The Start of Our Adventure

We left Salt lake on the 29th and stopped to see Jason's mom and sister(and family) It was a nice visit just like it always is! On Monday we headed out for Colorado. Bye Bye Utah!We were able to spend time with my mom and Pete as well as meet his new girlfriend Hillary who appears to be nice enough. I wish we would have been able to spend a little more time with her to get to know her better. While we were in Colorado we talked to my dad about coming back after the wedding and working(as opposed to going to Georgia) Jason would be able to do some remodeling on the 6 Denny's my dad just bought. So it was settled and agreed that we would come back and Jason would be put to work. So Thursday we left Colorado.

It was a long 14 hour drive with nothing to see!

So we decided to entertain ourselves with some shadow puppets (I was trying to be a goose and Jas was a turkey)!
We finally made it to Missouri and it was too dark to get the welcome to Missouri sign, sad day, but we made it none the less. We go there at 1 am and then managed to stay up talking with our good friends Sam and Matt.
The days went by fast. There was wedding this and wedding that. Luckily Jason was saved by Ben Broadbent who was so nice and took him fishing and skeet shooting. I would have really felt bad if Jason were stuck with the girls twiddling his thumbs. It was so good to see Ben and Cammie and I swear sometimes I'm so good about pictures but other times I really suck! So next time we will have to get more photos! It was good to see all of my friend and for them to meet Jason at the wedding. This was the first time he has been back since before we got married. Here are some pics from the wedding. (And a special thanks to Jason's sister Danielle for making my dress for me!)

I was so glad we stayed an extra day to spend time with Valerie and go to dinner with her and Ashley. I am so blessed to have great friends.

And at the end of our trip I took this picture of the Missouri River. I miss the scenery in Missouri!
