Occasionally, after going to school and working tirelessly for what seems like an eternity, you get a little break to the monotony in the form of the family visiting from far off Florida.
Inevitably this is a time full of fun, a time for a renewal of groceries and car maintenance, family outings to various touristy spots, restaurants, tons of questions about how your doing, who your dating, why haven't we met her or heard about her yet, you look skinny are you eating enough, etc. etc. etc. forever and forever.
That being said, I loved every minute of it, and they came for two weeks. I didn't realize how much I missed my family till they came and visited. Sure, I have the cursory phone conversation every Sunday, but I've never been a phone person and it's not nearly the same thing as talking to my mom and dad in person.
There were plenty of opportunities for conversation. We went kayaking down the provo river, took a lift at Sundance up the mountain and then hiked down past something something falls, and hiked up to temp cave. We visited a nice assortment of restaurants including chile's and olive garden, mixed nicely with a spattering of picnics and homecooked meals together at my grandmothers house. On Sunday we went and saw the tabernacle quire sing, and afterwards stopped at this ginormous furniture store for lunch at their in house swedish kitchen.
Now that they are gone, I'm back to missing them and the moment of sunlight is gone. Until next time.
