oh, utah.

From Powell...me and Doug said our goodbyes to the fam, 

but mostly to Matix....

and headed up north to

Alpine, Utah

for Doug's cousin Spencer's  mission farewell
i stayed at my aunt tauna's house and it was so much fun to see my cute cousins.
it's been way too long.
and luckily they live exactly 1.1 mile from doug's aunt's house. SCORE.

We were there Thursday through Sunday, for all the family affairs. 

We floated down the provo river in tubes, which was so much fun, 

except for the few near death experiences, no big deal. 

roasted hot dogs and road segways up at the family cabin in provo canyon

Me and spencer…we are basically best buds now.

Too bad he's now in sweden for the next two years.

haha

Now onto the best part of the weekend…

did i mention that spencer’s last name is MONSON. 

Yep you know like THOMAS  S. MONSON. 

Yep like his great uncle is the PROPHET. 

Well, let me just tell you what happens when you are related to the prophet like that…

he not only comes to your farewell…he SPEAKS at it…and then drives (i mean gets driven) over to you house (ugghhmmm the house i was at all weekend) 

and hangs out with the family, 

and SETS YOU APART AS A MSSIONARY! (and doug was in the circle) 

talk about awesome awesome awesome. 

So basically what im trying to say here is that me and the prophet=bff's already

Okay im lying, but still. 

But how jealous are all of you that i shook his hand, and got a picture with him, and basically kicked it with him. Yep, i told you, my life is just one big party!

sorry guys, no pictures of the prophet on the 'ole blog. 

it's against the family rules

and i cant get shunned by the family...

not yet anyways. 

i guess you'll just have to believe me
