ARIZONA!!

 In January we got out of the Winter-time blues and went somewhere warm!  Arizona!  I have never been there before and I loved it!  Justin's baby brother Dave got married and so the fam made the trek to see the big day!  We

 We flew out of the little airport in Ogden. I'm serious when I say little... this room is the entire airport!!  It was very small but cute and quaint. 

 Walking up the ramp to get on the plane

 Justin chose our seats and picked the Emergency exit isle for one reason... leg room!!  He is usually crammed on flights, not this time! It was however FREEZING sitting by the door!  But the cute gentleman next to me switched me seats mid flight.  ;)

 SO beautiful!

 I thought our hotel room was so very cute.

 My two sissys Laurie and Kristen.  We had lots of good girl talk in the back of our sweet mini van we all rented!  Love them!!!

 The boys in the front.  Brett (right side, behind Justin) was not originally planning on coming.  He decided at midnight the night before the wedding that he really ought to be there and drove to SLC airport from Idaho, hopped a plane and made it in time for the wedding.  It was so sweet!  We are sure glad he came.  Ryan (driver) was the driver and Justin was the navigator. 

 We went out back and snuck a pic of the bride before the ceremony.  Isn't her dress SO dang cute?!  She is equally as cute!  I am SO thankful and excited to have such a fun, sweet, darling new sister-in law.  She was so concerned about us out-of-towners when she had enough on her plate with the wedding.  This was our first time meeting and we adore Mandi already!

 Kristen walked Dave down the isle since his mom wasn't there...

 Eric and Laurie

 Dave and Mandi- the cute new couple!! We are so happy for them!  So happy Dave is happy and found such a wonderful girl!

 Then it was a yummy lunch and good chit chatting.

 Justin's father Bill's identical twin brother came out  for the wedding.  He is as close to "dad" as they have now and we sure love uncle Bob!

 The whole gang that came!  Only 2 out of the 8 kids didn't make it.  We are all so happy for Mr. & Mrs. Lund  :)

 The boys...

 The sisters...

 Us with the newlyweds

 Ryan and Kristen...

 Eric and Laurie...

 We were trying to get a picture of us 3 amigos and were having a heck of a time.  We took a million!  We were laughing so hard (I will not tell you what Kristen was whispering in my ear:)) or someone didn't approve of how it turned out.  It was so funny!  Little moments like this make me so thankful I married into such wonderful sisters. These 2 have really taken me in and made me feel apart of the fam.  I love them so much!!!

 The final product!

 The 3 babies of the family.  Kristen, Dave, and Justin spent most of their childhood hanging out with each other.  They are very close.

 Me and my darling niece Kadyn in front of a cactus.  For some reason it is strange to me that these are just chillin in the garden!

 Justin and his best friend Adam. He also recently moved to AZ.  It was so fun to see him!  I miss that guy!! 

 The cute restaurant where the wedding/lunch took place.

 Afterwards we got to go over to Dave and Mandi's new house to see it. (I told you they were nice in hosting us!  The should have been starting their honeymoon!:)) Dave made the pretty rock entertainment center behind us. 

 That night we went out to dinner and to a darling outdoor mall.  We had so much fun with each other!

 The next day the honeymooners took us to their fav resaurant for lunch so we could spend a little more time with them before leaving.

 Then we did a little shopping!  Girl time was fun!

 The gang in front of the mini van ;)

 Laurie and I really fit in with the decor at Sephora!

 Our crew at breakfast the morning we had to leave.  The trip went by way too fast!  We haven't really done a family trip on the Lund side since we have been married... so this was a much needed getaway!  We really did have SO much fun!  I grew to love Justin's family even more than I already did!  I really do feel blessed to have such wonderful in-laws and to have welcomed Mandi into the big bunch too!  We had so much fun with these couples!!  Love them all so much!

 Saying goodbye to the pretty palm trees!  We went from 80 degrees in AZ back to like 8 degrees in Utah.  BRRR!  It was fun in the sun for a few days and hopefully we can go back again sometime!

Boarding the back of the plane!  How fun is that!? 

Thanks again to everyone for making such a fun mini vacation.  We had a blast and hope to do it again soon!!  Love all you Lunds :) (and Hacketts!)
