February 2015

I really better post about last year since it's already February 2016! I'm learning that keeping up with a blog and littles is a bit tricky, BUT I do want to document our life so we can look back.

February 2015 was a CRAZY month, it would be deemed as our month of travel for sure. It started with a fun visit from my sister, Laura. She wanted to see the kids and get a taste of Austin before she headed out on her mission. We had a great time showing her the highlights of the city, and many of those highlights involved food. :) We made a quick trip to the River Walk in San Antonio and visited the temple. We savored the time we had with her and it went all too quickly.

Right when Laura headed home, Kate, Mason and I flew out to DC to see Dave and Alissa in Richmond and my friend, Amy, with her new baby. It was so great to be with family and have some time with 'Dude and Lissa.' A definite highlight was going to see the ducks and feeding them bread. Dave and Alissa live in a beautiful forest town that has a small pond in the middle. Mason couldn't get enough of the ducks. I could move to Southern Virginia in a heartbeat if Brett could find a job that didn't consume his life. Virginia is so charming, plus, it's even better to have family there.

After a fun trip to DC and Virginia, we flew home quickly to host some Valentine parties and then it was back to the airport. Mason and I flew out to Utah to see my sister off on her Mission. I'm so glad we had the chance to be with her that last week. It's crazy to think that it's been a year since she left and she has had incredible experiences that have blessed her life and the people there.

February was a whirlwind of events but lots of memories were made and we got to see lots of people we love.
