Trip to Utah and getting settled

It was such a fun summer and it went by so fast. I stayed at Brooke and Eric's house for about a month when the rest of my family left to Utah. It was a lot of fun and I loved being able to spend more time with my beautiful niece Alaura. I also had so much fun going to Camie and Juan's apartment everyday for my lunch break. I loved being able to hold my new gorgeous baby niece, Leyna, almost everyday. It was so sad to say bye to them all. (Oh and thank you so much Brooke and Camie for letting me come and stay with you guys!!! I loved it!) After saying my goodbyes to Brooke, Alaura, and Eric I went to Camie and Juan's to take a nap before I set out on my long drive to Utah. After my nap I dropped by to say bye to my bestfriend Brena and then went to my friends apartment Adam, he and his brother all went up to Utah with me. We stopped by the grocery store and got some energy drinks and some candy to keep us up on the long drive, got some gas, and stopped by Carl's Jr. to get some food. We weren't officially on the rode until 10:30 P.M. I drove in my car for the first part and then Adam's brother Mike drove my car to give me a break so I could sleep some. I went into Adam's car to sleep and ended up talking the whole time haha. After my sleeping break was over I got back in my car and drove the rest of the way. I was so proud of myself because I was scared that I'd get tired driving through the whole night but I didn't! =) We got to Provo, Ut at 9:00 A.M. and I wasn't even tired! The office to my apartment wasn't going to be open until 10:00 so I was going to wait an hour so I could pay and everything and then unpack my stuff, but all of the sudden it hit me of how tired I was so I just drove to my parents house in Layton. It was so nice to see them and I talked for them for a bit before I took a nice loooong nap. It was nice! I ended up going back to Provo to unpack and everything the next day which was Thurs. I unpacked and was planning on staying there the whole weekend and then going back to my parents late Sat. or on Sun. so I could spend Labor Day with them. My roommates were so sweet but I didn't want to stay because I had no food, didn't know anyone really, and just wanted my mommy (hehe) So I ended up going home Friday afternoon and spent a nice weekend with them. My mom and I went shopping for toiletries and groceries so I was set to go back and left Monday night. So that's a long book about my trip here and my first few days. Hope you don't fall asleep reading that!!!

I could never have stayed awake all night. I am ready to go to bad by 8:30 or 9. Sounds like the trip up went well, and glad you were able to spend time with you family.
