Brian Head

The week that we had to put Karl down was so hard for us. It was getting close to the date that we planned to go through the temple for our first time, and we had so much opposition thrown our way. We just wanted to escape from it all. Our friends Nathan and Nicole invited us to go to their cabin in Brian Head, we were so excited to go spend time with them and get out Las Vegas for a weekend. We haven't been friends for very long, but it feels like Nicole and I have been best friends for years. Maybe we were best friends in Heaven! She has helped me through so much these past few months, more than she could ever know. I love her and her family, she is so amazing and I am so lucky and grateful that she is my friend! Anyways, our trip to the cabin with them was so fun! We left Friday night after Brian and Nathan got off work. It took us what seemed like 6 hours to get there. With 3 kids and 2 dogs we had to stop only 72 times.

Saturday morning while eating breakfast someone noticed that there was a bee hive right outside the patio door. The boys got creative and used a fire extinguisher and a water hose to get rid of the hive. The kids loved watching their daddies!

 After the bee hive was taken care of we played outside for a bit then went to an overlook spot. It was so pretty and even a little cold. I was excited to wear a sweater!

 After we got home and had lunch I got take a shower in their big steam shower. It was amazing! Everybody should have one of those! While I was doing that Brian and Nathan took Kambree and Jackson on the 4 wheelers.

Nicole made a delish pot roast for dinner. We made smores and stayed up super late talking. After we went to bed Kambree woke up in the night and started throwing up. Ugh! While Brian and I were cleaning everything up he got sick and he started throwing up. So all through the rest of the night they were both throwing up. No fun! The next morning which was Sunday, we packed everything up and cleaned the cabin then we left to go home. We stopped in Cedar City for some lunch and as we were getting gas Kambree started throwing up again. It was awful! We got back on the road and after we got into Vegas Brian got pulled over on the 215 and like North 5th. UGH! He gave us a ticket for going 72 in a 55 speed zone. Once we drove away I sent a text to Nicole to warn her of the cop and she text me back and said that they just handed their papers over to the cop. They got pulled over by the same guy going the same speed. They also got a ticket! So our opposition followed us on the trip. It was still so fun, we just love spending time with the Dee's!
