It is so weird to "visit" St. George, can I just tell you that? Well, last weekend we went down for one of my best friends wedding. We were blessed enough to be invited to their sealing. Can I just say Wow! Besides our sealing of course, I don't know if I have felt the spirit so much, or felt the love of the couple so much. Their sealing was absolutely amazing, pretty much everyone was crying with so much joy. I want to say so much more about it and the feelings that I felt and what I could see that Tiffany was feeling but that's personal. I will say I'm so happy for them and they are perfect for each other. Beyond perfect actually. Tiffany has been such a great friend to me all these years, especially when I didn't deserve such a great friend like her. We love Tiffany and Joey very much and are very excited for the adventures we will go on and the Jazz games we will attend :)
Now, about St. George. I NEEDED this trip home. It was perfect timing, the weather was perfect we got to see so many friends. A ton of mine that I went to high school with and some of our best friends that were in our ward. (TJ & Dora so sorry we weren't able to see you two, we love you guys!) But seriously, I know I complain about being in Salt Lake a lot and I really don't hate it. It's just hard and it's different. It's change. Being back in St. George just put the biggest smile on my face the whole weekend. I was so just so happy. I wasn't worried about anything, except having to go back up to Salt Lake. After running an errand by myself I drove up on the Red Hill and stopped and just took it all in. It really was the perfect weekend and I definitely needed that sunshine before the first snow hit us here. Many of you may think that St. George is boring, or that Salt Lake is way prettier and a lot better. But not me, I'm from Dixie and if there is any chance in the world for us to go back and raise our family there I will take it, that's where my roots are. St. George is perfect in my eyes just the way it is.
Sunday before we left then we went to go see my grandparents. I've missed them so much! Anyway, my grandpa used to be an avid fisher and has a ton of stuff. So when Kevin was mentioning that he has started the hobby grandpa went and brought out one of his tackle boxes and said here ya go. Just think of me when you catch a fish :) There was more to the conversations and everything but I totally started tearing up. I absolutely love my grandparents and they are the best people I know and they are doing great for being over 90. So having my grandpa give away some of his stuff and him talking about getting rid of a lot of things lately just got to me. That they won't be around forever and that kind of makes it bite that much more to be away from them. But I love them and this blog probably doesn't make any sense because I'm already crying my eyes out. I'm very sorry about the randomness, but oh well. Guess all I needed to say in this was I miss St. George and everything and just about everyone in it. Don't take for granted the time you have with your loved ones because you never know when things will change.
