Utah

So I have been home for almost two weeks and I haven't blogged about Utah. I haven't written in my journal about it either... I need to be better... so I'm going to write about it now.

It was really fun! It's always fun to go see my family. All of my family was in town, and that was so fun! I talked with my older brother, Matt, a lot and I feel like I got to know him on a different level. It's funny how that can happen even with people you have known your entire life. Speaking of that, I realized that I really don't know too much about my grandpa Lawlor's life... I would love to know more, and I was planning asking him about it, but we never had a moment together that wasn't at a big family gathering or working frantically to prepare for the wedding. I don't know when I would be able to do this, but I really want to.

I'm trying to think of witty or clever things to say, because we all know that it's not too fun to read boring narrative blog posts. ... but I don't have too much to say.

I got a pedicure again! Oh man! I love those things!!! I took my SIL Ali out for part of her wedding gift, it was so fun to spend some Missy-Ali alone time together. I was able to get to know her better, which is always good. Not witty, Melissa... I'm going to stop and just put up some pictures. We all like pictures :)
