Hank

So the time has come for our family to get a bigger car. We have certainly enjoyed our new space!! This car is a suburban, which I started to call the 'Burb. Robert has now dubbed it 'Hank'!! He feels like that commercial years ago (I don't even remember what it was promoting) where this guy was walking around with a cheering section behind him who cheered him on through out life. The guy's name was Hank and they chanted his name quietly while he was in a job interview. We loved that commercial and still laugh about it now, so when Robert started to call it 'Hank', I was like sure, why not??

(I asked Brynlee to take these pictures. Sorry they're weird and dark, but it's what I have today!)

We went on a road trip this week. We tested the limits of Hank. And boy it was nice to travel with a little more space. We went to a funeral in Hurricane, Utah. It was so nice down there. I seriously was wishing that I lived there. The weather was perfect. It was balmy, I could seriously consider winter in a place like that! This snow we have is overrated!! It was amazing to see the colors of the mountains. And the views were spectacular. I miss the views like that, living in the city doesn't give you that much of a view. I love to see the mountains but also see the horizon and sky. I think Southern Utah had the best balance of that that I've seen. The mountains aren't to large. St. George is a beautiful city as well. We toured Brigham Young's winter home and the tabernacle. The kids had a great time and so did we. Seeing family was fun and makes me a little homesick!

On the way home, we passed through Provo and had lunch with my brother who lives there. It was a fun visit to see where he lived and chat with him in his own environment. He seems really 'at home' there. Which is a good thing!
