After an amazing summer in Provo, hanging out with friends and family, preparing for my mission, going through the temple, and finishing work at Heritage Makers, I have moved on the second half of my summer: time at home in California.
On Monday, Kris drove me and Michelle to the airport. We had TONS of luggage to bring. After trying to persuade our SkyCap man to let us bring on an extra bag without paying $50 ($50 for an extra bag!!?!?!), we decided to shift items in different bags and try to take on an extra carry on bag instead. We then ran inside the airport, ran through security, trying to hide our extra bag. We must have looked pathetic. We laughed the whole way through the airport, with our arms so tired from carrying pounds of crap. Oh man. I looked down at my watch. Five minutes before we were suppose to take off!!!! I told Michelle, "Run!!! We have 5 min!" I took of my shoes and we started to bolt. Come to find out, my watch was fast and we really had 25 minutes. And the plane was a little late. Needless to say, we made it to the gate, with a few minutes to spare. It was hilarious. We laughed out of lack of sleep and utter stupidity as we thought of what we just ran through to get there in time. It was an adventure.
We then arrived in beautiful Oakland, CA, where mom was there to pick us up. Yay! Wendy's for lunch. Then pool time and chinese food. It was great. Dad and Jordan were on a camping trip, so it was just us girls for the first few days. It's been a lot of fun. Now the boys are back in the house and we are going to embark on our "List" of things to do before Michelle and I leave again. Among the many items on the list, we have things to do like, "Ghiradelli Square Ice Cream, Pool, Star Wars marathon, tons of our childhood memory movies, re-inact Elf scenes, Golden Gate Park, museums, maybe the zoo..." the list goes on and on. And we only have 2 1/2 weeks til Jordan starts school! So we have a lot to do- but we are very excited. Time will fly, so we know we can't waste a single minute. I am here at home until Sep. 20th, and then its back to Provo, to the MTC to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! August here we come! Let the fun begin!
