I have a horrible memory, I totally should have blogged sooner about the rest of our week with Monika. We mostly just hung out, and watched a lot of movies. Monika said that she would rather just experience our everyday life instead of running different places seeing different things. I never realized how boring our life really is. We are really homebodies.
Thursday we met Kevin and Whitney in Salt Lake at the Gateway, and then we went to Temple Square. It was so much fun. I forgot my camera, but Kevin had his, so I have pictures.

Martin and I showing them how it's done.
I love this picture of these two. They are just so perfect for each other.
After Temple Square, Kevin came back home and spent the night at our house, and we went over Immigration Visa things. It felt nice that I could help him out and give him advice. Friday we went down to Whitney's house/dorm for dinner. She made fantastic chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, and a yummy slushy drink.
Saturday Monika Martin and I went to the Solomon Center in Ogden.
Sunday is when Monika went home. It was really sad to see her go. Martin had a hard time and teared up a bit. He's always seen himself as one who has to take care of his family, so it was hard for him to watch his mom walk away and not be able to help her. It was even sadder to come home to our quiet empty house. I never realised how lonely it really is, and what we are missing. It was so nice to be able to have someone always there to talk to, even though I don't talk very much, it was nice to get advice from her and get to know her better. Abbi missed her as well. Monika took her for a walk every day. Something I've tried to keep up on.
Saturday was Nathan's Baptism. It was wonderful and am very proud of him.

Today I had Allie and Nathan come to my house while Sara went to work. I had lots of fun. We watched a couple movies and went swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic Center. In the car on the way home Nathan was pretty cute. On his baptism day per tradition, my mom gave him a card with two pennies on it. One dirty one from the year Nathan was born, and a clean shiney one from this year, symbolizing baptism and how it washes sins away. So today in the back of my car I had some change sitting there and he found a dirty quarter and a shiney nickel and was saying that he was like the nickle. I always think its so fun to overhear kids talking and hear their take on things.

Sounds like a very fun week. I'm glad it turned out so well. I know you were nervous, but I knew you'd have a great time and I'm sure you were a great hostess. Give Nathan big loves for me. He's such a cute kid. LOVES to you too! :)
