Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! It's off to Utah I go!

All my bags aren't packed
and I'm not ready to go
but soon I'll be standin outside the Weekley door
I'll wake my hubby up to say goodbye
(cause I'll be leaving at the buttcrack of dawn)

Blake, Sissy and Grant better...

Kiss me and smile for me
Better be waiting at the door for me
and hold me like they'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin in a car (not a jet plane)
and I do know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go...(only because the fifteen hour car ride isn't going to be what I would call oodles of fun and this will be the longest we've ever been separated)

You heard right folks, I'm heading out to the land of milk and honey in a couple of weeks to go visit this cute little family.



This has been the longest I have EVER gone without seeing my older sis Liz (almost 2 years) and I just can't stand it any longer. It saddens me to think that I have a new nephew that I haven't even met. Living far away really is the pits! I'll be making the 15 hour or so trek down by myself as well so that should be fun! Mike would love to come but alas, finals will be upon him, and there will be no time to spare. So it's just me, some great tunes and the open road. I've made the trek before and it really isn't too bad. I hope I get the chance to see some great friends of mine as well. I lived in P-Town (aka Provo, Utah) for almost three years and had a blast. I met some amazing friends and I know we'll be bosom buddies forever!

Here's how far I'll be driving (in case your curiosity is getting the best of you)



Before I make the long trek, Mike and I are heading down to Calgary next weekend to celebrate this little cutie patootie's 1st birthday. I can't believe she is already one. Man how times flies! (with the exception of being pregnant cuz time seems to be dragging)

As far as baby updates, my next doctor's appointment is on Monday so hopefully he'll be able to let me know when my next ultrasound will be. Mark my words: I will wait on that ultrasound table as long as it takes to discover the sex of this little bambino! ;) (unless I am escorted out by security guards of course but let's hope it doesn't have to come to that). We hope to buy a good digital camera soon (thanks to tax returns) so hopefully I'll have some pics up soon. Brace yourselves!! ;)

Hahahah... I would put it on and sing loud to it when you'd ride in my car and tease me about being country. LOL!!!!
