Saturday December 7

We headed to Utah this morning.

The drive was a pretty good one.

We meet up with Madi and Logan and then caravanned to Chuck a Rama where we met up with the Matthews clan.

We got to see so many family members... And we missed those who couldn't come.

We have such great people in our lives!

Then we went to go see the lights at temple square.

But Logan told Madi he needed to get a tie to his roommate who was in salt lake for the weekend and forgot his tie.

Madi was a little ticked off and pretty irritated 😂😂😂

Well, he actually took her there to propose.

It's very exciting.... Very crazy, but exciting.

You know. 

We tried to talk them into waiting a little longer.

But you can only push so much before they shut you out and that is for sure not what we want.

We really like Logan.

He fits into our family really good.

And it's exciting to think of the future with them together.

They have picked April 25..... So that's not too far away!!!!!

Anyway....

Meanwhile, we dropped Cassi and Elsie off at our meeting point and went to go find parking.

Well it was like 45 min to an hour and we still hadn't found a spot!!!

Dad and I were a little frustrated and irritated with each other.

Port was with us and he said, why don't we say a prayer.

So he did.

Port said the best prayer I think he has ever said.

He thanked Heavenly father for the fun night and then he said that we were having trouble finding a spot to park.

And then he asked for help finding a spot.

He used the sweetest words and he was so sincere.

I was like.... Oh man, please answer this sweet boys prayer!!!!

Well, we didn't find a spot right away.

Finally went into the mall parking and found a spot.

We walked through the food court and Porter spots my sister Rachel and her whole family!

In a food court jam packed with people, and we run into them!

We talked with Porter how, in order for that to happen, we had to have waited for the parking spot.

Kind of fun way to answer a prayer with a little reward added in ❤️

We also ran into them while looking at lights.

We were taking a picture and dad starts yelling at this guy.

Madi and Logan and Cassi were like, wire, dad is being rude!

But then it ended up being Alberto.

So funny!

We all got a good laugh 😂

We are staying in a vrbo tonight and will leave in the morning to see the Halls and so see the rest if the Peterson family that are here in Utah.

It's a fun family filled weekend!!!!
