Longest Weekend of My Life...

So last week my Mom calls me and says that she was wondering if I would drive with Raquel and my Dad up to Idaho to drop Raquel off at school. The reason she wanted to me to go would be so that my Dad could drive his car, and Raquel and I could follow behind him in her car. She wanted me to go so Raquel wouldn't be alone, and I could help drive all that way. So I ended up missing my test on Friday to drive all the way to Utah with them. Raquel and I had fun on the way up, but we were in the car ALL day. Even through a snow storm...scary! When we got to Utah we spent the night at my Grandma's place which happens to be right above her cafe :) :) We ate breakfast there the next morning. yummy. I always have to get her famous cinnamon roll!

Here's me and my Grandma :) I think I look like her! (It was early...give me a break!)

Here is Raquel hiding her face...and my Dad at the cafe.
Isn't Karen's Cafe so freaking cute? I hadn't seen it since they moved to a bigger place. I love it! If you guys are ever in Ogden you need to stop by!
The next day we drove Raquel up to Idaho, went shopping for her, set her room up, and my Dad and I drove back to Utah. That night my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin came to eat with my Dad and I at the cafe. That was fun and, it was really nice to see our family that we never really get to see. AND FINALLY the next day my Dad and I set off back home for another 15 hours in the car. Yuck. Good thing we had good tunes. We got back really late Sunday night and I went back to school on Monday. uuggh.
Oh well it was nice spending time with family, and getting to help my sister! I also realized how much I miss the mountains. It was also nice to be up in Idaho again. Everyone was asking me if I missed going to school up there, and I do but I am also so glad I came back and married Ben. :) That part of my life was really fun, but I love my life now too. Marrying Ben was the best decision I have ever made. So yay Idaho AND Texas! I'm excited for my sister going back up there, and I hope she has a blast! Good weekend but glad it's over!

Wow - that IS a long drive. You are a devoted sister/daughter! But look at that cinnamon roll you got to eat - that probably made it worth it, right? :)
