Traveling fools!

I know.....I'm FINALLY posting a blog.  I actually am feeling okay right now, so here goes.  It might be short, but at least it's something.  So we left last Wednesday and flew 12 hours (plus layovers) to SLC.  I know that my prayers were answered because I didn't start feeling really sick until we got to my aunt Laurel's house in Pleasant Grove.  It was a long day, but we had made it.  Than we turned around the next day and flew up to Spokane, WA where Ben's awesome sisters, Ramona and Brittney (sorry if I spelled your names wrong) came and picked us up to head to West Richland where he's from.  Again, I felt pretty good.  It was a last minute decision to go up there but I'm so glad that we did.  It was well worth it!  We were able to surprise Ben's mom, Vicki.  It was her birthday and the fam had planned a surprise birthday party for her.  She was definitely surprised!!  It was so much fun!!!  Paula flew in from Cali so we were all there, except for Ben but he was feeling really left out!!  Anyway, I would say that Lilli got spoiled, but we BOTH got spoiled!!  It was so good to see everybody and just be there.  You don't realize how much you miss your family until you come back after being away for a while (a year for us) and see them again.  Lilli got to spend time with her cousins Hope, Kyra, Levi, and Harmony.  They all played nicely together, except for the occasional cry of, "That's my toy and you can't have it (mostly------all from Lilli)."  She also got to see all of her aunts and uncle.  And of course her Grammy and Pampa.  Lilli really loved the family and warmed up to them quickly.  Here are some pictures from the trip.  We went to a really cool park that Lilli just loved.  She didn't want to leave.  Thank you to everybody for making our trip so wonderful!!  We miss you and love you all!!!!

So after our trip to Washington, we flew in to SLC (1 1/2 hr flight, not bad) and traveled the 3 hours home.  Oh, but I forgot the best part, or worst rather, when we got to the ticket counter the lady at the desk asked me for Lilli's shot records (I wish so badly now that I had said I didn't have it).  Well, needless to say, because Lilli had been 2 for 3 days now, I had to pay almost $200 for a ticket for her.  I had no idea, because I was thinking I had already paid for a roundtrip ticket and didn't need to pay for her.  Anyway, plus I was sad that we were leaving everybody and I wasn't feeling too hot, I was a mess.  I just started crying and was not happy.  But we made it and that's that.  We're here in Cokeville now, enjoying our time here.  I'm so glad I came.  My parents and siblings have been great with Lilli and I've been able to rest, though I've been sicker here than I ever have been.  The last 3 or 4 days have been awful, waking up barely making it to the bathroom to throw up (sorry, not a pretty picture I know).  I think I'm having a boy, little stinker!!!!  The time change has totally thrown Lilli's schedule out the window, but hopefully when we get back to Georgia we can get back to a somewhat normal schedule.  We miss Ben terribly and wish he were here with us!  We talk to him everyday and it just makes me realize how much I depend on him and love him!  He's a wonderful husband and father!!!!!!!
