Back In The States

I'm back! Back to the USA and back to the world of blogging. When I got back to the states (Nov 18th) I first spent some time in Colorado before traveling around the country to visit the rest of my family. A big thanks to Jared and Katie who let me stay with them since I was homeless for a time. I had two major priorities - to find an apartment and to buy a car. I was able to find an apartment and had a move in date of December 10th. Also, with Brent and Ashley's help, I was able to decide on a perfect vehicle for me... a new Subaru Forester! I love it! The heated seats will help me survive a Colorado Winter!

My New Car- Isn't It Super Cute?

The day after I got home, Jenny just happened to be flying to Boise, and just happened to have a layover in Denver. So, I went and hung with her at the airport for a couple hours- it was great! The real reason I came to Colorado first was so I could attend my good friends' sealing on November 21st. It meant a lot to me to be there, after all, I introduced these two! :^) It was great to be with them on Friday evening when they received their endowment and again Saturday morning when they were sealed as an eternal family. It was awesome, I am so happy for them and happy I got to be there!

Bride and Bride Maids- a year later!

Saturday evening, November 21st, was a YSA event to attend the DU Hockey Game. I went and it was a lot of fun to see old friends and have time to visit. There was a sign that was just for me... okay, I'm sure it wasn't, but it was fitting!

So, from Wednesday, November 18 to Tuesday, November 24th I was in Colorado. Here are some other stories during this time:

Once I landed in Washington D.C. and got through customs, I headed out to find an information board to see where I needed to be for my next flight. I found the information board only to read a big "CANCELLED" next to my flight! I am soooo close to being home!!! So, I got to spend an extra few hours at the airport, but I did eventually make it on the flight that left at 12:20pm. :^)

After exactly 24 hours of travel time, I picked up my rental car for the short time I was going to be in Colorado. I thought it was pretty funny...

The day I got into Denver I had some time to waste before Jared and Katie got home, so I went to Target. It is pretty ironic that the first people I saw were a group of women wearing head scarfs and speaking either Arabic or Farsi! Am I still in Kuwait?

I got used to being at J&K's and hearing Cayden's "good-bye Julie" every morning. What a cute kid!

At the DU Hockey game I won 4 tickets to a DU Basketball game. I never win anything in my life, so that was pretty exciting!
