Fish and Visitors
You know what they say about fish and visitors don’t you? They stink after 3 days. Well we had family come for 4 days to visit. Enough said
No actually, it was a great visit. The kids loved seeing Mombee and Uncle Joey and Stinky Tia and Uncle Justin. Everyone just left and the kids stayed up so late last night they didn’t get up to say goodbye.
Everyone got here at 1:30am Tues morning. I know cause I got a call saying, “Where exactly is your house again?”
That was fine because I wasn’t really sleeping anyways. I was excited that everyone was coming. Unfortunately I had to get up the next morning and go to work. That morning, Juli made everyone (except me) a huge breakfast and they just lounged around while I was at work. Do you notice a theme here? I’m at work when I get a text saying they are coming into town. We decide to meet at the Joesph Smith Memorial Building for lunch. We ate at The Garden and then went over and Joey and Mom took a tour of the new Church History Library. I went back to work. After work we met up at the Family History Library where Joey was doing some family history research. He came up for that, not to see us. Jerk. How bout your family in the now Joey?! Just kidding, he is great about doing that and a good example for the rest of us. Once he wrapped up we walked over to the Conference Center and took a tour of that building. 1.4 million square feet if you didn’t know. Afterwards we went home to relax.
Wednesday, Joey and I got up early and went to work. He went to the Family History Library and I worked half a day until we met up for lunch again with Mom, Tia and Justin. I got them passes to the Church Office Building where we went down to the cafeteria to eat. Afterwards, we went to the 26th floor’s observation deck. Wow what a view! Tia post some pictures of that! After the tour we walked over and saw the Joesph Smith movie where Joey cried like an inconsolable baby. It was sad, Joey’s crying that is. The movie was sad and good but man Joey, pull it together. I can say all this now because he is gone and probably wont come back. By the time I see him again, he will have forgotten the sting of my comments.
Friday, I decided to take the day off. We had some house stuff to take care of so my Mom and Joey went back downtown and we were going to meet them around 12:00pm to go to a session in the Salt Lake Temple. We all met up and got a bite to eat, went to the temple and it was closed! Joey knew it was closed but we didn’t listen to him. So Joey went back to the Family History Center and Juli, my Mom and myself went and did a session at the Jordan River Temple. We all met back up and just hung out at the house. It was a lot of fun to have everyone here. Hopefully the basement didn’t freeze you guys out so that you will want to come back.

This is a picture of either Tia not wanted to leave, or realizing that Joslin pee’d on her in the night.



BK-
Thanks for the recap! Not many people know what a big baby Joey is when it comes to churchy stuff. Thanks for telling the world what I deal with. I wish I could have come, too. Next time I’m ditching Joey with the kids and coming up. I won’t stay longer than three days though…I would hate to stink up the place.
