Big Update

Well if your only contact with me was through my blog, I might be considered dead, but I have just been more "well hidden" than dead the past month and a half. Since moving to Cedar City, I haven't really had too much to blog about until the last couple of weeks. Homework and classes, just didn't seem blog worthy. Luckily I have had some fun come in the past couple of weeks. The first big adventure of the month was going back to Blanding for my dad's birthday. I think it was a pretty exciting week for my dad because Jason come home from Florida on Wednesday of that week. Then on Thursday, Zeb, Hil and Camden come home from flagstaff. Finally I made the drive home on Friday night. I suprised my dad by calling him around my normal time on friday night, but little did he know, I was only in the next room for half of our conversation. It was really fun to have the whole family together again. It was the first time since I came home from DC that we had all been together, and it was the first time we had ALL been together if you count the newest additions to the family. The weekend after that all went down, Kyle and Dany came to St. George / Mesquite for Sheena's baby shower. So on Saturday I got to spend most of Saturday with them. We hit up Panda Express, did some shopping, watched The Proposal ( I know this is a chick-flick, but it was still pretty funny), and then ate dinner at Red Lobster! Finally this last weekend, I made a trip down to La Verkin to see my Aunt Sue and Grandma Crofts. We met up at Aunt Miriam's house and had dinner together. It was nice getting to see them again. I hadn't seen Grandma Crofts since I came home from DC, and I hadn't seen anybody else on my dads side since Zeb got married. Also on Sunday, I got to go to Cannonville to see Janice and Cole's baby, Kagen, get blessed. It was really cool because I also got to stand in on the blessing. Once again, it was fun just to see some more familiar faces and get to visit with them. It was actually kind of funny, because I was debating on whether or not I was going to go to the blessing, and I just felt like I should. It turned out that my buddy Kade, who happens to be related to Janice, is in my singles ward. So I was asking him about what time their meeting was and trying to get some directions, and I got invited to go with them. So it all just worked out really well. The only bad thing about all of this was I didn't do so well on getting pictures. I did get a couple from Cannonville, so here they are.
