My October trip to Utah

Our October trips to Utah are all very busy. We leave with a dozen or more things we need to do and come home realizing we only scratched the surface but try to do our best. From October 2 to October 14 this is what happened. We get to Utah one day later because the flight got stranded in Austin bound to Dallas. The pilot simply said: "we can't land in Dallas because of bad weather and don't have enough fuel to take us to Houston so we are going to land in Austin" ...and there we were sitting on that plane from 1:00 pm to midnight when the plane finally landed in Dallas. But does is not all, there was not a gate available when we arrived either so we sat on the plane another hour.
Daniel was smart enough to call the airline and arrange are re-booking over the phone rather than to wait in line for another four hours. The good thing is that we at least got to see Vale in Dallas. She showed us the  Hospital where the fellow was who contracted Ebola was hospitalized a few blocks from her home.
Next day we get to Salt Lake, checked in our Hotel, got the car and met up with Cristi and the boys to go to the museum but it was closed for renovation so we just went out to eat and met with Mandy, Spencer and Hilda. The next day was General Conference. In the evening at the Priesthood meeting we saw Mari, Manu, Bianca, Mandy, Cristi and the kids, Margie, Ana and her boys, Kimmy and Hilda. It was great to see all the cousins. We headed to the Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point. That was soooo fun for the kiddos.
 Next morning it was General Conference again and we went to a nice luncheon in between sessions and later on we said good bye to Mari, Manu, Bianca, Cristi, Brooks, Nixon and Beckett. The visit as always was too short but worth it!
The next day I went to get my hair cut at sister's Mahom's salon in Hunstville and started the Meeting with the DTA wives during the day and a marathon of things I needed to do as time permitted: Doctors appointments, pick up prescriptions, buy needed things and gifts, paying bills, going to the baby shower,  looking at all four properties, visiting family and friends and the dreaded Deposition. By the time we got home last night from this trip we were exhausted! I have come to the conclusion that all our trips to Utah although necessary are tense and full of stress not your typical vacation.
