BLOG catch up......UTAH

FRIENDS......

We both had plenty of friends in Utah to catch up with...so much so that we felt spread quite thin and wish we had had more time....but loved the time we had..........

We stayed with Scot and Marj and there two cute kids. Felt very relaxed in their company and enjoyed the space their basement flat gave us. Scot is Anthony's best mate, best man at his wedding and Scot even named his son Dixon! Anthony loved being there, just enjoying sitting up late chattin to Scot. I enjoyed getting to know them better and enjoyed how chilled it was in their home. Im sorry the 'bromance' had to end but I'm sure Marj was happy to have her hubs back!! haha (Thank You Dunaways!)

And here is a pic of Dixon and Dixon.

I only got a few precious hours with The Abneys (Below), Hayley is an original Barr (you will hear more of this spesh family in a later post), But I'm so glad I got those few hours to see her and meet her hubs. Love that girl! Thanks Hayley for the travel treats!

Eating out with friends from my mission in Scotland.......

.....including Emma (below, middle), who is from Edinburgh but we meet up thousands of miles across the ocean in Utah ha. She was coincidentally there at the same time!

And I had yet another surprise meeting when eating out a few days earlier Ali Malin (above right, one of my comps and good friend from the mish) walks past me and gets my surprised super scouse 'ALI MALIN!' reaction. She hadn't expected to have been in Utah (Provo) and only got there the day before so it was brilliant to catch up with her and her little fam (cutest little girl who would sit on your knee and talk in all her wise baby language to you!). But again what are the chances? really? We had lots of little blessed happenings all along our trip!

Catching up with Melissa Bradley, The last time this trio was together was a very special December 2005!

We also spent time with The Hauths and The Mathews. Anthony met up with friend Garret Door too. It seems like it was all me and my friends but Anthony just isn't as trigger happy as me with the camera!
