Oh Glory! The day has come!

This is such a sad picture for me. As my Dad dropped me off and said goodbye it was like the first time I see the van. Full of tears, hugs and kisses. I hate saying goodbye and being away from my family. But those goodbyes are also filled with so much love that some how I manage. As I walk into the airport so much gratitude fills my heart for my father and his great love. He has these incredible ideas and dreams that always encompass his family and because of him my life is filled with so much excitement and one of a kind experiences. That not only are incredibly fun but are things that have shaped me into who I am. So I feel so blessed to have this one of a kind dad because I have never met a Man like him. I love you dad.. so much. Thank you.
So for all you reading this I did not format this the right way. It goes from end to start .. but oh well. Maybe next time.

Do you spot the angel in the picture. Yes.. my sweet Momma. She really is an angel and I can't wait to be back home with her. I love you Momma.


Me and Muffy on the way to the airport. We bought many of the exact same things. Things that the rest of the girls thought were outlandish and unpractical, which they were. Muffy, I am glad I have some one to back up my style! I love you.



So sad.. our trip had to come to an end. Here the girls are with the pink bags my dad bought us getting ready to get on their plane. I was so sad to see them leave me. Why! Well Hopefully I will be there in Albuquerque at the end of June because Nathan will be down there for an internship.




Here are my Wonderful sisters! I didn't take any more pictures during the trip because I was a little side tracked from all the fun. But we did some pretty amazing shopping. Had great breakfast at the hotel every morning, went to one of my loves..the Cheesecake Factory and had some great laughs and conversation. My Dad was so amazing on this trip. He took us to every store and every destination we could ever ask for.We went all over Draper, Sandy,Salt lake and Park city. For three days my Dad was taking orders from 8 women and attending to our every beck and call. The only thing coming from his lips were as... you... wish! And the amazing thing about this is He loves doing anything and all for us. How I love my dad.





This picture is really bad. My sisters got better ones. But you get the picture. It is all of us in our pink shirts in front of the temple. That was such a great night! We went to deseret book store after ward and I got some really wonderful books on Joseph Smith and the Pioneers that I am so excited to read.


My Grandad and sweet Momma. I was so glad my Grandad could come, it was great to see him. Some of these pics aren't the greatest but I didn't want to keep on taking pictures. And this is my moms camera that I didn't know how to work that well so the image are not that great.


After we checked into the hotel we went to the Garden restaurant in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It is beautiful.



Me and Lorilynn(booseshnoogs) got all of these beautiful shirts for us. I loved it and wore it every day. She had the shirt embroidered with the acronym LJ STYDE. My dad came up with this acronym and named the trip this. It means Lady Junket, Shop Till You Drop Excursion. That's pretty great. Love you Boo.


Me and Erin. Sweet Erin, she brings a lot of peace to our family amongst a lot of opinions! love you Erin.

Me and Annie(weedle). Such a great picture, it brings a smile to my face and warms my heart. Love you weedle!

Me and Sarah (sae). Just a little shout out to Sae... your new hair is beautiful and looks really good in this picture. She was a little nervous about making the bob plunge, but she pulls it off perfectly. Love you Sae!


Yes more beauty sweet Heidi. We were so glad Heidi could make it to the junket. She was so sick from her pregnancy and the Lord really gave her a tender mercy to be able to spend one day with us. I love you Heidi! My Mother and Grandad were back at the hotel taking a little nap.

More beautiful sister's Booseshnoogs, Weedle and me. Just a few nick names I like to call them.

As I get in the Van I see my beautiful Sisters! Sae, Erin, and Muffy.


My dad greeting me when I get to the airport. Always a sweet, sweet reunion!

Every year my incredible father plans a trip for all the girls. This trip is a surprise and we do not find out our destination until we are at the airport. This year it was in Salt Lake. This trip is so greatly anticipated by all the girls, that when the day finally arrives we are like little girls that just want to have fun. It is so wonderful to be with just the girls, shop, eat, and have the greatest time ever! This is the first glimpse of the van. This van makes my heart flutter with excitement and it never fails that I cry like a baby every time it rolls up. I cry because I cannot wait to see my Dad who drives to the destination to be our chauffeur. I am so humbled to see him, knowing of all the sacrifice, hard work, love and vision it takes to make and create a trip so special. I miss Him and we cry, hug and kiss! Always the perfect start to the trip. Then I cry when I see my sweet Mother, and my dear sisters and sister-in-laws because I love, miss them and relish in the enjoyment of it just being us! And I must say I was so excited to be back in Utah. I have missed it continually ever since we left. I will always love Utah!
