My little sister is all grown up and off to college. She is going to the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, UT.
Last weekend, my parents and I drove with my sister up there to drop her off. It was really difficult for me to leave her there. I wanted to make her come home with me because she is my best friend and I'm going to miss her so much, but I know she is going to have more fun and grow the most over these next two years.
I had a lot of fun visiting Utah again. I saw a lot of old friends that I hadn't seen in 8 months! I loved visiting, but it didn't feel like home. I was a stranger in the town I lived in for 3 years. A lot of the people I used to know moved to different states, got married, or are on missions.
Speaking of missions, I was walking around Temple Square on Sunday night and I ran into one of my good friends who is on her mission at Temple Square!! It was so random. I loved seeing her again. She is so cute and I can tell that she loves serving the Lord.
Anyway, in Provo I got to see my friend Ben Li (who ran and gave me the biggest hug when I got there) and Hayley (who is a really good cook and she used to make me this rice chicken stuff - so, in honor of me visiting her, she made it for me! It was even better than I remember.) I also saw my old roommate Erin! I miss her. She is such a cute girl. I went to church with them, but the ward was completely different. They were the only three people I knew. I also got to see Brother and Sister Adams who took me and Mollie to a Carrie Underwood concert one time. It was so fun. I have missed them too. AND I saw my old Bishop and his wife whom I love and have missed as well. They all gave me a big hug when they saw me. It was so good to see them and talk with them. I also saw my friend Paul. We talked for an hour in his apartment before I had to go to church. I only spent one day in Provo so I didn't get to see every one that I wanted, but I had a lot of fun with the people I did see.
I also saw my friend Preston! Preston was one of my favorite people when I lived in Provo.
He was in Logan when my family was up there visiting my grandma and aunts and uncles so we invited him to go to lunch with us so I could see him. My aunt told one of my uncles that me and Preston were engaged as a joke and never corrected him. He later congratulated me on my engagement. It was kind of funny. And then my aunt asked Preston how we knew each other and he said we dated. She loved it and ran with it.
So I wouldn't be surprised if my other aunts and uncles call me up and ask when the wedding is. . . maybe they'll just send money. :)
Preston dropped me off at my cousin Michelle's house in Salt Lake Sunday night.
Michelle just had a baby. It was so good to see her and Tyler and baby Ethan.
They are the cutest couple I know. I wouldn't mind living by them someday. Hopefully they will move to Arizona when Tyler is done with school.
Well, back to my little sister . . . Her dorm room that she is living in is actually a hotel. My sister is living in a hotel! That's so cool!
Her room looks like a dorm room with the twin size bed, desk, and tiny closet inside. It's just when you walk outside the room that you remember it's a hotel. The Traks are right outside the hotel and can take her right up on campus. Temple Square is right across the street too. She lives in a great part of the city. I'm so excited for her and this new adventure she is having . . . college! It almost makes me wish I was back in school ... almost. :)
My grandpa told us a really cool story about his grandma. She grew up in this house, The Devereaux Mansion, which is located near LDSBC.
She fell in love with one of the carriage drivers that worked for her family. Her family disapproved of this, of course because he was lower class, but she didn't care what they thought and married him anyway. I thought that was a sweet story.
I got to see my grandparents again as well. I have missed them so much. I used to go visit them in Clinton, Utah once a month when I lived in Provo. I usually stayed with them for 2 or 3 days.
This is my grandma and me. She is so great!
On our way home from Utah, we stopped at Glen Canyon Dam . . . ya, I said Dam, Lyndsie . . . Anyway, This is the front of the visitor center. I love the red rock. It is a pretty place.
