Monday 18th - Rachel woke up early so we cuddled in my bed and both fell back asleep for another hour which was so nice. After we got up and got ready we headed to the store to get some stuff for traveling and some stuff for John while I was gone. We spent the afternoon taking naps and working on cleaning the house and packing suitcases. John tutored after work so he didn't make it home until about 7:00. We spent the night relaxing.
Tuesday 19th - I got up at the same time as John so I could finish packing. John left a little later than normal so that he could help me pack up the car. I had a doctor's appointment at 9:00 and we left for St. George as soon as it was over. Rachel stayed awake for most of the trip but the only stop we made was in Beaver for some lunch. After we got there, Rachel had a blast playing with all the toys. That evening I took Sierra to her graduation rehearsal and as soon as it was over we headed to Gibson's GWA graduation. It was fun and Gibson got to speak because he was National Junior Honor Society president and one of the 4 students who made it through all 9 years of the school.
Wednesday 20th - We started Sierra's birthday with breakfast at IHOP where a couple of her old GWA friends met us to surprise her. After breakfast we went to Walmart really quickly for some dinner items. We headed back to the house where Rachel played and took a nap and everyone else worked on getting stuff ready. A little after 1:00 we headed to the college for Sierra's graduation. It was so weird to see my little sister graduate but I am very proud of her. After the graduation we went back to my parents house and had a delicious BBQ. My aunt Kristi and her kids came down for the graduation and then to the BBQ so it was a lot of fun to visit with all of them. We had some delicious Costco cake after dinner which I always enjoy.
Thursday 21st - Happy Birthday to me! My family started the day by making me breakfast in bed. Rachel was super excited and helped me open my presents. While I was eating I got to FaceTime with my grandma which was fun. Sierra watched Rachel for me while I got ready for the day and then Rachel and I headed to my mom's work to visit for a couple minutes. On the way back to the house I stopped at Swig for a fun treat. That afternoon my mom took Rachel, Sierra, and me to the movies to celebrate my birthday. We saw Age of Adaline and I loved it. We went to dinner at Mongolian BBQ which I always love. My aunt met us there which was really fun. My mom was nice enough when we got back to give Rachel a bath so I didn't have to. John spent the evening doing visits for our upcoming Ward Conference and didn't get home until after 9.
Friday 22nd - I got up early so that I could finish packing up. My mom helped me load the car up and then I headed out of town. My mom had gotten a iPad holder for the back of the head rest so that Rachel could watch Frozen on the way home. She liked the movie but she was in a cranky mood. We only had to stop when I would pull off the road to start the movie over or fix whatever Rachel needed fixing at the time. After we made it home I unloaded part of the car and then Rachel and I both took much needed naps. After John got home and finished unpacking the car, we ate dinner and had fun spending time as a family.
Saturday 23rd - John went on a 12 mile run in the morning. After he got home and we were all ready for the day we headed out to do some shopping at Costco and Walmart. Once we were home and had the car unloaded, John took the car over to the gas station and vacuumed it out really well. When he got back he moved Rachel's carseat over and installed the base for the infant seat. Rachel had so much fun playing in the trunk while John worked. After he was all finished we headed back inside and Rachel and I both took a nap and John got to play on his computer (he even gave in and took a little nap). That evening after dinner our friends Becca and Joe came over for games. We played a few rounds of 7 Wonders and it was a lot of fun. After they left John watched the end of the RSL game and he was very happy they won.
Sunday 24th - Since I wasn't home on my birthday John gave me breakfast in bed to celebrate (3 times in 1 month, whoot whoot). We spent the rest of the morning getting ready for church and I worked on preparing my lesson. We tried to put Rachel down for a nap but she did not go to sleep. During Sacrament meeting Rachel had lots of fun watching the baby boy behind us. After we got home John made us dinner and we spent lots of time relaxing together which is always fun. Rachel was overly tired, so we got her in bed as quickly as we could. She was just distraught, so we FaceTimed with my parents to calm her down a little bit so she would go to sleep.
