Utah Dash

The time came all too soon to return to Utah.

We already had return tickets to Utah (since we didn't hear back about the internship until a week before we left for Christmas break) so we used the time to dash back to our storage for essential items for the next six months. We flew back on Friday evening, Jon picked us up from the airport (at 11pm, bless that man's heart!) and he gave us a lift to our car. We then went to the storage unit, packed up our car, then crashed over at R&Js at midnight for some much needed sleep. We arouse early in the morning (8:30am... hehe. A little later than we had anticipated...) and winded our way back to our new California home. Thankfully, Mimi and Papa graciously allowed Riley to party with them these couple days while we travelled.

Although it was hard to leave Riley for any length of time, I was extremely grateful to know that she was in good hands, and that she was not screaming in the back of the car the entire way. Especially when we hit horrendous traffic in the mountains that delayed our journey for a couple hours. We received little updates here and there on how Riley was doing fine, which I really appreciated.

Happy Riley!

When we arrived back home around 9:30pm, it was so nice to be out of that car! And even though Riley woke up multiple times that night, I don't remember being so happy to hear her cry and be able to hold her again.
