Well, all my faithful blog-followers...I am alive and well. I am halfway through my trip home for Shauna and Kevin's wedding. We had a great time in Idaho although it was very quick. Rhys and I arrived in Salt Lake City on Thursday the 22nd of April where Mom and Dad picked us up. We stayed the night there and then drove back to Rupert, Idaho the next afternoon. Adjusting to the time difference was a lot harder than it has been in the past and Rhys had a few really hard nights. We did finally get him turned around in time for Sunday, the day before the wedding. Saturday we had a bridal shower for Shauna (pictures in forthcoming post). Sunday was a very special meeting with all the family gathered plus Shauna and Kevin's normal meeting and then Sunday night we had a rehearsal dinner. Monday was the wedding which was beautiful (pictures soon, I promise) and we had a nice lunch at Shauna and Kevin's favorite mexican restaurant. The original plan was for us to spend the next week around Idaho with Shauna before going back to Albany, but when I arrived I found out that Arlen and Jessi weren't coming as Jessi wasn't well enough to make the trip. Shauna and Kevin had jumped on a plane that very morning to go get the girls so that they could still come out. So the new plan was that on Wednesday after the wedding, Shauna, Emilee and I hopped on a plane for Ohio with the girls. Whew! Talk about a busy few days. Rhys went home with Mom and Dad which was a nice break for me. I got to see Arlen and Jessi and the girls for a few days. They have a really nice spot in the country with dogs and chickens and rabbits and even a goat! Now I am back in Albany for just over a week...it has already felt like this trip as blown by. Rhys is doing great, loving playing with Bella, Mom and Dad's dog, and just having time with them also. So enough of blah blah blah...here are some pictures!
