We visited Utah again this last week. I didn't do a good job of taking pics so sorry you don't get any. I am so grateful for families. I learn so much from each member of both mine and Erik's families. Erik had a little business trip in Utah so he flew in Friday and drove home Monday. I don't know how we got so lucky to both go the same weekend. This isn't the first time his company has done this kind of thing. I think Allison and her cousin Jeffrey are finally friends. There was a shocking lack of fighting. It was fun to talk with my sister Jenny about her mission in Houston. She is home temporarily for surgery and returns in a few days. Jenny and I got a crazy idea to highlight Colleen's hair Tuesday evening. We'd never done it before but thought, 'how hard can it be?' We started kind of early to have plenty of time before Colleen's New Beginnings activity at 6:30 pm. But it went painfully slow. We weren't finished by the time she had to go. So we pulled up the part we didn't get to, she washed the rest, pulled it all back in a bun, and off she went. She was a very good sport, and we decided that was the end of our highlighting career. By some miracle it actually looked really good in the end. I think it's because it's Colleen, and she could pull off anything!
