Best. Weekend. Ever.

Last weekend Jabin flew Andy, Hillary, and myself to Wyoming for a super fun weekend.  We left Friday, after a lot of  worrying that we would have to drive instead of fly if the weather didn't cooperate, and flew into Cody.  The flight was very smooth and way more scenic than the drive.  My parents, Jill, Christian and the boys were waiting at the airport when we landed.  We had planned to go to the Cody Night Rodeo, but we got in a little later than planned and had missed most of it.  We opted for some DQ instead and then headed to Powell.  The main reason we planned this trip was so Jabin could ask my dad for permission and blessing.  That night Jabin cornered my dad before he went to bed and got the big question out of the way.  He wouldn't tell me everything that happened, just that he said yes.  He was smiling an awful lot so I knew it went well (not that I was really worried about that anways).

Pilot and Co-Pilot

Saturday we partied on the lake all day.  We got to the lake at about 11 or 11:30 and Jill and Christian brought their boat as well.  We headed out to the Causeway to check out the water and it ended up being amazing water! We played out there for quite a while.  Jason skiied and then Jabin wanted to attempt the slalom ski.  He had never gotten up before but had only tried it a couple times.  He got right up on the first time using Fatty McGee (the ski).  He was a natural! I then skiid and Hillary skiied behind Jill's boat. Dad skiied on Fatty as well. Andy and Hill both wakeboarded and Christian and Jabin kneeboarded.  We were all enjoying the beautiful water and hot weather.  We stopped for lunch before heading towards the dock to see if our friends the Whitlocks were here yet.  On our way we spotted them towing in our other friends' boat that was having some issues.  We decided to  head up the canyon so Andy, Hill and Jabin could see that.  We went all the way to Barry's Landing and stopped for a short break. On our way back we came upon a HUGE river taxi boat that had broken down.  We offered to tow them back in to the dock and everyone but my parents and Jabin and I jumped in Jill and Christian's boat so the boat wouldn't be as heavy.

Got a li'l Cap'n in ya?

Everyone loves fried chicken on the boat :)

First time in Montana

We slowly made our way back to dock and enjoyed the scenery, sunshine, and even took a little nap.  It was so much fun that day.  Boating is seriously my favorite thing to do.  I could go boating everyday.  It is even better when you are surrounded by friends and family.  The four of us headed back to Powell before everyone else because we were planning on going to the Fair that night.  We got home and decided to not hit up the fair but to go eat instead.  We hurried and changed and made it to El Tapatio before they closed.  After dinner is when the "big event" happened.  I already told that story in my last post so I won't retell it.  I will say that it is still my favorite night and memory!! :)

Sunday, we slept in and had yummy breakfast.  We had a big bbq that afternoon with Jill and Christian and my grandparents.  The weather was looking bad and it was looking even worse in Logan, so we decided to leave earlier than we had originally planned.  We left Cody around 3:30.  We had to dodge some storms on the flight, but it was actually very smooth and went by very fast (at least for the passengers, maybe not the pilot).  We landed in Logan just in time because a HUGE storm came through the valley right after.

This weekend was the best weekend ever.  I couldn't imagined it being anymore perfect.  I got to go boating and skiing with my family and friends.  I got engaged to the man I love more than anything and I got to share that exciting time with my family.
