I don't get to spend that much time with just my dad. So, when he said he was going to be in Utah over the same three day weekend I had from school, we made it happen so we could head down.
Our original plan was that I would bring Brandon to work for the Friday morning shift (6 to 2), them pick him up and we would be on our way. That hit a snag, however, when Brandon went to go wake his wife up and got a growl in return. I will go ahead and excuse myself... It was parent teacher conference week and it was long.
So, instead of us leaving from Rexbrg at about 1:30, we left at 3. We were trying to make it down to the Boise State BYU game, and we did make it but around halftime. It was still great... And BYU won! My favorite commercial was where someone was determining statehood for different territories, but Boise applied and they denied it. The caption was, "Boise is not a state." Haha I loved it.
Brandon and I.
We are so much shorter than my dad.
The next day, we started out by going to the gym. It's been a while, and I'm running a 10K in 2 weeks so I figured I should get a start on that... And it was painful. But after that, we went to the Draper temple and it was BEAUTIFUL. Seriously, I can't get enough of these temples. We were there for a couple hours, and I just felt a peace that everything was going to be fine.
We took our customary picture outside the temple (#15 for Brandon and I)...
We hit up Mac's lacrosse game, and then got ready for the custom Brick Oven cousin dinner. It's been years and I've never made it down to one, so I was thrilled to be a part of this one. I think hanging out with cousins is the best.
And, look who showed up!
Sunday was spent at church with Grandma and Grandpa Murphy, followed by naps and another Murphy cousin dinner.
It was seriously a great weekend, I'm so glad we had the chance to come down. Now, if I could fight off this impending cold it would be even better!
