Ok, so I'm pretty sure that my birthday this year was one of my best yet. After I wrote last night Ann and Maddie came home...and they gave me a game called Imaginiff (which I can't wait to play at FHE!) and had made me some pumpkin bars (they were super good!!!). Ann (because she knows I like to play games) and I played a round of Spit (which I think is the same thing as Speed in Canada). We then stayed up until 2 this morning talking before heading off to bed. She's so awesome and I really enjoyed that time getting to know her better.
This morning I packed up and got all ready to leave (and I was so sad) and then Adam and I talked with Maddie and Ann and made the decision to stay an extra night and drive all the way back tomorrow. Soooo we ended up spending the afternoon in Lehi (at Deseret Book and Walmart), Alpine (at a super awesome candy shop...which made me miss Zacks :( ) and at Thanksgiving Point (in the Dinosaur Museum!). It was a blast. There was a quote that I found at Deseret Book which I really liked... "When someone you Love becomes a Memory that Memory becomes a Treasure". It made me think of Curtis especially, but also Owen too...and Josh, and my Grandma. I have many Memories in my life that have become Treasures and that quote really hit home with me today. Yesterday watching the bloopers from YSA Christmas I'll admit I got a little teary eyed. I had been purposefully avoiding watching anything with Curtis in it yet because I didn't feel I was ready for it, and I think I was right, but at the same time I'm glad that I got it over with. Anyways it was really nice to see that quote today.
I have really enjoyed my time out here, and I'm going to be very sad to say goodbye tomorrow...and there's no more plan changing that can happen to make it better :( I'm so glad I've had this opportunity to spend this time out here... I'll be posting my final trip post tomorrow!
