...and if you're lucky you get two...
I don't know what it is about rainbows but I love them.
Maybe it's their ability to shine through the roughest of weathers.
Their simplicity.
Their color.
Their shere beauty.
Or maybe it's just how peaceful they make me feel.
Calm and Collected.
While driving up North to visit some family Blake and I hit some rainy weather.
I don't know what it is about the rain but it makes me sleepy, I was sleepy almost the whole ride.
It made me bummed.
"plays" the maracas and I dance.
It makes for some great adventures.
This trip was different though...
No music (Broken stereo)
No dancing.
No singing.
and in the absence of all the loud and 'obnoxious' gestures came something equally as great.
...heartfelt conversations...
of the future,
kids,
houses,
jobs,
church,
family,
friends,
love,
life.
and so much more.
It was so wonderful being able to talk about things so close to ones heart.
especially with one who loves that previously mentioned heart with their own fully.
and as the rain cleared up and our conversation came to an end we pulled over
to enjoy something together as simple and beautiful as a rainbow.
When we finally got to Orem we said all our 'Hellos', Blake showed off his new truck a bit and then we enjoyed some pizza and called it a night.
Our pups did SOOO good on the drive up!
The next morning, bright and early, Blake and I hit up the lake with my Dad, and Kevin and Jill and our pups. We wakeboarded for a little bit and then Kevin and Jill took off only to be replaced with Holly, Ricky and my handsome nephews Jayden and Jax.
Maylee and Foxie both loved the boat (thanks Dad for letting us make a mess of it!)
Blake took a try at surfing and he did pretty good!
May bear made a point of watching him.
Look at those two.
Blake and I also tried surfing together...
at first it was... well hard....
We'd get up...
Only to fall again...
But then we had it all figured out...
And Blake turned on his charm...
And we experienced another moment with one another that will never be forgotten...
Later that night I went to my little sisters sweet 16 birthday party
with Blake, my sisters and their boys.
I had so much fun!
Eating my Grandmas delicious Peruvian food that I have missed waaayyy to much.
Dancing my heart.
Seeing my family.
Dressing up.
and sharing many, many laughs with loved ones.
Sunday we had a wonderful dinner at my parents, meat, potatoes, veggies, french bread, all the good stuff!
As always our time there was way to short
and I couldn't help but cry as we said our goodbyes.
But we'll be back again soon.
So until then Orem, keep my heart safe.
XOXO:: Mrs. Thompson
