Project Life Tuesday ~ Week 30

Week 30 was a BIG week b/c Autumn & I went to Utah so she could see her Dad & 1/2 siblings that she hasn’t seen in 4 years.  The last time she saw them, she was crawling.  I was so excited for her to have real life experiences and memories of her own.

Monday ~ I came up w/ a great idea for how to pack all of Autumn’s outfits since I wouldn’t be there to help her pick out outfits.  I put a pair of undies, shorts, shirt, socks, and coordinating bow in a ziplock bag so all she had to do was grab the bag and put on everything in it.

Tuesday ~ She was SO EXCITED when I told her I would come eat lunch w/ her at school before we left to go to the airport.  She wore her McDonald’s Happy Meal box on her head.

Wednesday ~ I dropped her off at Jason’s on Wednesday morning and wasn’t sure how she would react when it was time for me to leave.  She gave me a hug, waved good bye and went off to play.  I was so relieved.  Jason sent me this text of Autumn & Khloe playing at the splash park.

Thursday ~ Autumn & Jewelsy spent the morning doing crafts together.  It makes me so happy to know she’s having such a great time.

Friday ~ I had to take a picture of this playground, b/c Tara & I used to go get Taco Bell chili cheese burritos at midnight and go sit and talk about boys and college and life in general.  I miss her so much but am so grateful for the time we had together.

Saturday ~ Rufio & I drove up Provo Canyon to Heber since neither of us had been up the canyon in years.  We had lunch at Chick’s, which is like a 1950’s diner.  Their scones w/ butter and honey were divine.

Sunday ~ This time Autumn has spent w/ her siblings has been priceless.  It makes me so happy for her!

Since it was such a big event in our lives, I knew I wanted to do more than just a picture a day.  I used Design C and each day was one side.  So that meant 5 more pictures each day w/ an open bi-fold journaling card taking the 6th spot.

I knew that I wanted to include receipts, lists, menus, etc from my trip.  But, I didn’t want it to take up a lot of extra room.  So, I found a pack of 10 baseball card page protectors at the $1 store.  I put some stuff in the front 9 pockets…

…and the rest of the stuff on the back of the 9 pockets.  I am so happy w/ how documenting this week turned out.  Usually a big trip like this would never have been documented.  But thanks to Project Life, it’s documented w/ out any muss or fuss.  I have pictures printed off, journaled about, and it’s DONE!  LOOOOOVE IT!
