Jim surprised Landon by flying out to Utah on May 22nd, so he could watch Landon and his team complete at the state track meet. They fried that weekend, but it was all worth it since Juab took 1st place.! They were SO excited...it hadn't been done for 10 years. So of course they got the traditional ride into Nephi complete with fire engines, police cars and ambulances...now that's a fun thing to be a part of.
Jim flew back into Arizona first thing Monday morning, and went straight to work. We then took off that following Thursday. We stayed in Flagstaff for two days so Jim could get some work done. While he was working, I checked out a few place that Josh and Darci had asked me to look at. They found a nice apartment complex in a beautiful part of Flag, only a few miles from his school.
We then headed to Utah on Saturday, and stayed in a bed and breakfast there. We met up with Landon in Richfield on Sunday, so Jim could 'train' him at his new job with Wonder Bread. We spent most of the day there, then headed to Nephi. We got a lot done that week. I was able to go to lunch with the girls from work on Wednesday. That was a lot of fun.! I miss them. I could just kick myself for not getting my camera (which was in my purse no less) out and getting a picture of us. There was 9 of us total, and it would have been a super keepsake picture...ugh.
We also were able to get Landon an apartment in Provo. He is SO excited.! He's enrolled at UVU (formally UVSC) which is in Orem, but his apartment is closer to BYU. It's a lot of fun where he's at, tons of students, and his apartment has a ton of fun student amenities. He is in a 4 bedroom apartment, which all 4 bedrooms are private. He also has 2 of his friends rooming with him, so that should be interesting.!
Wednesday was the big day....GRADUATION. It was actually one of the most nonboring (I'm sure that's not a word) graduations I've ever been to. The kids' speeches were short and sweet, and the time flew. Landon was voted "Most Energetic" (Hmmm..go figure).
My mom and dad flew in Wednesday morning, so they were able to attend graduation too. The original plan was to go to the zoo on Thursday, but that plan went to pot as it rained and hailed. We froze that whole week, until it was time to go home, of course.
We stayed at our favorite B&B...our friends Steve and Kathy's house.! We went out to dinner and the comedy club with them for Kathy's birthday, on Thursday. That was lots of fun.! Then the long drive home on Friday.....
