Utah Trip, Monday

We got up Monday morning and got everything all packed up. We went to lunch at Hogi Yogi and then headed to to Prosper in Provo to visit some people. The view was gorgeous.

It was great to see Connie. You share the same birthday in a few days. She's such a dear and sweet friend. I miss going to lunch with her at Tahitian Noni across the street and talking. Happy Birthday in 3 days, Connie!

I couldn't help but stop and take some pictures of the mountains, especially for mom. She loves and misses the mountains. Mt. Timpanogos is her favorite.

I think they're breathtaking. Especially with that white against the blue sky. What a perfect day!

We got the airport a few hours early, which was nice. We checked in at the curbside, which was nice b/c I wouldn't have been able to get all our stuff in by myself. It was sad to say good bye to Rufio. I enjoyed every minute we got to spend with her. She is such a special person to me and we're so close and she means so much to me. We will miss her. Autumn's blowing her kisses.

It was such a bittersweet experience to go back to Utah to visit. There's a lot of hurt that I left there, so that was weird to deal with those feelings. But the good and wonderful memories far outweigh the bad. And all of my stellar family and friends made it worth it. I am so sad to have to leave them again, but know it's what I have to do for now. Maybe someday I'll be strong enough to move back there. But for now I'll just have to look at these pictures from the trip and remember how much I miss and love them all. What an amazing trip!
