Spring Break

We may not get a spring break here at BYU but we made sure to take advantage of seeing all our friends and family who ARE lucky enough to get a spring break. 

We started out up in Heber two weeks ago where we got to visit with our good friends Anne and Micheal who drove out from Iowa. Anne and I met our freshman year living in DT and then we roomed together with Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, Molly and Courtney our sophomore year and we've been friends ever since. I always felt like Anne and I had a bit of an east coast connection since her family lived in Virginia when I met her. It was SO nice to catch up and meet her sweet baby girl. Why can't we live closer!?

Next, we took a little trip up to Layton to visit with my good friend Bridget and meet her husband and baby girl. They drove up from NM for a few days. Bridget was my BFF in middle/high school. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be just like her. When I moved out to UT, I didn't know anyone, except for Bridget. She was so sweet and invited me to hang out with her and her friends and would always offer to help me with anything. It's been too long since I've seen her so I had to take advantage of her being so close to visit.

After Layton, we took advantage of being up North and stopped by Amelia's and then went to Darin's good friend Lances place. It's been awhile since we've seen Lance and his wife Sara so it was fun to catch up with them as well and show off our bebe. 

Finally, last weekend Darin's brother was in town with his family as well as Darin's mom. Shae got to meet his little cousins for the first time! (And his Aunt Linzy and Uncle Derek). I only had one cousin growing up and he lived across the country in CA so I never really knew what it was like to have cousins, which makes me all the more excited for Shae to get to know his cousins.

Thursday night we went to the volleyball game and watched Grandma Sharon drool over Taylor Sander. He's a beast. It was Shae's first sporting event and he did great! Ra ra raing right away.

Friday night, Grandma stayed with us and let me and Darin go out on a little date to the BYU baseball game together. Then Saturday we took advantage of the beautiful weather and had a little picnic up in the canyon.

Shae's first sunny day outside experience. I didn't even think to bring him a hat or sunscreen. Thank goodness Amelia had some sunscreen. I'm new at this okay.

Sunday we went up to Amelia's in SLC. We went to church and had Easter lunch/dinner there. I somehow didn't take any Easter pictures. I blame being tired from not getting a good nights sleep the night before. 

So overall, our lack of a spring break was still pretty exciting. We sure do love our friends and family!
