Our Journey to Preston

Well we are back from our little trip to Preston. We had a wonderful time visiting family. I can't believe it had Christmas since we had been home. We left after work last Friday. Saturday and Sunday we hung out with my family. Joe and I had a blast driving my Mom's jeep around. I felt like Indiana Jones, especially with Joe's driving.

On father's day we cooked dutch oven potatoes and grilled some delicious steaks. I think the meal is quite possibly my favorite meal ever! We headed over to wish Keith a happy fathers day too.

On Monday, we went to Bear Lake for the annual Porter Reunion. We had such a good time. We stayed in the Suttons Cabin located just after you come out of Strawberry Canyon. It is so fun to see everyone. Between 4-wheeler riding, geocashing, EATING, and chatting there wasn't time for much else. The tradition of homemade gifts still lives on. Joe and I decided we wanted to make play-doh for our gift. It is always fun to see what everyone comes up with. I have some creative in-laws that's for sure! I don't know how they think of the fun ideas but they are always great. Wednesday we headed back to Preston to load everything up and get back to Boise. We brought Joe's motorcycle back to Boise with us. Hopefully it will save us some money on gas. Driving the truck to Meridian every day really adds up. After we unloaded everything from the truck we realized that all of the food storage I purchased wasn't going to fit where planned. I never thought I would say I propped my bed up for food-- I did though. We drove the motorcycle to Wal-Mart to get the bed proper-uppers. It was so fun but it is way more scary than just driving it around good ol' Preston; lots more traffic to worry about.

I have to admit that I could get used to only working on Thursday and Friday. All day today I kept thinking how excited I was to not have to work tomorrow. It seems as though we should play for 5 days and work for 2. Who decided that 5 days a week was the normal work week? Silly them.

Oh and this is what we did first thing when we got home. Max stayed at my parents while we were in Bear Lake. When we got home he was literally all green. He loves being on the farm where he can just roam free.
