My cousin Ali got married in Park City, on the mountain, in September, and it was beautiful! The guests got to ride the chair lift up and the alpine slides down (except Alivia and me. We had our thrills off roading up and down the hill in a suburban without a car seat).
After the wedding in Park City, Cody and I got to spend a week in Logan, UT with The Orvins. We had another wedding reception for my dear friend Frances the following weekend, so it was a good excuse to see Grandma and Grandpa Orvin and the rest of the gang. We had a great time going out to eat, shopping, playing games, and we even made it up to Idaho Falls to visit my Aunt Becky and Uncle Jim - as well as my cousin Jennifer's family. Here are a few randoms...

On Saturday, we had to leave Logan and head back down to attend my friend, Frances' reception in the Salt Lake area. I was super excited to go and see Frances and meet her husband and introduce them to Alivia and so forth. We were getting ready to go and I went to my suitcase to try and find Frances' reception card with the location information. As I glanced at the card -I took a big gulp, gasped for air, and raced upstairs to tell Cody the awful news. Turns out the reception for Frances was the night before on FRIDAY!!! I panicked and raced to call Frances hoping she would be in town for another day or two so I could go down to Salt Lake and spend some time with her. I got her on the phone only to learn that she was flying out that afternoon. I was so sad. No not sad...more like devastated, sickened.
Hopeful, we packed in a hurry and tried to meet up with her at the airport, but because of traffic, and the distance between Logan and SLC airport, we didn't make it in time. In tears and really quite PISSED OFF at myself and the world, Cody asked what he could do to make the situation better. I said, "the only way to fix this situation and make it better is to have a time machine. Do you have one? No. Can you get one? No. Why? Because they don't exist. Well, not outside Hollywood anyway."
And missing Frances' wedding by a day, my friends, is in the running for "Airhead Move of the Year." Here is a little of what I missed :(
And here is the outfit Alivia's was going to wear to the reception. We were trying it on that morning to make sure she looked super cute in it. What a waste. A sad, embarrassing, stupid waste! (Connie thinks that if she closes her eyes, I won't take her picture. Clearly I still will...muah, ha, ha).
We did however get to see our friend Derek. We grabbed lunch and enjoyed catching up.
See you again at Thanksgiving Utah!!!
