Georgia!!! Such an amazing and fun finale with my sister before her mission! It was jammed pack all weekend long! I arrived Thursday night, after my flight was cancelled in SLC... so annoying. Friday we woke up and went Golfing!
We golfed over lunch time and got a little hungry. The only snack we had were these little energy candies we found in my moms purse. Little did we know after sucking on them and biting them they burst into foam!! It was so weird, but provided a good laugh. :)
After golfing we went swimmin to cool off. I can't even describe how sweaty we were... That night we went to the one and only:
Then saw the movie Madagascar 3 and got some cold stone. :) SATURDAY morning we woke up at 6:15 to go watch the sunrise at this beautiful lake/river not even 10 minutes from our house. I had no idea it was so close and it was SO beautiful!
They had swings lined up facing the water, so gorgeous.
Then we went on our last trail run together and drank chocolate milk before heading to the trampoline place. Here is a video of Connor, he did the best at dunking. :)
We got firehouse subs for dinner and some GiGi's cupcakes for dessert! :) Which we ate while watching the Track and Feild preliminary's for the Olympics! CAN"T WAIT!!
Look at those giant leaves!! Georgia is so green, I loved it!! Anything here in Idaho looks SO dull compared to the green in georgia. Everything is greener x10 there!
Sunday we went to church where Tori gave a little talk, then we came home and made a fire to eat Smore's! Yes in the blazing heat, but Tori wanted it so we did it! :)Dad made us do it on the driveway because he didn't want any of the trees in the back to catch on fire.
Later that night we ate Ben and Jerry's and watched a chick flick. Another thing on Tori's bucket list before she left.
Monday morning we woke up early again to ride the Silver Comet Trail! It's a paved trail that starts in Georgia and goes all the way to Alabama!
We only rode 8 miles out to this bridge! SO PRETTY!! Then raced 8 miles back so we could play with Connor before he left for work. We averaged 13 mph and we were so tired!!!Alas, we made it back in time and played some Tennis!
Went swimming (her last time!! ahh!!)
Dad's prefect handstandSister jump!
That night we went out to the cheesecake factory, we got these delicious avocado egg rolls! If your going there, get these, they were phenomenal!
Tori and I shared this delicious lemon chicken mealand of course Cheesecake!! :)
Yay for sisters!!! Before dinner she was set apart as a missionary, so I got to be her companion until she left!
At the airport Tori's checked bag weighed too much so we had some last minute re-packing to do!
Finally we arrived at her gate and her plane was boarding, luckily she wasn't boarding until the last zone so we got to sit together a little bit longer. So while we're sitting there all three of us crying (Tori, my mom, and I) some guy walks over and sits down next to me. I had my arms holding my knees so my wedding ring was showing btw. So we're sitting there, no make up on, crying... and this guy pats me on the back and says "I just wanted to let you know that your really beautiful and I hope you cheer up. Have a good day." He then get's up and walks away... we all just looked at each other so confused. I think I need a bigger ring ;) haha, we then just start laughing. We decided he was put up to do it, a dare to talk to the most desperate hopeless looking person in the area. I won. haha. It cheered up my day and gave me something to laugh about instead of cry about though. Now she's in the MTC and I'm averaging 2 letters on Dear Elder a day. :) Hope she doens't mind a play by play of my day! It's been hard not being able to text her, call her, or send her my random pictures! She's always been my go-to for EVERYTHING!! I miss you Topi!! Can't wait for next Christmas!! Only 18 months to go! WOO!!
WOW, that post makes me want to exercise, eat really good food and go on a mission! What a wonderful send off to her mission! I am so happy and excited for her! I'd love to send her some letters or Dear Elders or something. Do you just look up her name on Dear Elders?
