Trevor got off his mission the beginning of March in 2007, and that following April he and some of his family went back up to Idaho (where he served) for a baptism of people he taught. Then, this last April, Me, Trevor, and his parents went for the same family to be sealed in the temple. So, this year... no big event to go for... we went anyway. We figured we could celebrate our year anniversary and actually go somewhere before the baby gets here.
Thursday morning we headed to Boise. I thought it was a long drive last year... it seems much longer when you are pregnant and uncomfortable. Needless to say we made a lot of stops.
We figured a lot of the people Trevor would want to visit would be working Friday so we ventured up to McCall. It was very pretty drive up there. I'll have to get the pictures off the camera and post them. (While we were in McCall is the only time we even used the camera) The lake was still frozen over so there wasn't much to do, but it was fun to go.
That evening we went to visit the Filkins family, the Busby family and Twain & Bug. The Filkins are the family that we've gone up for before they are doing really good. The Busby family are the Filkins neighbors and friends. It was so fun to see them again. Twain was the mission leader in one of the area's Trevor served. Visiting him and his wife is always entertaining. They are really great people. Saturday we were kinda lazy (it's a vacation... what do you expect?!) We went to visit Craig Cornwall, who was always good friends with the missionaries in the area. We spent a good part of Saturday morning with him. He is quite humorous! We had a good visit. Unfortunately his wife and kids weren't home so we didn't get to see them, but it was still great to see him. The rest of that day we shopped and played the roll of "tourist." We went to dinner with the Filkins and Busby's and that was a good time. Sunday we had a BBQ at the Busby's house with the Filkins and the missionaries. The weather was perfect. Later that evening we went to visit the Gordon's. They are great people, Trevor also taught and baptized them while he was out. They are very welcoming. Sarah definitely has her hands full with her 4 kids. They are so cute. It was fun to see them again. That was pretty much the end of Idaho. Early Monday morning we hit the road to come back to Utah. We decided to take a different route. We went down through Pocatello and stopped in Smithfield to see my mom. She made us the yummiest lunch! Thanks mom :) Then we made a quick stop in Logan to see my friend Rachel. It's fun to see her and talk to her. We are both experiencing pregnancy for the first time, so that's fun. Then we made the rest of the drive. And it was pretty long! Oh yeah... Sarah, we saw the "Abandoned" gas station in Raft River. Too creepy to stop! haha

I'm glad you made it home safely...no scary gas stops!! : ) We absolutely LOVED seeing you guys and feel that you both truly bless our lives...your timing was perfect!!!
So Heidi, next time we are in Enterprise we will stop and see Andrea but I am afraid we just won't be able to get to your house. So sorry. Next time you'll learn to maybe take 10 minutes to see us. HaHa. Glad the trip went well and you had fun. Talk to you later. Norine
Thanks for stopping for lunch!! Too bad we won't be here in Smithfield next time you come :( You look so cute!!! I'll have to try and get my pic downloaded, too! Glad you made it home safely -- what a long ride - especially when you're pregnant!! (You'll have to see if Norine would stop if she was pregnant and in the car for more than 10 hours in one day!! Bet not!)
