Trip to Auburn - Sunday

I got up this morning and showered.  Soon after I got out, the power went out.  It had gone out during the night, but then had turned back on in the early morning.  

I didn't mind too much about the power, except for my hair was wet and I couldn't blow dry it.  That bummed me out.  It always looks better when I dry blow dry it.  

Tony was able to shower, and we had the kids all get dressed for church.  We then made sure everything was picked up and cleaned at Wendy's house.  Then we packed up all our stuff and got it in the car.  After feeding the doggies, we said our goodbyes to them and then drove over to my parents' house to warm up our breakfast.  After eating, we drove to the church.

We sat behind Julie and enjoyed sacrament.  Boyd spoke before Averee, and he did a good job.  We then sang a song before it was Averee's turn.  She talked about everyday miracles.  I thought that she was very well spoken and did a great job.

Afte church we went back to Julie's house and helped her get ready for the lunch.  Once everything was ready, we prayed and ate the yummy food.  We snapped a couple pictures with Averee before saying our goodbyes and getting in the car.  We had a nine-hour drive ahead of us, so we needed to get to it.

The drive was a good one.  We started getting rain around Battle Mountain and it continued off and on until about Wendover.  At one point we were driving through a very low cloud when we came to the top of a little mountain pass.  It was pretty cool, and a little scary with how hard it was to see.

We got gas in Battle Mountain, dinner in Elko, and then was home a little after 9:00 pm.  It really wasn't too bad of drive, and we were all glad that we went to support Averee and spend time with family.
