the best of reasons for a road trip presented itself a few weekends ago!
one of my requirements upon moving was that Justin bring me back when Jimmy and Jen were sealed. Luckily for me going to this blessed event for our besties was high on his priority list as well.
even if justin and jimmy weren't able to get a mandate in...
they have an AMAZING story and we felt lucky to be there for their day of Eternal togetherness.
yeah, I cried. but that was coupled with a grin from ear to ear. we couldn't be happier for them.
we also couldn't have been happier to be back in St. George!
we had three nights of sleepover awesomeness at the Woods house. that meant quality time with more friends we love, a late night jewelry run with Kim, yummy food, and 5 awesome boys who I am equally obsessed with. we kept them up for some late nights, after all I had to get every ounce of social event possible in!
Oh how I had missed all of our dear friends. It worked out that we were able to see many of those we go thru daily withdrawal over. I wish we could have had weeks to get all the hang out time in with everyone we wanted to see...oh wait that would be a lot like living there again...which I am totally up for. Thanks to everyone who came to see us, let us come see them, or donated their houses for visiting purposes. Poor Emily, we probably kept you up way past your bed time...but it was worth it in my book (and ali's)!
it was just further proof that St. George is still home to us.
and the cherry on top?
It just happened to be the week of the primary program!!!!! Yay!
due to a bug going around I was thrown right into the action...and I loved every second of it. and yes, I cried there too. I miss all those kids like crazy. I was serving as the primary president when we left and was so happy that I got to see all that practicing for the year pay off. oh how I miss their tender spirits and hilarious comments.
oh it was a fabulous weekend...anyone else want to give us a reason to come back there? It would be an easy sell.

okay where did you get that adorable yellow dress? LOVE!
HA HA HA everyone loves your bargin-buy dress! It was a highlight that you guys came clear down here. I'm so sad and grieving the fact that we had so many people in town we didn't get in some Maddux alone time! Oh when can we hang out again! good thing I'm all prego-ed out so you have to come to my babyshower! YEAH!
