Words Cannot Describe

I will explain all about our move at a later time.
I promise, I will go into details. 
For now, I want to take a minute to reflect on my amazing weekend.
Let me set the stage.

The last two weeks have been unbearable for the following reasons:

T has been in Wyoming (this is move related).*
I stayed at my parents house (my parents are not unbearable, it was just difficult moving all of my stuff and baby J's stuff for two weeks).
I had to work out temporary day care.
I had night duty.
Baby J was stressed out because we weren't in his normal environment.
It's the last month of school. 'Nuff said.
More standardized tests.
Coming to terms with us leaving AZ.  Without T being here.
I missed T something terrible.
T's sister Marty, got married this weekend.  Everyone was coming to it; ALL 10 of the Isom kids, including spouses were going to be there.  We knew T was already going to be up there, so we decided I should fly up there with Baby J. 

I was nervous about flying with a 4 month old.
By myself. 
I didn't want to be that woman with the screaming baby everyone was cursing under their breath. 
 The night before, I bit my fingernails down to nubs. 

This is the best picture I could take of us both with baby J strapped to my front.
Baby J did AWESOME!  I couldn't have asked for the smoother flight coming and back.  He was awake for both take offs and landings;  he just looked around every time.

I think even after only two weeks, I forgot how much I missed/loved/needed T.  It was almost like we were newlyweds (newlyweds with a baby, I s'pose).  Right after we got off the plane, T's brother DJ drove 3 1/2 hours straight to the town T has been working at.  He got to see baby J (who he missed horribly), and I got to see where we would be calling home very soon (I will go into more of THAT later, too!). 

Friday, we drove back down to Salt Lake.  What an amazing experience to witness T's wonderful sister make that kind of commitment!  Not only that, but every single one of T's brothers and sister (including spouses) got to be there in the temple to support her.  That sure does speak volumes of T's parents; every single one their children are worthy to attend the temple.  Needless to say there wasn't a dry eye in that entire room!
Just coming out of the temple.  This is my favorite part: seeing  their  faces. So in love.
Hangin' with nieces and nephews.  Waiting for the couple to come out.

All the Isom siblings.  This is going to be the last picture taken of all of them for awhile.  Marty is moving to Italy.  T's twin brothers are both going on missions to Chile in July.


The entire Isom clan.  Talk about a wild bunch!


Everything at the reception was wonderful.  The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was excellent, and it sure was fun catching up with people!


Then, I had to go back to P-town.  Without T.  At least I'm able to relive all the wonderful memories I had this weekend in my head...
*I just kept blogging like T was around; I wanted to least pretend we were together in the blogging world.

What a neat experience!! I love her dress too...perfect for a spring wedding!! T's siblings are easy to see that they're related!! I can't even imagine how rough things have been without T but the move is soon enough right?
