I moved.

In August I moved. Well, technically I moved a couple times. 

I moved from Saratoga, the house I was house sitting, to my apartment back in Provo. 

No offense to Provo, wait, YES offense to Provo: YOU SUCK. 

It was all welcoming and nice at first and I even bought into the wonder of P-Town. 

But then, like a horror movie, things changed and I started to see it's true colors. Now, I can't blame Provo for everything sucky that went on during that year, but it sure helps. I was super inactive in church. I went to church a grand total of 3 times during the first couple months of the year. And from May onward, I only went to church a couple times, but not at my correct ward. Part of the blame goes to my job, which likes to have me pass out pills and take care of people on Sunday. I like to think of it as "Healing on the Sabbath." But things got busy and I don't like Provo and so something had to change.

So I took the Mindy of the Provo. And yes, the Provo had been out of the Mindy for a long time.

I moved to West Jordan, up by Jordan Landing. I live with Annalie, my bestest buddy from school, and it's been a really good time so far!

New furniture makes me happy.

Beautiful bed.

My ward is really good. Not falsely amazing, like Provo was at first, but deep down this is a good ward. Now, (don't judge), but I've only been to this ward 3 times since I moved in. But it's definitely not my fault. It's work and General Conference and the Temple dedication's fault. I'm really happy to be at church and in a ward that doesn't creep me out. I spoke in church on the 21st. I have a calling. I go to institute willingly. I've even been to a few activities. And it's been good.

Our townhouse is great. I love it. I have a pretty pretty bed and I like living here. 

Utah County on the left, Salt Lake County on the right.
It was a clear choice. God approves.

Family Trip

Well, now that It's been a few months, I thought I'd tell y'all about my family trip to Santa Cruz/San Francisco!

 

We talked my dad into renting a van for the occasion, the best idea we had. Mom, Dad, Ryan, Connor, and I were in the van and riding in style. I got the back seat. Captains chairs, in the middle, went to the boys. We started out driving on Tuesday in the morning and drove to Reno.
I actually read a book on the way. Chronicles of Narnia. Quite an accomplishment for me since I hate reading.

At first glance this picture is adorable.
But what really happened was that
Dad wanted to hold the Old Lady's
hand while crossing the street.

We got to Reno, and quickly figured out that unless you were there to get drunk or gamble, there was not much to do there. We walked around a little bit. Met up with family, ate dinner at a buffet, and got our rooms at Harrah's. Lowy, Kevin, Jon, and little Kent met up with us late that night. I got to share a room with Lowy, Jon, and Kent. Jon likes to sleep in his underwear and yell "Mindy, don't look!!" haha.
We got up, got ready, and went to Denny's for breakfast as a family. So much fun. I have the best family in the world.
We got back in the car and drove on to California. Ryan drove for part of it and didn't even kill us.
One of the funniest parts of driving was how fancy our van was. Two tvs, plugs for an X-box, dvd player, satellite radio. Lots of buttons and fancy things. Well, at one point we were driving in front of Lauren and Jon and my dad says, "Should I deploy the tacks?" As he reaches for a button, my mom says, "Don't! There's a baby in there!" We erupted in laughter for a long long time.
We made it to Santa Cruz and drove to our KOA cabin.

Our first view of the beach.

That cabin was made for 6 people to stay in it. And even that was pushing it. Of course, there were 9 of us! It was interesting, to say the least, to fit us all in there when we didn't have all of the beds out.

The bathroom was as big as
this mirror. True story.

We met up with family and tried to make some plans for the next few days. We drove down to the beach and got to play in the sand and watch the ocean for a little while.
I love the ocean. There is something so peaceful and calming about it. The sand is nice and soft and warm, the ocean makes soothing noises, the waves lap against you. The water was freezing! But we ran around and Kent got his first experience with the sand. He loved it.
We went back, ate dinner, and made a campfire.

Dad and Kevin had a "jiffy pop"
competition. Kevin won.

So cute.

Something I totally love about our family is that we all have gotten to the point where we like to go to sleep early, around 9pm, and wake up early. Around 6. It was great that we all ran on the same internal clock.
Mom and Dad got the master bed, Lowy and Jon were on the fold out bed, and kevin and ryan got the bunkbeds. Connor and I had air mattresses on the floor, underneath the kitchen table. We had to move some chairs outside to make room for us.
We found out really soon just how severe Connor's snoring problem has gotten. It was awful. We were miserable trying to get to sleep. Around 11 or so, Jon got up out of bed, told Lauren he was going to sleep in the car, and as he was leaving he said, "Connor, you suck!" SO funny.
We did get some sleep. Connor said he slept really well. We gave him a really hard time about it all day. We kept saying, "Every time I yawn today, Connor, I'm going to hit you!" We ended up taking a vote and he spent the next two nights sleeping in the car. Mom and Dad were a little mad that we banished him like that, but we did not feel bad one bit. He snores like crazy.

The next day was our Santa Cruz day. We spent the morning taking a ride on a train through the redwoods. It wwas a lot of fun. I love spending time with my family. Most of my cousins and aunts and uncles got into the caboose of the train. We were funny and loud. It was a pretty ride. At some points the train would go really slow and we thought we were going to get stuck on the hills, but it went well.
We drove down to the boardwalk afterwards and put on our swimsuits and played at the beach. The water was freezing cold, but it looked like too much fun, so me, Ryan, and Connor went into the water and played for a long while. We eventually got out and ended up burying Connor, Ryan, and Jon in the sand. Kent had a blast crawling all over the sand and playing.
After playing and getting some sun, we walked along the shops at the boardwalk. I bought a sweatshirt. We ate deep fried oreos and twinkies.
We went back to the KOA and went into the pool for a while to wash out some of the sand we had up in our crevices. Haha. We took showers, had another fire, and spent a while with our cousins talking and laughing about the gipsies that were in a campsite up the hill. "Gipsied!" was the quote of the trip, said by Kevin. Our cousins got a kick out of that. They also got a kick out of how the Crocketts turned in for the night at 9 again.
Friday was San Francisco day! The day we had planned months before and were so stoked about. We left the KOA and drove up to the city for a few hours. Ryan drove like a champ. We made it to the city and eventually found this shady parking garage. (Oh yeah, we didn't have enough seats for everyone, so we made Connor lay down in the trunk of the van! hahaha.) The parking garage was full, but the attendant let us park, telling us to leave the keys so he could move it out of the way of other cars if he needed to. It sounded a little weird, but they do that in Korea all the time, so we did it. Ryan accidentally made the car alarm go off in the garage. Talk about LOUD! ha. We left the garage and walked to the pier.
ALCATRAZ was next! Oh my goodness, I still can't get over how amazing of an experience Alcatraz was. Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen. Riding the boat over was fun. It was a cold morning, so we were all sporting our sweaters and jackets. We made it to the island and after a brief orientation, we walked up to the cell house and got our walkmans for the audio tour.
It was amazing. It was so awesome to see where prisoners so many years ago lived. And I guess I've never really known anything about prisons, so to be able to see it first hand and imagine what it must have been like was incredible. I loved the stories of the inmates and the escape attempts. I loved seeing the bullet holes in the ground and the pictures of the scary people. I loved walking into the cells and imagining the loneliness of solitary confinement. The tour led us all over the cell blocks and outside to the exercise yard and up to the cafeteria. My family loved it all as well. Kevin said, "Don't you kind of want to root for the prisoners and want them to escape?" So true. It was such a neat experience.
We walked around a little bit more and then headed back to San Francisco on the boat.
Hunger struck. We took out our little map and decided to go up to Pier 39 and fisherman's wharf to find some food. We ended up eating at this amazing little place with some great chowder and sourdough bread bowls. So yummy. We then decided to make the trek to Ghiradelli square so we could get some chocolate. We just didn't really realize how far of a walk that would be.
We saw some pretty cool stuff on the way. A guy painted gold like a statue, street performers, bands, weirdos, markets. I love walking in the city with tons of people. Reminds me of Korea.
We finally made it after walking for what seemed like forever. The shop was PACKED with people. We each ordered an icecream and waited. It was delish. Kevin wanted to steal the cups they came in. But we didn't. We walked on a back street back to the parking garage. Grand total was 4 miles walked. Doesn't sound too bad unless you add in that we had a baby (or two....) in the group.
Our car was there and not stolen! Jon drove us home. I got to say, I don't know how anyone did vacations without google maps on a smart phone. I gave directions the entire trip to all of the drivers, even my dad. We did use the map that Mom insisted on buying and bringing a time or two, but my good old iPhone saved us.

Packed car. Connor in the trunk! Ha.

We got home that night and ate a family dinner with all of the extended family. I smiled and nodded like I could relate when my cousins talked about their kids and husbands. And I talked with the younger cousins who are still single and haven't popped out a kid yet. And it was fun. We took a few pictures, and then, in good old Crockett fashion, we were in bed around 9 or so.
Saturday morning we woke up and had to watch Lowy, Jon, Kevin, and Kent pack up. It was sad to see them go. We still had a lot of fun without them, but it would have been way more fun if they stuck around too.
The rest of us decided to go berry picking at a local field. It was a cold and overcast morning. I think I wore a long skirt and a sweatshirt. COLD. We picked blackberries and strawberries. I think we would have picked for hours and hours had we not had to have paid for what we picked. It was fun to pick them and they tasted AMAZING! We stopped by the shop and had some strawberry rhubarb pie. That was also amazing.
After that, we made our way to the beach to get in some more hours of quality beach time. It was still really cold and muggy out when we got there. I spent a good deal of time just digging and looking for shells. Cousin Jenny came with us too. She and Ryan took a nap. Connor and I ended up taking a long walk on the beach. It was so peaceful.
THEN the sun came out! And all of a sudden the beach and the waves and the water were so irresistible! We walked back to our spot quickly and run up to the car to grab our suits and suit up!
Ryan, Connor, and I then entered the (FREEZING COLD) water and stayed there for about 3 hours. It felt like 15 minutes! It was a blast. We had a boogie board and after that broke (ha) we body surfed the waves, yelling and screaming! Our favorite thing to say was "SHEE-HAW!" Don't ask. Also, my personal favorite, "Son of a beach!" haha.
We yelled and screamed and ate a bunch of sand and salt water and finally decided to get out. We packed up our stuff and left the beach. What a wonderful day.

Sunburned.

We snuck back into the KOA we were at and hurried to use the gipsies' showers. That was nice to be able to shower. We got back in the car and drove a few hours to Stockton and stayed the night there. On the way we stopped at the Garlic fest and had some pizza at a local joint. It was amazing pizza. Cloves of garlic on the pizza. YUM.
As we sat, waterlogged and tired in our hotel room that night, Ryan and I started to prank call Mom and Dad's room. Then Ryan ordered a chocolate shake. And Dad said, "Sure." and gave us his credit card to go out and find some chocolate shakes! Woot woot! We got some at burger king.
After a Sunday morning continental breakfast, we headed back into the car and drove over to Yosemite National Park. It was crowded. And hot. And we were sun burned. I'm sure Dad wasn't too happy that we were all just lazy and tired and didn't want to do much. He was willing to let us rent horses or go hike or go on a boat or something. But we were lame. We did stop at a gorgeous lake and sat there having lunch. Dad kept daring Ryan to swim out to the middle of the lake and tell a "Columbus" joke to them. (What bus killed thousands of native Americans? Columbus.) Ha.
I ended up having to pee, so we had to leave the lake and drive on.

Mom and Dad and Half Dome

We drove for what seemed like forever and almost stopped at a super creepy town for the night. Instead, we kept driving and stayed in Eli, NV. Quite an interesting place too.
Monday morning we got up and drove home. Good times.

Took this by using the timer on Mom's
camera. Impressive.

This trip was so fun. SO FUN. I loved almost every moment of it. (I did not like Connor's snoring.)

Dad and Ryan, in adjoining hotel rooms,
doing the same thing. 

I love my family. All of them. I have the best parents ever, the funnest siblings. They were the best part of this trip. The only thing missing from this perfect trip was Davy, Nat, Camden, and Alli. Other than that, perfect! Loved it.

Happy

I haven't blogged in a while.  Does anyone ever read this anyway? I have been having the best summer ever.  Yellowstone in May. You know that rocked. I went to visit Brittni and Adam in Cedar City. I missed that girl so much! And it had been too long. So long, in fact, that I forgot how awesome Adam is too. I just love those two. We went to a lake, got super sun burned, St. George, and then up the canyon in Cedar, crawled through mammoth cave, and played. I met their dog, Zim. And we lit sparklers in a parking lot on campus. I miss that city so much. I drove around campus right before I drove home just to remember the awesome years I spent there. It was a great weekend. Ryan came home from his mission!! I love that he's home. He's lots of fun and likes to constantly be doing things and make goals. Ha. It's only been like 3 weeks and he already has a job! It's fun. I've been living in April Ramsay's beautiful house. I get kicked out this week, but it's been the best! I love waking up in the morning and going to my mom's house to play all day because I only live 3 blocks away. It's been the best.  Annalie and I decided to be roommates. We've been super best friends for 3 years now and finally decided we could live together and not kill each other! Ha. We looked at a few places and found an amazing place in West Jordan. We move in in August! I'm so excited for the change of places and wards and a new start again. Work has been a roller coaster. The month of May was terrible and stressful beyond anything. But things calmed down in June and we hired 5 new nurses. I was fortunate to train 4 of them on our Rehab hall, all of whom are amazing nurses and so nice. We're lucky to have a really great team of people. I'm loving work most days. I work with some awesome CNA's that make time go faster and shifts more fun. I know it took me a while to warm up to everything, but I'm happy now. I was named employee of the month this week! I was shocked and honored! I really didn't have any idea that was going to happen, but I makes me happy knowing that my co-workers nominated me and they appreciate me.  Unfortunately and fourtunately (still undecided), I am going to look for new jobs closer to West Jordan. Hopefully at the University of Utah if I can. Annalie speaks so highly of it, I feel like it would be fun. For now I'm going to stay at my job until I figure out my future a bit more. Or until the 40 minute commute gets to me, come August. But I'm happy for now. For everything. For the prospect of change and for a great job in the mean time. I'm going to California in a week for a family reunion. I'm excited to go to the beach! And to play with my family!! We never go on family vacations anymore, so I'm really looking forward to it.  Besides all that, I work and play. I go swimming, play with my nephews and neice, chill with my sister, and find fun things to do. Like the aquarium, or the rodeo, or City Creek, or play at the park.  So that's life lately. It's happy. Boy oh boy, do I LOVE summer! I live for the summer!! I tell you what! 

Yellowstone

I was able to finally get more than two days off in a row.
I actually managed to get four off! So Annalie and I went on an adventure to Yellowstone.
I admit I was most excited to just drive my car and find out how the gas mileage did on just highway. (32 mpgs.) in Yellowstone, just going 45 and using cruise control I got 39 mpg! Rock on!
Anyway....
I picked Annalie up from her house after she had worked the night shift for 12 hours. I was so proud. She lasted until about 2pm and even then only slept for an hour and was recharged for the day. The drive was great. It seriously felt like it was just a nice afternoon drive and we made it up there by 3. We started exploring Yellowstone right off and went to a few geyser spots and then saw old faithful.
The best part of old faithful was the visitor's center. We went around and we bored until we found the kid's section. We learned a lot from this little diseased looking girl. The next best part was watching all the people wait for old faithful to erupt. Chinese people taking pictures, people asking dumb questions. And this one guy with a disposable camera that kept taking the crappiest pictures of the geyser. Entertainment at its finest!

That first night we went back to West Yellowstone and ate at a restaurant where we both ordered Bison to eat. We were so sick of the bison crossing the road and causing too many tourists to be idiots, we thought it would be great to eat one to show them who was boss. Delish!
We slept in a hotel that night. I slept great, Annalie was up at 2 and never fell back asleep.
We paced up in the morning and headed up to mammoth to reserve a campsite for the night. Lots of bison crossings later we made it and found a nice spot and put up our tent. We then decided to go on some hikes. One hike we went on had some crazy warning signs about bears that kind of freaked us out. We hiked in a little bit then got too freaked out and turned around. Haha.
We then drove around to the geysers again, ate lunch at a pretty riverside place, and continued on the "loop." Annalie fell asleep almost instantly every time we were in the car. Haha. But I woke her up when we got to cool places. Like West thumb, where we saw a bear! And Yellowstone lake. And then stopped at the mud volcano and did that little hike. Tired and worn out, we drove back to our campsite and made dinner.
We went to sleep fearing bears. I brought this book called "death in Yellowstone" about how people have died there. The chapter on bear attacks was terrifying. I thought it would be fun to read in the tent for scary stories but no! I was too scared. I didnt sleep much that night.
We ate, packed up, and started on our way up to Tower. I think this part was my favorite part of Yellowstone. Gorgeous. And hardly any people. We saw this beautiful waterfall. I kept asking Annalie what she would do if I fell of of the cliff. Basically she would leave me to die.
We did a couple more hikes. One to the "lost lake" that was so quiet and pretty. Again, scared of bears we returned right afterwards. And one to a waterfall. Then we went back on our way to see the grand canyon of Yellowstone. That was pretty and wow, I didn't pretend to fall off that cliff. Crazy.


We drove down to the Teton National park. We decided to camp there for the night. I'm so glad we did. It was breath taking. So gorgeous. And I was so happy to get out of the car and stop driving for the day. We set up camp and went down to the lake side and had some good talks about how amazing nature is and God is to create it all and how we are so glad to understand that and our place in the world. Deep conversations.
We ate a ton of food and then cleaned up in a hurry before it started pouring rain. That made me less scared of bears, luckily enough. We spent the evening in our tent, texting Cyann and reading about more deaths by lightning and falling off of cliffs. Annalie made a bracelet. And we fell asleep.
The next day we explored the Teton park a little bit more and stopped in Jackson Hole for lunch before setting out for our drive in the middle of nowhere Wyoming back home. It was a boring drive. But Annalie got some good sleep in and I jammed out to my iPod tunes.
We made it home. I was so tired.
It was a great trip. I miss it up there already. It was just a great trip to remember all the beauty in the world and that there is a world outside of work.
Can't wait to go back again!

Happy Nurse's Week

Got a call from a doctor. He starts chewing me out because his patient wasnt at his appointment this morning. I said I'm sorry but I don't arrange transport or handle the appointments. He goes off about how this appointment was important and not only that, but that he wrote it and it was a direct order from a doctor. I find myself apologizing to him again when in all reality he should apologize to me and to our transport lady who he reduced to tears. What a jerk.

Mrs. Pill popper has fallen again. 5th time in 3 weeks. She won't call for help when she gets up because it's embarrassing. I have to go console her while she's crying on the floor and make sure she's okay but also get mad at her for not being safe.

Mr. Creepy smells. But won't take a shower. We've talked to him multiple times and he just won't budge. We give up. So later when I come into his room to give him something, he yells at me for my staff treating him terribly and lets out a string of swear words to get his point across. I just have to stand there and take it.

Ms. Hypochondriac wants me to call the doctor RIGHT now for some new problem. But I know the doctor hates her and won't see her. Instead, she calls his office and yells at a nurse. 5 minutes later I get a phone call from said doctor demanding to know why she's so mad and why she called his office. Joy.

Miss Princess calls me into her room. I ask what I can help her with and she begins to tell me how inconsiderate I am for forgetting to put her sock on after I changed her bandages on her leg. I apologize but she rips me a new one for forgetting and being so terrible to her.

Ms. Talker tells me she wants pain pills right in the middle of a million other things I have to do. An hour later my CNA tells me that she is threatening to call 911 because she hasn't gotten them yet. So I drop everything to please her and have to put up with her telling me how I'm not doing my job right.

Mrs. Confused is confused again and doesn't know where she is or where her husband is. I have to break the news to her that her husband died several years ago and she just can't remember it.

I get a phone call from the hospital. "Hey, this is so and so RN from the hospital here to give you report on Ms. New lady." I put her on hold for a second and ask my manager, "am I getting an admit?" "oh yeah. No one told you??" Nope. Last to know.

Miss Tiny lady's blood pressure is super low. I run in to check on her. She's just fine. As I'm leaving the room she says, "thanks for checking on me. It means a lot." she grabs my hand and says, "Can I have a hug? I'm so lonely." I give her a hug and talk with her for five minutes. She tells me how much that helped her.

Mr Cancer returns from his check up appointment. He feels like crap from all the chemo and radiation he had to go through the past three months. I walk into his room so see how he is doing and instead he reaches out to hug me. He cries on my shoulder and then says, "They got it. My cancer is all gone! I get to go home in two weeks!" This time I give him a hug. We cry together for a few great moments.

Some days I wonder why it's even worth it. Without fail something amazing happens that reaffirms why I would ever put up with all this stress.

Happy nurse's week to all my fellow nurses. We amaze me.

Thoughts I had today while at work.

I can't wait to be sunburned. Really. I love it. The burning, the heat, the way you can hardly move because your skin might just rip. I love it. I can't wait.

Fad dieters seem so unintelligent to me. I don't applaud you. Get a brain. I hate when people congratulate you when you only eat 700 calories a day and go around bragging about it. You're going to get sick of it after a week and binge. So just stop. Idiot.

Why has nobody made a Sitcom about a nursing home?! It would be HILARIOUS and intense and awesome. I could come up with seven story lines a day.

If I could do anything right now it would be to be boating. In my swim suit, Getting burned, wet, swimming in a lake.

I should figure out life. Where I should live, where I should work, who I should live with. That would be good.

I don't see any of my friends enough.

I don't mind the smell of second hand smoke. It reminds me of Korea and big cities and I just like that.

Summer is my all time favorite. I can't wait for it!

My trip!

I took some time off work and went to New Mexico to have a best friend reunion and to meet a new little baby! It was lots of fun.

She's such a focused driver.

Annalie and I drove down together in a nice car that we rented. We didn't want to risk dying by taking our cars.

I'm so glad my phone takes amazing pictures. This wasn't even edited. Such a pretty sky. We drove down the backside of Utah. Really pretty sometimes, really boring some other times.

We stopped at the Monticello temple to walk around it. Now Annalie's been to every temple in Utah.

Pretty Windows.

We drove through Colorado. For about an hour.

An awesome picture taken by Annalie in Shiprock, NM. Random bridge. We had a good car ride down.

I was SO excited to see Lily again! I miss that girl. She's so cute. And energetic. She forgot my name a couple times, but I'll forgive her. I can't believe she's five now!

This is the little tiny Chloe. She is just perfect! New baby smell, tiny fingers, cute little feet, goes cross eyed, hardly makes a peep unless she's hungry. Just perfect.

I think Lily likes having a baby around. It might take a while to get used to it. I tried to explain what being an older sister means. It means you can tell her what to do.

She's so precious! I could have held her all day long.

 Cy, Chloe, and Lily. Words can't express how glad I was to see Cy. I MISS HER SO MUCH. It just felt so NORMAL to be at her house again. I can't explain it. Sometimes you just get lucky enough to have friends that, no matter how long you've been apart from each other, you can pick up right where you left off and not feel any different. That's how it was. Just so normal. Except now she had a different house and a little baby. But it was just so normal. I love her.

 Justin and Cyann being awesome parents. They really are great. And just hilarious. I forgot how hilarious Justin is sometimes. Cyann and I also rediscovered how fun it is to gang up on Annalie and tease her. (Sorry Annalie!)

 Lily took a couple naps on me. :)

Annalie didn't eat more than ten in the first sitting.

 Cy's cookies!! So good.

 Annalie and the little baby. She probably didn't know that I took this picture. Good thing she always looks amazing.

 Chloe even got a new name while we were down there. It sounds so sophisticated. Cha-lo-eh Ann-ah-bel-ah Ss-ha. We had a fun week. We watched tv, played with the little ones, took a tour of Gallup, learned about the Navajo nation, talked a lot about our nursing jobs, met Cy's new friends, had a private showing of "The Vow" at the local movie theater (Lily doesn't call it a futer anymore.... growing up *sniff*), bought Navajo jewelry, made great food, played games (I won!!), and just had a ton of fun just talking.
We had to leave on Monday morning because I had to go back to work on Tuesday. Stupid work.

His thumb is out and everything!

 On the way down we saw 11 hitch hikers. On the way up we saw 13!! I took some creepy stalker photos of these two.

Arizona

 We decided to stop at the four corners on the way home. I liked to snap photos of the state signs.

Colorado

New Mexico

Annalie felt a sort of zen being in four places at once.

 The four corners was awesome!! Good thing we were basically the only people there. We were (I was) running around like a crazy lunatic, so excited to be in four states at once! I even ran from Utah to Arizona to New Mexico then to Colorado and back four times in a row! Beat that, Dad!!

Going Korean for this one.

 We found some cheaper and pretty jewelry to buy at the four corners. Annalie bought some pretty earrings.

 These arrowheads are what I would have bought my family as souvenirs if I felt like they would like them or wear them. So, just look at the pictures instead and pretend that I bought them for you.

Utah

 It was snowy in Utah when we got back to our neck of the woods.

You can't tell, but we hit 13,000 miles in the car. Yay us!
Such a fun trip. I hope I can go back to visit soon! I already miss them all so so much!
Thank Cyann and Justin for letting us crash at your house and play! You guys are the best! Love you!
