (more on that later).

I love spending time with my husband! This weekend was incredible! Now it's back to reality and searching for a job... I LOVE MY MARRIED LIFE!!!
