The first night I got there (Thursday) we spent the evening at home. Josh has been living with Heidi and Ryan Allred (one of Josh's mission comps and his wife), but they were gone to the lake! Seriously about 20 min. after I got to their house, we heard the doorbell! It was Kris and Emily Holliday (another comp and wife) from San Diego. They were in town and stopped by to say hi to the Allred's but found us instead! Its was great getting to see them!
The next day Josh surprised my when he showed up with a rental car so we could go have some fun! But first things first, I went to a doctor appointment with him and then grocery shopping. After that we went up to Snowbird, ski resort!
It was so beautiful and green! We did a lot of fun things including... the ski lift, zip-line, mini bobsled slide, and the ski tram which took us up to the top of the mountain! It was gorgeous!
Us up at the top! It was windy and nice a cool up there! After we spent most of the day at Snowbird, Josh took me on a tour! We drove up to the U (university of Utah) where he showed me where most of his research is done and most of his time is spent! He works up at the Hutsman Cancer Center and of course down at the hospital! He has got to do many amazing things such as follow the doctor on clincals, stand in on all different types of intense surgeries and do write ups and drawings for different research projects! He has definately been staying busy! After that we drove his bike ride home! WOW! It was pretty far and a lot of up hill! He rides through beautiful neighborhoods and near the Salt Lake Temple and then up the hill to the capital, those are just a couple of the cool things he gets to see every day! I have to say I was impressed with how difficult the ride looks! Good Job, Babe!
That night Josh and I took Heidi and Allred to see Transformers 2 at the Imax! It was awesome!
On Saturday, we had a BBQ at the Allred's and Jamie, Trevor and Kendra Mattson came to hang out too (yet another mission comp and his family.) Chef Josh grilled steaks and bacon wrapped scallops! It was so good! After some delicious food we went to the lake on Allred's boat!

We had a blast, wakeboarding and just relaxing on the boat! Thanks Allred's for everything!
Sunday we went to church and then just relaxed the rest of the day! I flew out the next morning and now have my sisters with me! Pictures of that later!
I was so glad I got to visit my Josh and can't wait to have him living with me again! We had so much fun together and I am so very proud of him and all the hard work he is doing up there!

I love Utah in the summer. It is always pretty. I am glad you got to see Josh. Kody and I spent a summer apart when we were married for one year. It is hard. It will payoff in the long run. Plus, it makes your short visits filled with even more activites. ;)
That would be so hard to only get to be living without him- Glad you got ot go see him- Utah looks so nice in the summer compared to here.
Looks like lots of fun! I couldn't imagine being away from Chad for that long. I can only imagine it would be hard for both of you. I'm glad you got to go see him!
That's a lot of mission comps in one weekend! Josh must have loved seeing them, but I'm sure you were his favorite! :)
