Are You Ready to Rumble?!!!

Ok I feel like that song is playing in the background of everything I'm doing today. Tomorrow morning I'm off on a grand adventure. Seriously, I'm a little stressed about leaving town again tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn, but it will all work out OK in the end. I just have to make it until the end of the day, right? Just looked at the clock. WHAT!? Its only 11:00! I guess that's good news, right?!

Well, thanks to these two adorable love birds, I'm leaving on a jet plane to Chicago at "Oh-dark-thirty" (to quote my dad) tomorrow morning.

Yes, I'm stressed, but this next week is going to be a lot of fun for a variety of reasons.

Reason #1: Who doesn't love Chicago? I won't be there for long, but a little shopping on Michigan Ave won't hurt anyone. :) Reason #2: Milwaukee. I've been there a few times before with Melissa and even though I've only been during the summer, I think its a great place. While there, I'm also going to meet my new favorite third cousin! We've become pretty good friends the past few months, so we'll have good times on Saturday night for sure.
Reason #3 I'm going to Nauvoo! I do have Zundel and Clayton ancestors that lived here about 150 years ago, so its always a special place to go visit. Its also where Melissa & Aaron are getting married. Such a beautiful place.

Reason #4: I get to hang out with these characters. I know that I've said it before, but they are family to me. I just love being with them. The time we have together is just never enough.

After my adventures in the mid-west, I'll be heading back to the Inter-Mountain West to spend time with friends and family that I feel like I haven't seen in forever!

I won't be blogging probably for a while unless its from my phone, but expect lots of pictures when I get home. Have a good week everyone!
