Dear Utah

Hello Utah, and people/things associated with Utah. I hope that you know how much I like you, because I have committed to doing the most horrifically boring thing in the world in order to pay for plane tickets to come see you. I have to enter 400 surveys to cover the cost, and I'm currently at 25. Let me just say that I would rather perform manual labor than have to input surveys. It is almost torture. And it takes away from time I could be doing more productive things, like surfing Pinterest. But I know all this will be worth it when I step off the plan in less than two weeks now into that dry Utah air!!! Things I am excited about:

- Family and friends (duh, goes without saying)
- Dry air
- Fry sauce
- NORMAL streets and intersections
- People obeying traffic laws
- Not being honked at .5 seconds after the light turns green
- MOUNTAINS!!!!! Mountains mountains mountains mountains MOUNTAINS MOUNTAINS MOUNTAINS MounNTaiNS mOUnTaiNs MOUntaINs MOUNTAINS MOUNTAINS MOUNTAINS!!!
- Having an opportunity to sleep in
- Not being in charge of a household
- Not having to bring my own Dr Pepper when we go out to eat (yes, I actually do that here)
- The Temple

And many many more things. What am I not excited for? Missing my husband, and flying alone on a plane with a 9-month old..... I think if she starts crying and people are annoyed, I will literally start crying, so please pray for us!
Thank you Utah for being so wonderful, I will see you on November 6th!

Love, Alli and Haddy

  1. I recently visited Utah for my sister's wedding. Philadelphia intersections are much more normal than anything I saw in Utah.

  2. Yay yay yay! Let's do lunch or dinner with the girls while you are here! How long are you visiting for? Let me know what your schedule is like when you arrive and we'll get something put together :D

  3. We've flown a lot with Owen - from our experience people are generally understanding of kids. Good idea to give her a bottle when taking off, helps keep her ears from hurting with the pressure. We have this too: http://amzn.com/B0036QLHKC which has been a lifesaver on flights (and car rides).
