Trip to Utah

Isaac, Sophie, and I spent the whole month of September in Utah. Isaac was working at the University of Utah studying Pathology. We had a very busy month visiting family and friends. Here are some of the things we did:

Sophie was amazing on the flight to Utah. She had a massive blowout as we were boarding the plane from Milwaukee. It was a challenge to get it cleaned up in the airplane bathroom, but she slept the rest of the flights and was a perfect angel.

The day after we got to Utah, Isaac's sister got married. We enjoyed meeting her new husband, attending the temple, and having fun at the reception. (Sorry, I don't have any pictures.)

A few days later we traveled to Star Valley, Wyoming, where Isaac's family has a small farmhouse. Sophie was great during this drive as well. Isaac even got to raft the Snake River with his family.

Sophie was blessed in my parent's ward one Sunday. Isaac gave a beautiful blessing, although Sophie screamed throughout the entire prayer. Her blessing dress was made by Isaac's mom.

Sophie also watched the Utes cream BYU in the annual rivalry game. Sophie got a new Ute onesie for the occasion. (Actually, Sophie doesn't care much for football. She slept through the game except for the times she was startled awake with her dad's cheering.)

The remainder of the month was spent enjoying time with family and friends. My mom and I made a Quiet Book for Sophie. And Isaac really enjoyed the University of Utah's Pathology program--even though he had to work long hours. We are very grateful to our families for hosting us for such a long time. And we were so glad they all got the opportunity to meet our sweet little Sophie.
