On Labor Day we were blessed to have Matt travel up from Vegas on his way to Rexburg to stay with us for a couple of days. We had had a bad storm that morning and when we traveled down to Lehi to pick him up, we decided it would be better to bring all his belongs with us rather then leave them in the truck he rode up in for a week. Apparently the truck he rode in was quite small and he was cramped on the ride up, he said that even though we barely fit all his belonging in the car and he had to hold Cynthia's and Joe's Kitchen Aid mixer that it was still more comfortable then the ride up from Vegas. We enjoyed having him stay with us for the week, he was left to entertain himself most of the time due to our work schedule, but we enjoyed playing Rumicube with him every night and he won every game but one. It was also fun to go out shopping with him to get the last of the things he needed for his apartment at school. By the time we finished getting everything he needed for school, we were not sure how we were going to fit us and all his stuff into either of our cars for the trip up on Friday the 5th, but since we were seriously thinking about getting rid of both of our cars and trading them in for one newer more reliable car, we decided to do it before the trip, so on Thursday afternoon we went looking for a car, we found a 2007 Jeep Compass with low miles for a great price, it is a small 4x4 SUV and so we had plenty of room for all of Matt's stuff! During his stay at our place he stayed awake all night while we were at work and so as you can see in the picture, found himself sleeping much of the morning, even on his trip up to school. Matt was so excited to finally be to school and to see his old missionary companions, it was nice to see how happy and excited he was to be there! We are so proud of you Matt!

I didn't know you had a blog! I love it. :) It was so good to see Matt when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's. They were just saying the day before that they hadn't seen him since he got home and didn't expect to so I'm really glad that you guys brought him by. I think they were very glad to see him. :) I'm also glad that he made it up to school. It's hard when you get home from your miss and not knowing what to do with yourself until you get back into the next step in your life. School. Then things sort of fall back into place and you have purpose. I'm excited for all the fun times ahead. :)!
Matty is such a great brother! I wish I could see him more often up here, but he seems pretty busy and preoccupied, so I don't want to bother him. I think he's loving it up here though!
