I realized I never posted about our Vegas/Utah trip we took about 2 months ago...I know, it's way over due, and who cares at this point right? Well, I care. :)
We are a little crazy Ryan and I, so to keep up with appearances we decided to drive 22 hours straight with four kids. Our three and my nephew, Colton. We left at 5am on a Friday morning and didn't arrive to Cedar City until 1:30am Saturday morning. The kids actually did great. It was Ryan and I who struggled. The last 3-4 hours of the drive were horrible. Those hours seemed like endless toture! But we made it.
There was a moment when I was driving and almost got us all killed. I was shaken up pretty bad as we should have been in a head on collision and I remember closing my eyes waiting for the impact that never came. I know the Lord protected us because we should have been hit. I don't know how we weren't to be honest. I still think about it to this day. I had Ryan drive the rest of the way.
It was so great to see Mom and Bob and spend time with them. My family came down from Idaho to stay the weekend too. So my parents, sisters, brother in law, Josh and my borther Adam all came down. Adam stayed for the day and then took Colton back up to Idaho with him. We had a great time, as always.
Then Monday morning came and Ryan and I said goodbye to our girls and headed to Vegas for 5 days and 6 nights alone! Ryan had a P.A. conference the whole week there that his company paid for so I got to go too!
My NAME! As we were driving up to the Vegas Temple we drove threw CHRISTY lane. Thought it was blog worthy...

How fun you got to have a little vacation without the kiddos. Mike and I have yet to do that in our 7 years of marriage...well I guess the kids have only been around the last 4 and a half. We really need/want to do that sometime soon. We drove once from Dallas to Boise. It was brutal and we didn't even have any kids yet!
Aww. Luck-eeeee. Love all the pics of you guys!
