Last weekend, Steve, Wyatt and I went up to Utah for the wedding of Steve's brother Mike. This was a historical event in the Smith family, since we all believed that Mike would forever be a bachelor! (Just had to throw that in!) I have to admit it was a bit weird not having all of the children with us, but they were safe and happy at Pappa and Grandma's for the weekend!
A few things that I learned about traveling......I will never fly Delta again. First of all, Steve and I opted to leave Ethan, Gavin, and Averi in California, because it was going to cot us $1300 just to fly! Call me crazy, but I hesitated to drop that kind of money in this recession. So, as it is, it still cost Steve and me $460 round trip. We go to check in our bags, and Delta charges up $15 per bag to fly. I was appalled and ticked off. Of course this is a policy that I probably been aware of if I had television and watched the news....right???? So, I am making my typical sarcastic comments to the check in man...."You mean, I can fly, but I better plan on wearing the same clothes for four days!" Anyways, it still makes me angry, so enough said about that.
Our time in Utah was great. I got to go and see Lani for a couple of hours. I was so happy for her. Her house is beautiful, and she has so much space! Huge bedrooms and a huge backyard! It was great to see her, and I wised I would have taken my camera (of course for another $15)
Steve got to spend some time with Todd and go to the movies in Provo. He also spent a lot of time playing the XBOX, which of course drove me crazy, but a mans gonna do what a mans gonna do! I tried not to give him too much grief, since this was his vacation, and he had just finishing working over 150 hours in two weeks! I did though have to ask him to turn it off a couple of times and give me attention! (I guess after 11 year of marriage, if my only competition is the XBOX, I should consider myself lucky!!!!)
The wedding was beautiful. Us Smith girls are always excited to get more girls in the family. We are actually almost caught up to the boys now! Mike and Julie were so happy.
The bride and groom!

I do wish that I took my camera. As it is I had to get these pictures from family! It was a great time, and I did miss the kid so much. I was excited to come home and give them their gifts that we bought for them!

glad you had a great time in Utah... sorry you didn't bring your camera. So glad you got to spend some time with Lani!! yes the $15 charge to check luggage is lame, but I think every airline charges now. Glad Steve got a little vacation too!
That's great you were able to fly to the wedding and see Lani. And like Marlo says I've heard every airline charges for luggage too. SORRY so just take laundry soap with you next time. LOL
Jen it was so fun seeing you again! I'm so glad you made time to come and visit with me. I LOVE talking with you!
We're going to have to get another picture though-even after all my pestering to Jared he still didn't get one I could use!
THANKS FOR COMING TO SEE ME! It made my week!
