CRAZY WEEKEND!!

My weekend started on Thursday...

We started by celebrating my cousin, Emily's, wedding by having a dinner at my mom's. Most of my aunts and uncles were there and we hosted Emily's new in-laws. *Fun fact* The maternal grandfather of Emily's husband, Michael, served his mission (in Africa) with my paternal grandfather. My grandfather passed away while my dad was young. I never met him. It was fun to hear stories and see old pictures.* Anyway, it was a delicious meal and good company. I went down at 9:30 and stood in line with my hubby, no he didn't see it, he was just so kind to keep me company till my sisters could arrive. The rest of my sisters finally made it (Steph included) trickled down to the theater later that night. It was a mad dash into the theater, way to go Steph for knocking people over and elbowing a 13 year old out of the way. We got really good seats!!


The movie was fabulous! I am not going to give an entire synopsis here, but I can't wait to see it again. I got home at 2am and had to be to work early. I was groggy, but it was worth every second.


Friday...

Now here is the really sucky part of my weekend. I had 10 tickets to the Celine Dion World Tour. We have had these tickets for A YEAR!! The concert was SUPPOSED to be on Friday night at 8. She cancelled the concert because of a throat infection. Here is the really terrible news. They rescheduled her concert for a Sunday in February. I am so upset that I can't even think straight. I am still searching for a place on her website to complain. Who schedules anything for a Sunday in Salt Lake City??? Ugh.  

So I had to finish making those pages for Emily's reception, see side where I make the advice books. I have now made 6 of them!!! And I had to run them down to her house in Alpine, mind you I live in SLC which is like 30 min away. I am hauling butt, because at this time, it is 415 and at 440 she needs to leave for the church to get her dress on, and get pictures taken before the reception. So I finally get there, I also went to do her nails too. When we were done, my aunt wasn't quiet ready, so she's like Sara, please take her to the reception place and do up her dress. Which was a corsett back! What THE! I don't know how to tie those!!! Anyway, I took her and did my best to make it tight and the bow sure did look great. Mind you I am not ready for the reception, because I wasn't expecting to take her to the reception place, any my family was meeting back in SLC for dinner before we all headed to her reception together. So I book it home. I make it in the door at 605 dinner was supposed to be at 6. but my mom and sister in law angie waited, then we drove together. I seriously changed into my dress in 5 min. Then we ate and went back down to the reception! 

Saturday...

GAME DAY!  First Sammy played an awesome joke on my mom, who is a BYU fan, but only because she did her nursing school there, and then she thinks its funny when her and Sammy battle it out. Actually on thursday, the day of my cousin emily's family shower, my mom and little sister stuck BYU stickers all over our cars, those of us who love the UTES! anyway, sam didnt' get to go to the reception last night because he was working security, and when he got home, he stole my mom's phone, and we have this pen that sings the Utah fight song, so he recorded that onto my mom 's phone and then at 2:30 AM he was sneeking into my parents bedroom and it scared my mom. she woke straight up. And sam was in the middle of his army crawl thru my parents room. And my mom was like Hello? Who's there! My mom was scared to death that someone had broken into our house and was in her room. It wasn't funny then, but I just sit and laugh now! anyway, he slid the phone under her  bed and ran downstairs into our part of the house, and he hurry's and jumps into bed. It woke me up, so I got up to go to the bathroom, and i hear people walking around upstairs. I was like do you hear that. someone is walking around up there. I had no idea what he had done. So I brush it off, and go back to sleep. Well he set his alarm to wake up every 30 min, and he would call my mom's phone and it would go off full blast under her bed. It was funny, so none of us had very much sleep that night. Then we got up all early to go to my cousin's sealing in the SLC temple, and my mom's phone was still going off. It was on vibrate lucky enough. Then after that, we came home and got ready for the game, because  Sammy, Jeff (my bro in law), and me and my cousin Zac, all got tickets to the Utah game. So we had to leave part way thru my cousin's luncheon to make it to the game. We were in Alpine and had to drive all the way to the Utah stadium. We made it just in time! It was so much fun to be there. After the game I sure did go down and jump on the field. It was awesome. And Sammy is "in" with the Whitingham family and so we got to go into the press conference right after. It was such a great game. 

Sunday

This was my dad's birthday and Thanksgiving. Both were early, my dad's birthday was yesterday. So after church we came home and were making the Thanksgiving dinner. I was in charge of Jello and stuffing. The whole dinner turned out really well. And my dad loved having everyone there for his birthday! Then right after that Sam and I had to go on a transport together. We went to San fran that night and slept over.  

Monday

So after we got done with the work, we ended up in St George. So we went to visit Sammy's cousin Ryanne! And she was such a great host, and thank you Kristin for dinner! It really was delicous. Anyway we also went to Twilight again. I love that movie. And we just hung out with her and her family all day.

Tuesday

We went to lunch at a great poly place there in St George. And then we finished working and went home! We got home so late! It was such a crazy weekend!!!! I felt like that weekend went on for about a month! 

Now we are just relaxin and can't wait to go to Vegas on thursday!!!
