Quick Trip

We decided to make a surprise quick trip to Idaho for Kathy's birthday. We were heading North on I-15 and passed the "Welcome to Idaho" sign....it could have said "Welcome Home" and we wouldn't have known the difference. We soaked in all the Idaho beauty that we use to take for granted, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong, we really really like Utah but our hearts are still lingering in Idaho I think.

Kathy and Rulan got home from their Friday night date to find us in their house. (Their favorite part was that their grand-baby was there. We were just side line excitement. We'll take what we can get. ;) ) Taylin came over (to see Sam, mostly) so that was nice to see her and get caught up on how college life is going for her. She loves it!

On Saturday Becky came up from Boise to surprise Kathy as well. The roads were all clear except the road leading to the their driveway....so she finally made it after Rulan and Josh fished her out of the snow bank on the side of the slick corner. ;) I wish I could have snapped a picture of the surprised look on Kathy's face when she walked out of her bedroom and did a double take because she realized Becky was sitting on her couch. Kodak moment for sure.

It was a quick, but very enjoyable trip. Happy birthday to a wonderful person and amazing mother-in-law!

 I shouldn't even post this picture, cameras just don't do it justice...but it was such a beautiful drive! I love all the dark purples in the distance, with the snow covered mountains, and then there was a strip of blue sky. Just beautiful.

 Speaking of beautiful, there's my beautiful mother-in-law.

 And more beautiful things. My sister holding Sammie.

 That's a post-sneeze face.

Happy girl. :)

Love, Aubrey
