North Carolina

For Christmas my sister, Sharee, got her and my mom tickets to fly to North Carolina to see my Aunt Shelley. Well, Christmas came and I found out that my other sister got a ticket for Christmas . . . so of course I was all not wanting to be left out. Thankfully I have wonderful friends here that helped out with the kids while I was gone! AND . . . they were alive when I got home from being with Cory for a week! We all connected in SLC for our flights and off we went. It was a really relaxing week actually. We did A LOT of reading and a lot of laughing! I hope my mom had a good time as well. We went and visited with our cousins while there and met their families and had a girls day and went to the Biltmore House that was about 3 hours away. It was so great! I remembered so much of it when I was 10 but it had a whole different meaning seeing it as an adult. Loved seeing the original things in the house and hearing of how life was in the early 1900's for the wealthy. We also did a lot of shopping . . . that was fun!! I bought my first Coach first as a major splurge and maxed out my budget right away but had so much fun doing it! I hope in the future we can have more trips like that and spend more time trying to build up our relationships as a family.
