Utah

We flew to Utah on December 27th to spend the rest of our vacation with my family. It was much quieter at my parent's house, which was wonderful. Friday the 28th was a fun day. We got to see our friends Adam and Marisa from Bozeman for a couple of hours. Unfortunately it wasn't longer than that, but it was so good to see them. We also had a Reed family Christmas party that evening. We didn't have great attendance due to the weather, but those of us who were there had a good time. I got sick that evening which changed the rest of our stay. Jon ended up getting sick too, with a cold Saturday evening. Both of us were under the weather for several days. We spent a fun filled New Years Eve with Mom & Dad, Nicole & Scott, and Jon's sister Heather. Four of the seven of us didn't feel well that night, so we didn't have a wild party. Heather left around 10:00 and Mom went to bed at 11:00. The rest of us stayed up until midnight, although Jon and I wished we'd gone to bed. We just didn't feel very well. Jon got better much quicker than I did. I ended up getting a sinus infection, but luckily it wasn't as bad as others I've had. I got on an antibiotic and started feeling better after a few days. Once we both felt better, we tried to get everything in that we had wanted to do. We watched movies, played games, went out to eat several times, went shopping (just the girls), played the wii and had fun spending time with family. We also got to meet Nick's girlfriend Chante. We'd heard so much about her, and how wonderful she is, so it was fun to finally meet her. She fits right in with our family. We had a great time with both families. It was hard for me to say good-bye to my family. I love living in Mankato, it's just hard living so far from family.
