It's a picture overload of our trip to Utah! Luke didn't join us this time, since he was on a high adventure trip in West Virginia with the Varsity Scouts. But the kids and I had a great time!
We loved meeting 3 new baby cousins.

| Provo Day! Jennie and I discovered that she is living in the exact same apartment, room, and even bed that I had 20 years ago in the Brittany apartments! Such a crazy coincidence. I've never been back to this apartment since living there, so I was flooded with memories. |
 |
| Apartment 6B--who would have guessed 20 years ago (when Jennie was just a toddler!) that she'd eventually live in this same apartment?! |
 |
| I thoroughly enjoyed being back in Provo, where I have so many memories from my nearly 5 years of schooling and 4 summers working with Academy for Girls. I'm glad I got to reconnect with that piece of my past and share some of it with my kids. |

'Til next time, Utah!
