Last week Kenzie and I took a road trip to Rexburg, Idaho where she will be attending BYU Idaho. We left Wednesday afternoon and drove to Salt Lake where we stayed with the Orchards. We had a girl's night out and Jenny came with us to see The Help. The movie was great, but the book is even better.
Kenzie says farewell to Monica and Riley. Riley will be leaving for his mission to Chile on September 21. It was so hard for everyone to say goodbye.
The Guymon family: Talia, Sara, Rachel, Amberly, MikeBraden & Mason
We stayed with the Guymon family in Sugar City. They are friends from
when we lived in Farmington, NM.
I stayed in Rexburg Thursday night through Saturday morning to help Kenzie get settled.As soon as we got there we unpacked and organized her room. That day we also shopped for groceries and went to lunch at Millhollow sandwich and yogurt shop. It was delicious. We went back for yogurt again on Friday and Saturday. Yummy! Friday we went to the Temple and did baptisms for the dead with Kenzie's best friend, Alexis Clark, and her mom. We also took some time that day to walk around campus and find all of Kenzie's classes.
It was bitter-sweet to leave. My baby is growing up. I am so proud of her and excited for her and the adventures that await.
On my way home, I stopped in Sandy. I spent the night with Lezlie (on the right) and Angie (on the left). Our friendships go back as far as elementary school and then on to college. We had dinner, sang karaoke, and laughed about the good old times. We didn't go to sleep until 3:00am. What a great time we had!

She will do amazing! Good luck to you:) It takes a minute to adjust. I think it is a little harder when it is your girl too:( Next time you are up this way we want a turn to have you stay with us! We were down there this weekend and talked to Mike on the phone. We will have to have a date night next time we are down. We will be there in early Nov. I will call ya and we can hopefully set something up!
Oh...sweet Kenzie. I hope she is loving it:). It looks like you have a great weekend. I know I enjoyed seeing you. And, clearly, we shop at the same store. I have been eyeballing that red/white shirt!
