Family Vacation

Okay so it's been a while since I have blogged anything. I've been so wrapped up in other things that I have totally forgotten about blogging. In June our family was able to travel to Arizona to visit family and friends. While there we attended a wedding reception, a baptism (our niece mallory), a missionary fairwell (our nephew Brandon), visited some favorite eating spots, hung out in the pool, and had numerous wonderful visits with old friends. And of course, there was shopping. This vacation was the first time in 15 years the Price family has been all together. We took advantage of that and had an enjoyable 3 hour photgraphy session full of great entertainment. We had a great time trying to make each other smile and laughing at the kids being funny. Although there was a little stress involved with trying to get 31 people to look, smile and be happy all at once, we all made it out alive. We spent lots of time together eating at Kirk and Holly's and many of times in the park. Our experience with being able to attend Brandon's fairwell and his setting apart was spiritual, sad and yet exciting all in one. I never realized how hard it would be to be in attendance while he was being set apart. It was an emotional, happy moment. But in that moment one comes to the realization that in only 5-6 years we will be sending off more missionaries, one being mine. That made the situation even more difficult. It's hard to think about the moments to come when your not ready for the moments past to be done. Everyday I look at my kids and realize how little time I actually have left with them in our home. Makes me cry!

I want my family to know that the time spent with them was a very fun and special time. Hope we can do it again.
