WHEW! The training is finally over!

So after 2 weeks of very hard training, our brains are officially squishy!   We really did have a hard week!  PROMISE!  Monday we were in training from 8-4:30 pm.  We then met Sara and Hadley at Costco to get some stuff!  We had a nice dinner and Christmas shopping fun at Shopko.  Tuesday we had class from 8-4:30 and then grandkids Kaylee and Channy met us at our hotel.  We walked down and caught trax to City Creek!  Pizza and Red Iguana were the food of choice.  We caught trax again and rode it to the Jazz game.  We were there early, so we got pics with Thurl Bailey.  He is tall and he has big hands!  The game was fabulous cause we won!  
Wednesday was groundhog day with the training. (actually the training was very good and very necessary, but it is very hard to sit and pay attention for that long!)  Beka and Mitch came to our hotel and we drove up to Logan to visit with Spencer.  He can't come down this weekend to say goodbye so we went up there.  We had a great dinner and a sad goodbye!  (This goodbye thing is going to go really well on Saturday morning, I can just tell!)  Thursday we had training only until noon!   Yay!   We stopped at a few places to pick up some things like cream of tartar and poultry seasoning to take to Mexico.  They tell us to bring it because we can't get it down there!  We spent Thursday afternoon working in the yard tearing out geraniums and trimming trees!  Why do the weeds even grow in the   
cold???  We took Elaine out to dinner at Red Robin.  She ordered a huge salad, a chocolate shake and sweet potato fries. Oh my!  We enjoyed visiting with her!  The sad thing is I only have pics from Tuesday.  I missed Sara, Hadley, and Spencer. I feel bad about that cause I usually am taking tons of pics.   FRIDAY - our last day in America, drinking water out of the tap - as our kids keep reminding us!  We spent the morning packing - AGAIN!  We are maxed out on our 50 lb. weight limit, for sure.  Of course, Greg used 1 and 1/3 of the suitcases and I am using 1 and 2/3 of them!  Here it is 4:30 pm and we are packed!  We are now waiting for 5:45  tomorrow morning.  Ho hum!  What to do now for the rest of the night!   I am quite exhausted from holding back all these tears that want to come tumbling out!   We went to dinner with 4 of the 6 kids and spouses! We saw a couple that we have spent 2 weeks of training with!  It really is a small world after all!   Love my kids!!!!   Adios!
