farewell montanny, birthdays, slc

Monday brought the best news ever---we were assigned to leave Montana and go to SLC for a few weeks!!! After four months I thought this day would never come. I was so happy and really excited to go to SLC. Montana is beautiful but eating out every day gets old after awhile, you start to miss going to your own ward, miss seeing people you know and staying in a hotel really isn't all that after four months. So we are here in SLC now staying with Keith's Grandma and loving it. I'm excited for In and Out, Ikea, friends, family, conference, Temple Square and just being able to do more things and be around people I know. Tuesday (the day we left Montana) was my little sister Misti's birthday. I told Keith that we should just go to Rexburg and stay the night there then head to SLC on Wednesday because the trip would be shorter by about five hours if we did that instead of go home to Boise then SLC. Besides the trip being shorter that way I also wanted to surprise Misti for her b-day by showing up at her apartment and taking her out. I told her that I had a delivery for her coming that day and she needed to be home for it. So when we arrived we had Kolton (Catherine's finance) take Carson to Misti's door and tell her he had a delivery for her. Misti was confused at first and had no idea who Kolton was and why he was holding Carson, it was funny, then we all popped out too and surprised her! She was so excited and totally surprised because she didn't think we were coming. We took her out to Craigos (yes, it's Craigos to me and not Pizza Pie Cafe) for her b-day dinner and had a such a fun time. I can't believe she's 23!! I turned 23 when I was pregnant with Carson, seriously it does not feel that long ago. I'm getting too old!! I'm so happy we got to be there for Misti on her birthday! I hope it was a good one Misti! We love you. We are now here in SLC, Keith is working during the day and Carson and I hang out with Grandma. We're having fun here and excited for fun things ahead.
