Colorado Reception

By Aubrionna Robison -

We obviously slept in after driving all day and late into the night. We spent the morning getting ready and organizing all the things we need to take to Bakersfield. We ran some needed errands to deposit all the gift money into the bank, moving my money to Dan’s bank account and getting me a debit card for his account. We picked up Chinese for lunch for everyone at the house and soon after my parents arrived. We went through the gifts from Boise and spent the rest of the afternoon getting everything ready for the reception. It had started to look really windy and cloudy but in the distance the sun was totally coming out. As we got into the car to drive to the community park it started raining. I was just praying the weather would get better. I personally didn’t care that it was raining but I didn’t want all the hard work that went into this open house to go to waste! It was breaking my heart and we were all praying it would pass. The wind was insane but within 10 minutes the rain started to die down and the most beautiful rain bow I have even seen came out! It was a full complete rainbow and then a second one almost started! It was so pretty and such a good sign! The rest of the evening had perfect weather.

We had such a good turnout in Colorado and it was so fun to meet all of Dan’s friends and people from his ward. I got to meet people I’ve only heard about so it was awesome. We had great food is a casual setting, it was perfect! We had a wonderful night and it was a lot of fun. We cleaned up everything went through and organized the gifts and said goodbye to my parents. I won’t see them until Christmas! They drove to Vail and met my grandparents there to stay.

We packed up everything in the car and luckily all our stuff fit! I'm pretty sure we even had room to spare. Kudos to me not bringing everything! We ate and then left to drive to vegas then stayed a night, then drove the rest of the way to Bakersfield!

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address...

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou...

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being...
