Sweet Home Arizona!

Last week was SO crazy! On Sunday we had my cousins farewell, then I had to head straight to the airport to go to Alabama for work. We went to train a new company on our computer system. Lets just say it was A LOT of work. We would wake up at 5 and work like 12-13 hour days. I was exhausted! I was flying home on Thursday night and there was a huge storm in Arizona. My plane was scheduled to land at 10pm. I was sitting in my seat, looking at my watch and wondering what was going on when the captain got on and said because of the storm we had to be rerouted to Tucson. After we got to Tucson, and sat on the plane for a few hours, we were able to go back up to Phoenix and landed a little bit after 1. By the time Kris came to get me, and I got home and went to bed I had been up for almost 24 hours straight! I can't sleep on planes and after that experience I hope that I will be able to make myself in the future. So after about 4-5 hours of sleep I had to wake up and get ready to go camping!

We went to New Mexico with Kris' family for a reunion. It was a lot of fun. We rode cycles, played games, had races, went skeet shooting (which by the way, Mom Michele is an expert and hit every target she shot at!), tried to do Sobi bombs, and just enjoyed each others company. Kris grew up going to that ranch and so it was fun to see the stuff he used to do as a kid. It rained every day but it was so beautiful and the rainbows afterwards was totally worth it!

To me the best part of the trip was being able to have sacrament meeting out on the ranch. They got permission from the bishopric to do it and it was such an experience! Right when we started singing the opening song, it started raining and I just started crying. The talks were great and it was so great to feel the spirit so strong. It will be an experience that I will treasure forever. Thanks to everyone who made this past weekend such a memorable one!
