Trip to Utah





































We did a fast trip to Utah to see the Wedding of Kendall and Sarah Chapman. We got to spend Christmas with Adrain and Brittany and the Deardens. Art finished his Exams on Tuesday about 3 PM and we headed out of UW-Stout for the West. It took us 3 hours to go 100 miles. Every body around ST. Paul was slowed down to a crawl since the weather was so bad. Many cars and trucks were in the ditch. Finally 1/2 way trough Iowa the roads cleared up and it was clear the rest of the days. We left Utah on Sunday to beat the next Snowstorm through. We had fun though. Thursday Jim Richards came up to see his old mission companion (Art) and we took a trip to Preston and Lewiston, UT to see our old residences. Friday was the wedding and we saw lots of old friends. Friday night we had a wonderful Turkey Dinner at Adrian and Brittanys and celebrated an early Christmas, opening presents and all with Sarah, Richard and kids. Saturday morn we saw Adrian coach his Spanish Fork Jr. High students at a wrestling meet. In the afternoon we saw the beautiful, big addition of the Dearden house. It was great. Saturday night we enjoyed the reception and Sunday morning we left to beat the storm. It was good to be with friends and family, but there is "no place like home."
