Vampire Weekend

When I found out I was allowed a "trip home" - you know, because my wife and kids haven't moved yet - I started plotting right away. I had just moved, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Did I really need to go back to SLC? Yes. And I decided a surprise would be lots more fun.

I wasn't sure how surprised the sisters would be, seeing as I had just moved 11 days before and I would be seeing them for Thanksgiving in another 6 days. Was it really enough time to miss me? Sam went to an early Breaking Dawn showing and as she was walking out of the theatre to her car there I was - the stalker creepily lurking by her car.

Then we went to Yogurtland and surprised Caisa. Sam was shocked and excited. Caisa just looked at me and said, "You would." Then we stayed up way too late talking. Had an old school Friday Night Dinner at Teppanyaki. Dragged Caisa to a Saturday matinee of Breaking Dawn. And enjoyed Cafe Rio with Shannan and Evan.

I think Sam's tweet says it all:
It's almost unhealthy how good of a mood my sisters, #twilight, and @melissastewart5 put me in. #notsosecretobsessions

All she needed to add was: catching up over breakfast with my two favorite brides-to-be Kathy and Kathryn, hitting the chocolate chip jackpot in the cookie dough, seeing Candice, oh and Diet Coke. I really was incredibly happy all weekend.

Surprise!


Love her . . . and her Team Edward obsession.


Wait, we haven't taken any photos this weekend?!

Oh SLC to JFK, I know that flight all too well. And it's worth every minute.
