My Oregon Trip - Day 3

This trip was by far not long enough. It's always hard to enjoy the last day, when the end is looming like a dark cloud overhead. I woke up Sunday morning and my countdown began to the hours and minutes until I had to catch my plane. :( I missed my family like crazy, but I was not ready to go yet. But how could I get too down when there was this cute little guy around. This was an extra special weekend with the blessing of baby Rex.

The two stars of the weekend.

My sister and I are both learning the art of photography. We had fun playing with our niece and nephew and they were very patient with us. Laurel is holding a white baby blanket behind Kari. I wish I had taken a picture of that!

Traci is one of those mothers that I hope to become (if I ever grow up). She is kind and patient and does so many amazing things for her family. I truly wish they lived closer so that I could take daily notes from her.

I never want to be the first to leave anything. I want to make sure the party is good and dead before I go. I hate missing out! But it worked out that I was the first to leave. My parents and sister left the next day. After church Scott became tied-up in his bishop duties and, to no fault of his own, missed my goodbye hug. He left me a voicemail which I received once I was to my gate and it made me cry...okay, more like bawl! I had to send myself to the restroom to compose myself. I didn't think it would be so hard to leave. I was happy to return to my family, but I cried several more times the next day as well. We made so many great memories in that short time we had together. Move to Utah...Scott, Traci, Laurel, and Doug!! And there you have it...my trip to Oregon! And it was pure bliss.
