A cousin's wedding

Back in March, I took a quick weekend trip by myself (WITHOUT KIDS-THANK YOU CHRIS)

to Utah to see my cousin,

Marie, get married in the Salt Lake Temple.

I loved the trip and spending time with extended family.

I stayed with Chris' Aunt, and had a wonderful time visiting her.

I also visited with my cousin Josh and his family,
and loved feeling the spirit in their home.

Family is everything.

On another note, I also took a quick trip to Ikea.

The store overwhelms me,

but I've learned to just get 1 or 2 things,

for my home when I visit,

and forget the need to buy the whole store.

I got this stool at my most recent visit,

it's a taller plastic step stool.

My shorty kids need taller stools for hand & teeth brushing.

It's plastic and much more durable around water,

than wooden ones I've owned before.

I bought 2 of them, I love them so much.
