Natalie's Trip North

I have been home from "The Frigid North" as Quin and I call it, also known as Utah and Idaho for over two weeks now, so I figured that it was time for me to post my pictures. I LOVE to look at pictures, but I never think to take them. The only reason I have these is because Quin and I talked on the phone about 10 times a day while we were apart and he told me to remember to take pictures every time we talked.

I had so much fun, it was good to see my family again, but I missed Quin so much. One of the reasons I went up to Utah when I did was for my little sisters baby shower. She is having a baby the end of July and Quin's place as the favorite will be usurped.

This is a scan of the invites. Amazingly enough, Quin helped me come up with the idea, sometimes I think he is more crafty than I am.

Manda is holding up her gift from me, burp cloths that I sewed. I thought we got a picture of me making them, but we couldn't find one.

Amanda and I made this diaper cake from scratch as the center piece. Quin told me to take lots of pictures. I got a ton of Amanda holding up her gifts and of the decorations and the food, but I didn't even think to take any of all of Amanda's friends and family. Oh well, next time I guess.

Amanda, my mom, and me at the end of the night. You can't really see it, but Amanda is large with child.

I managed to get up to Idaho for a night while I was in the vicinity. While I was there, Alyssa had a tea party with Johnny. It was the funniest thing. Johnny kept trying to run away and Alyssa would run him down and haul him back to the table. He finally gave in and sat there long enough for her to serve him. Of course, I don't have any pictures of anybody else because Quin forgot to remind me.

We took this picture the morning I left. I was so sad to go. I miss how beautiful it is there and I miss my family. This is a great picture though, I got a little bit of Quin's dog in the background.
