We are home!!!

Ok, we actually have been home for almost a week but I have been trying to get back into everything and haven't been feeling the best. I am so happy to be home, just wish it wasn't Florida we had to come home to:) As for our trip it was good. I can't say it was wonderful because I believe that we were in the car everyday of the trip. But it was really nice to see all of our families and meet new ones. The weddings went great, both looked just great. The first wedding (Gabes little sister) was at the Portland temple and in the church building. The church was done up very nice and besides the cake getting there 10mins after the reception started it was great. And I am sorry I don't have but three pictures from that one and they are off my phone because I forgot it at the house. The 2nd wedding (one of Gabes older sisters) was in the back yard of his parents house. It also went very well and was very nice with no rain. We were all worried that it was going to rain all week but thankfully the sun come out a few hours before and it was wonderful, a little cold but wonderful. I did get pictures of that one, seeing how I couldn't forget it when it was at the house. After the weddings we went to see my brother who lives a few hours away in OR. We stayed the night with him and got to see a lot of my side of the family. Next we took the 9 hour drive to my parents in NV. There my dad and the rest of my family got to met Adeleah for the first time. I got to met Lydias baby Ira and my older sister Jodies fiance and his two kids. The only one of my family I didn't get to see was my brother Mike who is in ND. (He just got a job there and hopefully soon his wife and son will get to be with him. Anyway, after that we went back to Gabes parents and we all flew out to CO and then got in the car and drove to SD for the family reunion in Custer State Park. The reunion was fun and it was nice to met some of Gabes dads side of the family. The state Park was really nice and we saw wildlife everyday. One day we took a 6 mile hike, that you had to cross the stream about 17 times. We also saw Mt. Rushmore and more buffalo then I ever thought I would see in my life time. And I would like to say a big thank you to those who put on the reunion, it was great. Well finally we made it back down to CO for the last night of our trip, we stayed in a really nice hotel with Gabes brother and sister in law. That night I took Adeleah swimming for the first time. I don't think she knows what to think in a pool, but it was fun to take her. Anyway after 25 days of being gone we flew home and let me just say it is nice to be in my own bed again.

Update on Adeleah, she is doing great, growing, and just wonderful.

P.S. If you want to see pictures from the trip you can go to the right and there is a link to my photos. Hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful summer.
