Let my heart take me where I want to be.

Over my mission my sister and brother in law decided to up and leave Utah. They didn't just move 1 or 2 states over, but rather 2,000 miles, to the great state of North Carolina. I love my sister and her husband. They have taken care of me, and watched over me.











Every once in a while, I get lucky, and more than a phone call but I get to go out there and see them. Actually 2 times over the past 2 years I have hopped on a plane and went for a visit. These visits have meant the world to me, and I need them much more than I think either Staci or Ryan ever realize. Just the time to be with them, to be able to talk with Ryan again about sports, girls, the gospel, and life in general. The time I get to spend with just me and Staci again. Doing what we do best, and just being Brother and Sister. Talking about life, and me probably bugging her to the point she gets sick of me.

So 2 plane rides, 5-9 states (depending on how you count), and over 2,000 miles later we were together again. :)












One of the highlights of this trip was meeting little Seven. The little baby that Staci is currently harboring. He is my nephew, and I love him. He even gave me a high five. I can't wait for that little guy to be here and then for me to be able to see him and be with him. I also look forward to playing with him, and hopefully being a part of his life. And isn't Staci one of the cutest little pregnant ladies you have ever seen?

A little side note on this trip out, concerning the rivalry between Duke vs. UNC I declared my allegiance to Duke. As you can see I was wearing my Duke shirt one day, and when confronted about it by a Carolina fan I defended Duke as if I were a Cameron Crazie. So in that moment I declared that I would from then on route for Duke. I think my family will agree with me, as we now all own Duke shirts.

So thanks for a good trip Ryan and Staci. I hope to be able to come out again soon. :)
