The BIG Easy

Yeah- I finally have time to post some pics of out much anticipated (Merry Christmas Blaine) trip to New Orleans.
Well, they did it. Utah went out 13 and 0, and we were lucky enough to be there! It was awesome. The atmosphere there was awesome. At least seventy thousand people (which literally looked like a sea of red) lined the streets of New Orleans for the big game days before it started. That meant we didn't get to use the car we rented s0 we had to park it for $30 a day-ouch! The food was incredible as expected and the people were very nice. We did a little sight seeing and had fun at the Ute's luncheon. It felt so much like home because we saw so many people that we knew there :)
I'm not going to lie. I did miss the kids, but it was very nice and enjoyable to have a little get-a-way with just Blaine and I! I feel that every parent should schedule a little time off. What a refreshing way to start the year. I am so excited for 2009. It is going to be the best year for our Fam. I have learned (finally) that life is what you make it. It's a lot of work, but we are going to "make it" and create the fun enjoyable life that we want. You should too! We wish you all a very happy new year!

I'm glad you guys had such a great time and yes, a vacation without the kids is awesome even though you still miss them! :)

According to DeVon, he was glad to have gone with the neighbors, but when he saw you two together it made him jealous & he wished I was there with him instead of being with the guys. He keeps talking about how Blaine & Kayti went together & we should have too. Way to go you two!
