the first amusing part of the trip came before we even left. brandon and i had to try to find a way to get a one-way trip to the airport (we drove home with the fam) that didn't include driving into downtown. whether or not this was our best alternative i will never know, but we took a shuttle directly from work which meantwe had to GET to work first. we hauled two suitcases, a duffel bag and two "carry-ons" onto the gold line, then onto the subway, then up that godforsaken hill to our work. i felt like the beverly hillbillies.
we spent a day and a half with brandon's fam in sandy (mostly all we did was eat, but it was fun...even though i have actually cut back my sugar intake. i know, i know, it's shocking). then we traveled down to provo to meet up with my fam for the wild wedding weekend.
lots of family time...
i had a little time to spend with my sis before she got married...weddings always make me a little sad because i feel like a phase of life is ending, but i pulled through. even though she WILL be living in rexburg for the next million years and i will rarely see her :(
but we will always have our myspace shots to look back on fondly :) do we look like twins in this or what? we didn't even pose it -- we both automatically make that face when a camera comes out.
other efforts completed while in the beehive state: trip to the byu bookstore (former workplace extraordinaire), good old modest utah clothes shopping, family bbq, costco run (UT costcos are SO different from CA ones), visits with my lovely friends erica and sami, and a drive by to my old home of deseret towers, which is sadly now a pile of rubble:
and then the pivotal event! cute little couple coming out of the provo temple on friday:
and coming out of the manti temple on saturday:
her hair did look quite fantastic :)
when i loaded all my pictures on my computer tonight i realized i had absolutely no group shots :( sad day! i put my cousins on camera duty and apparently they failed. oh well. the wedding was great and we all had fun. guess you can't ask for more than that.

aw....i wish i could have been there to see you!!!! I hope you had a fantastic time!
yay for UT visits! Seriously. SOOO much fun to see you. It's just a million times better than reading on elldub. :-)
And, glad that i got to see the Payzant family (myfavorite) and that my Brandon isn't mystery-boy anymore. :-)
So many good things happened over Memorial weekend, oh...except the weather!!!
Fun! Your sister looks darling! It looks cold in the pictures though. At least you got to go to Cafe rio. :)
i was in utah this past weekend too...we are such twins!
fun weekend! Wedding bliss time. Excited to hear more about it in person!
Congrats to your sister!
And seriously impressed that you took the subway to the airport. I have been wanting to do that for a while now and considered it for our upcoming trip. But uh, we fly out at 2am. Don't think that'll work.
Fun times with family. Sorry your sis will be soooo far away now. Rexburg is a different planet. J/k. My little sister will be there this fall.
Lil rach is married!! CRAZY!! where does all the time go!
