This past weekend we made a trip to Oregon for Josh & Sam's sealing in the Portland Temple. I decided to try and take work with me so that I wouldn't have to use 3 vacation days. My boss agreed to let me only use 2 vacation days, which I think turned out to be fair based on the amount of phone calls and emails I took.
The sealing was good. Dad started crying. Josh said yes too early (he was just too excited I guess). I think it was a great experience. The reception turned out better than I was expecting it too after hearing about all the things that they were going to or not going to do.
I hope that Sam (especially) and Josh appreciate what I did for them in protecting their car. The family that Josh married into is a little more redneck than some, and they were wanting to put baby powder in the air vents and limberger cheese on the manifold and a few other things. They even tried to say that I wasn't playing along well enough because I wouldn't let them do those two things. I think we got the car pretty good. Everyone knew they were newly weds, and we even got some cans attached to the back of the car which no one say until they started to drive away (the way it should be).
We spent a few days looking for a car while we were in Oregon since we rented a car to drive up. My car was making some funny sounds right before we were supposed to leave so we decided to rent a car to be safe. We didn't really find a ton that we liked, but we saw a couple that might have been possibilities. Too bad we didn't have more time. I think when we do decide to buy a car we will end up doing it in Oregon since they were significantly cheaper there than in California.
The trip home wasn't too bad. We hit some traffic in the construction areas of I-5 that caused huge delays since the road closed down to one lane two different times instead of just staying one lane to cover both of the areas. We also hit a little traffic on I-80 but things went pretty smoothly once we hit 680. It ended up taking us nearly 10 hours to get home instead of 8 1/2 or 9.

It was good to see you all again. Hannah is really growing up.
I'm sure Josh is very appreciaative of you for keeping the stinky cheese away from their car.
By the way, our landscpe is beautiful....everyone loves it, and I have to admit it's the easiest yard I've every had to take care care of. I might find a weed every other week or so............I love it.
