New Mexico Trip

It all started May 16th

As Jason was getting the van and getting everything all set while I was at work, working.

After work-went to my place, packed everything of mine that I'm bringing into Jason's bag. Packed everything of ours in the bag. Of course I was the one who brought the most. Then around 7pm we picked up Jason's brother, Scott and his wife, Nicole along with their son, Jaxon (almost 1) Then off to pick up Jason's other brother, Brent and his wife, Ashley and their 2 sons, Caden and Jared (almost 1) We are then on the road.

About 11pm we arrived to Ogden, Utah to pick up Jason's sister, Natalie and her husband, Kyle and their kids, Haylie, Catherine and baby Christen (3 to 4 months) 

May 17th

Jason drove the whole night till about Moab, Utah which we arrived there at about 4am. Went to go see the arches, since we got there before they even opened we got in for free!! Another bonus, was that we got to see the sunrise <3

Hiking up to the top and edge

 

The sunrise. Beautiful!!

I love him so much!! <3

It could have been worse

Then again onto the road again, Jason and Brent both took turns on driving. Yeah I know that Jason couldn't do it himself. Meaning that I'll have to drive too on our way to California for our wedding and on way back home. I am NOT looking forward to that.

 It sure was a long ride

Another stop that we took was the four corners (Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico) YEEAAHH! Did NOT like the bathrooms there though, since there isn't any water out there, in the middle of nowhere, except this exhibit (which we had to pay) Looking at the toilets, well there was a big dark deep hole. I've always been scared of it, still am. just did not like it!!

 He just couldn't decide

That's right, I was in 4 states at once. We even brought our GPS and it says it's correct

 Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico!!

We arrived to the Klingler's in Carlsbad, New Mexico at about 1am!! Oh boy, we were all so tired, including Jason. We were all hungry and just so wanting to get out of that van!! Thank you to mom and dad Klingler for having dinner ready for us when we got there. Thank goodness <3 Jason as soon as he got there, ate a few slices of pizza that was there and went straight to bed, or where he was sleeping was on a couch. I slept in the laundry room with an air mattress.

May 18th

We all woke up later in the morning. Jason's brother, Kyle-the man reason we drove all the way down there, is cause of his graduation. Well he was hoping that he will be getting a white robe for the graduation. Meaning students who got a 4.0 or higher. While a lot of us were in the van to go to the Carlsbad Caverns we heard the news that he's wearing the white robe, YEEEAAHH!! Carlsbad Caverns, pretty fun, but TONS of walking. That wasn't fun. Well as I was there, I saw a few things that I saw from the previous year from looking at Jason's facebook pictures, just after his mission, after the family cruise in December 2010. Near the end of that cave, I started feeling sick. I was not happy, but I stuck through it.

Well later, we got home and got ready for Kyle's graduation that evening. Great, great evening. Didn't get to see Kyle afterwards, along with the youngest brother, Todd. (Yes there's 6 children, mostly boys, big family of boys)

Brent/Ashley of family to the left, Kyle & baby Christen on right. We were all very tired!!

Side Note:

So Natalie's first child is a girl, another girl, then finally a boy.

Brent-2 boys.

Scott-1 boy.

Jason-We shall see, but he wants a boy first. To keep up the tradition. Along with their middle names. Which once we will have our first son, I will explain more about that.

Back on topic; Kyle and Todd went to Kyle's graduation party. Lasted about 5am, yes they were very sleepy the next morning, which they sure did sleep in. Kyle won a lot of money at that party. Rolling in dough! That evening, I ended up talking with mom Klingler and Natalie about the wedding planning. Till about 3am!! I had Jason sleep in the laundry room where I slept the night before. He needed it more than I do. Plus it's one of the quietest places. So that he doesn't have to be interrupted by kids screaming and running around, possibly even jumping on him.

May 18th

PARTY DAY!! So we all had a task to do. We all had a talent and we did it. Mom barely even have to tell us what to do, we just did it. Those are the Klingler's for you. Love this family!! I love Jason, PERIOD!! Sure know where Jason got his personality from-His mother, if you guys know Jason and how he talks so much, well his mom does a lot more. Which honestly, I love. Me, myself-I don't talk much and I listen better than talking. And his looks-His father.

May 21st

On our way back to Idaho Falls, we switched seats a bit. To get more comfortable. Well there was Jason driving in the beginning and grandma up in front. I was in a row of seats with both Hailey and Catherine. All cuddled up with them. Catherine ended up going back with her parents and Hailey was all worn out and was still sleeping with me. Well I loved it!! Stopped at a few places. One of our stops we found this little/big guy. As Brent was driving he heard a big bang on the windshield. Well it's a moth/bird thing. A big moth!!

Well we finally made it to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Settled at midnight
