Jeff and Abby

January 2nd was the day my brother actually got married, and for a kid who's lived in the south for two and a half years, going back to Utah is a harsh return to reality in the winter. We drove all the way, which meant three long days in a car with my family, and don't get me wrong, I love my family...but after three days...well it's not such a fun thing. We got out of the car in Logan, and I was so tempted to get back in, and tell my parents we needed to go back south, but I didn't, because that would have meant I wouldn't get to see anyone. Anyways it was pretty awesome being out there, my other sister Nicole was SUPER pregnant, and that was bizarre. We had a few days in Utah before the wedding, which we spent with Nicole, and her husband Gary, and on occasion Jeff and Abby. When wedding day finally did come, we drove an hour down to Bountiful where they were getting married in the temple (since the Logan one wasn't open yet), and I got to spend all that time in the waiting room (which I also did for Nicole). Then we drove around Bountiful for a little before the wedding breakfast, and then we went to that. I learned this fun little game (if you don't mind PDA too much) where a group of people would start hitting their glass with their utensils, and then the bride and groom would have to kiss, it annoyed me at first, but then I thought it was kinda cool. After that we drove up to Brigham City where we spent a little time at Nicole's father-in-law's house where I saw the beginning of Bourne Ultimatum. Then we went to Abby's old ward building where the reception was, and I got to see a lot of people from my old ward including my second family, the Hendricksons. Jeff made fun of me when he saw me talking to their daughter (who just happens to be one of my best friends, and my age), but it was worth it. After the thing was finally over we headed back up to Logan where our hotel was. The next day I went out and gave myself a tour of Utah State University campus, and I must say I fell in love. My brother (the youngest sibling, but older then me, and single) and I went to Jamba Juice after that, and if you've never had a Jamba Juice smoothie your life is not complete. After that day we had to drive all the way back down to the south...and that was the amazing trip we went on over Christmas. I would add more detail, but I'm afraid I've already bored you to tears... so I guess it's time to go.
This is Zelos signing off,
Hasta la vista.
