Loving the Leavitt Life: Blessing Bliss

Wondering what I did this weekend? Wonder no more!

I had the amazing opportunity to go see my fake older sisters baby blessing.

(Fake older sister? Yes. The Pugmires are family.)

And what a blessing it was!

In fact, this whole trip was just meant to be!

Funny story time:

Went to the park on Friday afternoon to enjoy the weather. While I was there I called my mom and caught up. Then I told her that I had no special plans for the weekend. Hung up and decided to o be productive and get some homework. BORING. And I don't know why but I just decided to get back to my apartment a different way. I never take that street but I thought . . . Why not? As I am driving down, I look to my left and see my long lost besties from home. Keri and Kiersten were on the porch! So naturally I pulled over to say hello. It had been far too long! We laughed and chatted and then the weekend was brought up. They were going down to Utah for Lindsay's baby blessing and asked me if I wanted to come with. Umm. HELLO! I think so! Not passing this opportunity up!

So Saturday we started this grand adventure together. And it really did end up being the best road trip ever. We charged Kiersten's AC, had Chick-Fil-A (or whatever the heck the good chicken place is), had road trip candies, and rocked out to music.

Aren't we super cute?

I know.

Here we all are after the blessing.

Hilary was even in town! Like I said. It was all meant to be.

The beautiful family.

Penny, Parents, Grandparents and great-grandparents!

Incredible!

Keri, Lindsay and Kiersten.

The 3 Musketeers!

These guys are a hoot. I love them so.

And here are the new additions! Andrew and Penny.

What beautys.

This is Lindsay. My fake older sister. We grew up just down the street from each other. I have always looked up to her. She is such an amazing example to me.

She is the proud mama.

This is Stephanie. One of my very best friends. More on her later :)

Also Proud Aunt #1

This is Bridget's bestie Sydney. 17 and beautiful. Just like Bridget :) They have both grown up so much. They are going to be seniors this upcoming school year! Be still my old heart. . .

Proud Aunt #2

This is Taylor. Last time I saw her she was about half the height. Okay, not really :) But still! I can't believe how much she has grown and matured. She is an amazing young woman.

She is Proud Aunt #3

This is Kiersten. Oh how I love her! She is gorgeous, full of fun and a strong woman. I have also known her pretty much my whole life. She means the so much to me. We have wonderful times.

I didn't get a picture of Keri holding Penny :( This is Keri. So happy to spend the weekend with her and reconnecting after her mission. Keri is basically a rock star. I love both of these girls.
