The Cat-Fish Chronicles : Fun Vacation!

This past week we spent with Nick's Dad and stepmom Diane, and we had a superb time! I even got to go out and shop alone (thanks Diane!)! I haven't done that in, oh, over a year?

Friday, was my last day at work, again. I know I know, you must be thinking I'm crazy. I might have well been a temp, right? Well, Nick got a promotion at his current job, and had also applying for one (and he's got another interview!) with a company in Salt Lake before I even went back to work. Good for us, but not so good for my past job. I am glad though, I was able to go back, room for the doctors a bit, see some patients who remembered me and I hadn't seen for awhile. So, all in all, I was happy to work, even if it was for just a little while. I have to say, it is the best clinic (everyone included!) I have ever had the privilege of going to an being a part of.

Friday, is also when Nick's parents got in. We didn't waste anytime getting around town tell you what! Diane and I went shopping, Nick and his dad and Will went on a fishing trip for a few days. Diane and I made curtains for my livingroom (at my sister Faith's house, and we wouldn't have been able to get that material to work without her!), we also went to the zoo, and Thanksgiving Point (my dad and Phil came along as well). Tristan had a blast. Especially when we took him to Ikea and let him run around. We let him run around at the museum too, and I tell you what, he's a lot faster than he looks, haha.

I'm really glad Nick was able to have that time with his dad, even if they didn't catch a ton of fish. And I'm sure his dad really appreciated being able to spend time with his son. I know they both loved spending time with/spoiling Tristan. That little boy has grandparents on both sides who just love him soooo much! What a lucky kid he is, and so are we. We have such an amazing family, and I'm so glad we are able to spend time together.

Diane took me to Ikea and bought me a stand alone island for my kitchen. Can I just say, best birthday present EVER?! But really, the best time was when they boys were fishing, and we were able to stay up late and just talk girl talk. Girls really need that every once in awhile! Not to mention all the free advice that comes with it ;)

They just left to fly home this morning, and I was very sad to see them go. I can't wait till we can visit again, probably next April when they come back for graduation. Until then, phone calls will have to do I guess, haha. Thank you Dad and Diane for a fantastic week! We love you!
