Home!!

We are home!!  It only took 11 days to get here, but we're here.  We had to make a pit stop in Salt Lake City for a couple days to attend my dad's wedding.  I suppose everything in the universe must balance out eventually, so our relatively snag free trip seems to have been made up for in their wedding plans.  When we arrived in Salt Lake City on Tuesday we expected to attend their wedding on Saturday.  They had made arrangements to have the ceremony at a friend's house and had every detail figured out and in the works except one . . . a preacher.  Wendy spent most of the next two days calling trying to find someone who could officiate the ceremony, but none were able to.  Thursday she called the courthouse to see about getting married by a justice of the peace, but all of their appointments were booked already.  Fortunately, the nice lady on the phone did say they could do a walk in ceremony that would be held in the hallway outside the office that issues the marriage licenses (which, interestingly, also happens to be across the hall from the bathrooms) so Friday Mike and I went to be witnesses to their marriage.  They still had the party on Saturday and did a little commitment ceremony so the rest of the family could witness their union so, despite the stress, all ended well.

We packed some of Wendy's things in our trailer and were on the road for home Sunday morning.  This time we had three drivers to share the load which proved very helpful  given it's a very long trip to make in two days.  I would say all went well, but no one thought to mention that this road had it's own cliffs of death that I, of course, was so lucky to be driving through.  Okay, so they had guard rails, but how much security can those things really offer?  I want five foot concrete walls.

Despite the death traps along the way, we were able to arrive safely and will be posting pictures very soon.
