Trip to Thatcher

After almost 2 years, we got to go back to Thatcher last weekend. Words cannot even describe how amazing it was to go back there. So many memories came rushing back into our heads. We drove with our friend Randon and drove down Friday night and stayed at our friends, his aunt's, house (Thank you so much Michelle). We use to go over to their house alot when we lived there and it was so good to see them. They have so many cute kids.
On Saturday, we got up and had a lazy morning, we had breakfast and then didn't leave their house until about 12. We went and saw our cousin Rachelle and her family happened to be there too. It was a real treat to see them all. Then we went and had to get our oil changed so we did a little sightseeing and shopping. Afterwards, we went and saw the family of the autistic boy that Nate worked with for about a year he was there. Those kids are so big too, it's amazing how long we have been gone. We can't believe how well their son is progressing and how smart he is.
We left there and bought a present for our friend Adrianna and her new husband Daniel. The main reason for us to go down was to go to her reception. So we bought her gift and then went to get changed and headed over there. She didn't know we were coming so it was a total surprise. She looked so beautiful and everything was so awesome. We got to see some old friends and it was alot of fun.
Unfortunately, all fun trips come to an end. We had to drive the 4 hours back to Flagstaff that night so that I could be back to teach my class at church the next day. We were glad when we came home but we definately have thoughts of maybe moving back therer one day. It's such a great place!


(how can you not love these cute kids?)
