It was supposed to snow a ton in Wyoming and Utah on friday (Conference is Saturday and Sunday of course), and we wanted to miss as much of the snow as we could, so we decided to leave at midnight friday. Hah, that was nuts! I got a one hour nap before we left (and was the only one who'd gotten any sleep), so I drove first. These are our 'solo' shots of when we first were leaving. Diane's point to the clock which reads 1:08 when we left Johnstown with her. Oh, and this is Bryn's aMAZing van that we took! Oh, so these are Alessandra and Megan, Ryan, Bryn, Diane, 
and me.
Bryn looked a little tired before we left, and Ryan is really excited about his first all-nighter! (Can you believe it was his first?!)Little did we all really know how this would be the longest/shortest 72 hours of our lives! Hah. ;) It was ridiculous, and I loved too many of the pictures to only post a couple...enjoy!
We were all pretty beat and tried to get some sleep by the end of that first night.
Diane, Alessandra, and maybe Megan are the only ones who really got any sleep that ride though.
I attempted to sleep in the back seat during Priesthood Saturday--didn't ever make it asleep...ugh
We met up with Austin, which you can see was quite a bit outta control! Hah!
a nice tea party in the middle of Smith's...
And Alessandra's twin Michella hung out with us Saturday night! (Oh yeah, I went to the Powell's for dinner because their mom made some Peruvian food for us!)
Our base camp, you could say, was Bryn's grandparents, the Petersons in Salt Lake, here we are with his sister Sarai, and hosts after eating Thai food Bryn's dad made for us! Gosh, it was great!
Always had to check the oil! At least Bryn didn't use his sock this time--prolly just because we stopped him. Hah. I joke...mostly...
On the ride home I finally finished Chelsea's hat! Here Alessandra's modelling it, just to clarify, the plan isn't really to wrap the ties around the head like that, cute though it is.
I worked on Kristin's scarf as well, which I finished on the way to 
Nauvoo, hah.Ryan finally got to drive! He drove all the way to Cheyenne (Cheyenne, WY that is) that night, like a champ!
So many ridiculous things happened and were said during these 72 hours (as you may imagine, being in small quarters with virtually the same 6 people, and all quite sleep deprived).
Just a taste: "I just needed something to hug."
"I don't like your pillow, it remembers my fist."
"I keep getting excuses but not answers." "That's life."
"Professional minivan drivers association"
"with my own very eyes"
"CHEYENNE!!!!" (anywhere, UT, CO, WY, whatevs)
"still the same buttocks"
Oh, good times...
