Trip Back to the US 2010

Cash and I left for Utah on May 3. We had a great trip, and my only regret is not taking hardly ANY pictures, and the fact that it wasn't long enough. We were there for 12 days and then we flew to AZ to meet Chip and hang with the Browns.

Unfortunately we all got sick for most the week there, but we still had a great time seeing family - altho once again it wasn't long enough time there either! However, we did get to enjoy Heidi's mission farewell talk, hang out for a bit with her before she left, and get a family photo with the ENTIRE family (been awhile since this happened). It was really hot, so only a couple takes, and of course being 32 weeks pregnant here is not ideal for me, but oh well!

Both Chip and I felt the trip wasn't long enough and had little desire to leave and come back to China, altho we do like it here and now we are back it is fine - but boy do we miss our families and wish we could see them more --- so plan your visits over here ya'll before the fall!

Thanks for having us - I feel I have the 2 best families ever!

The trip home, however, was a complete disaster - we sat on the plane in SF for 2 hours before being unloaded and told we had to wait another 3 hours to board a new plane. This caused us to miss our flight in Korea and get stuck in the airport hotel overnight - our 18 hour trip turned into a 40 hour LONG LONG LONG trip!!!! UGH!!!!

Thankfully we have such a great little son who travels so well and is always happy, and managed to escape getting the flu bug too we all had - so that made it better! I hope to never have another flight schedule like that again in life tho!

The entire Brown Family - LOVE these guys!

Cute Missionary Heidi with Betty and Charlie - so sad you got sick the first 2 days in the MTC!

Aunt Hannah with niece Adella and nephew Cohen - Cash was running away!

Grandpa and Grandma with the 3 grandkids - what a feat! Also, note Cohen is the yongest of the 3 but bigger than both the others - he is going to be one big boy - I hope Cash can catch up some day!

The Brown family with no in-laws --- what a great looking and awesome group of people!

Our little family of 3, soon to be 4!

It was fun going to dinner while you were here! You look great! In that top picture you can't even tell your pregnant because Chip's brother is standing in front of you!
