.gratitude.

.arizona was a blast.

.i loved it so much. i loved being able to spend time with my sisters and my NIECES. they are growing up so fast, and i cannot wait to see them in November :) .

.the 12 hour drive there and back was definitely worth it. the 115 degree weather was worth it. the 90 degree room temperature we would fall asleep in, was definitely worth it. the headaches of wedding planning was worth it.

.thank you to my sisters, ronnie and kris, and also my mom. they were such a help and were so willing to help plan the reception and sew the table cloths, and drive to many stores and try on many dresses, and really help meet my wants for my reception. thank you, thank you, thank you. i cannot say it enough, and words cannot express my gratitude for you guys.

.i am in utah now. went out to dinner with debbie & roger (andrew's mom and dad), aunt lisa and uncle dave (andrew's relatives) and terri and melanie (friends). it was lots of fun, and they are so willing as well and help with whatever needed :)

.saturday i go home, i am ready for the aspect of finding a second job and start earning money to pay off my dress and save for our future. but i am not ready to leave, because i have been truly enjoying myself. i guess my vacation needs to end sometime... it just seems too soon :(
