Happy, Sad

My beautiful sister, Abbi...



is now married to Chad C* and wonderfully happy!




Abbi and Chad took off on their honeymoon to Hawaii, while we stayed in UT to have a little family reunion.



We got to visit my Grandma and Grandpa H* who may not be on this earth much longer.



We walked the grounds of the place Mike and I were married eight years ago -


The Salt Lake City temple



And now we are home and I am depressed. I am so grateful for such a wonderful vacation, but I always come home feeling sad that it is over. Getting back into normal life is hard. Seriously, today was like a day from my first trimester - hard, hard, hard! I know my sisters have the same thing after a vacation. Do any of you have the post vacation blues?

Do I ever! It takes me awhile to get unpacked when I get back sometimes (esp. this time because I've been sick for like a month!) But the GREAT thing is, you get to come back and decorate and finish getting ready for that sweet little bebe to come! Hurrah!

Beautiful pictures! Thank you so much for preserving such wonderful memories! I will always remember how wonderful it was to be together, to laugh and enjoy life, to feel the Spirit in the temple, to feel the Savior's love and our love for each other. That's hard to leave behind. So I decided I won't leave it behind, I will carry it in my heart forever.

You never called me back.... Can I watch your kids for you tomorrow?

I always get post-vacation blues. It's so hard to go from fun, fun, fun every day back to the same old, same old of every day life.

AUDGE!!! I MISS YOU ALREADY!! I want to live by you & Jessi! You guys are the greatest and I love your family too! The boys had so much fun playing together!
Awesome pictures. I am glad you had such a great time and Abbi looked so beautiful, but then again, so did you and Jessi too!
Now you get to move into your home!!! YAY HOORAY for you!!

Good to know that I am not the only one who gets depressed after a vacation!

Shana, move over here to GA! We need to be closer! I wish we could.

And John, I am happy now. Just to know that somebody likes my blog and misses me when I am gone makes me feel better!
