My first home with Eric, not the top but the little, green shag carpet covered basement dwelling.

A visit to my Freshman year home

A building I spent a lot of time in so that I could be with Eric.

I spent Thanksgiving of 2012 away from my family and spent time with my family.  Confusing right?  My nephew got baptized the Saturday after Thanksgiving so I flew out to Utah and spent 5 days there with my sister and her family as well as my parents.  I also got to have some time with some Martins too (well, some really have the name Malfatto.)  I have to admit is was nice to have a "vacation" but I really missed my family here. 

I have a lot of memories in Utah and it was fun to visit memorable sights and people, like my BYU days friend Kari.  We can always pick up right where we left off.  It was fun to walk around BYU campus and see the changes, see the mountains and eat at Cafe Rio.  All in all a great trip but I was very happy to be home and very happy I didn't miss my flight (but that is another story.)
