Leaving Part 1

So we are already in Norwich as I'm typing this, but I'm going to catch you up on what's happened. Saturday we worked on packing our suitcases while listening to General Conference, and Saturday night we went up to my Sister-in-Law's Family's cabin so we could spend some time as a family before half of us leave. My Older brother and his family aren't moving with us, neither is my older sister (who got engaged on Monday by the way), so we were able to spend some time with them and with my adorable nephews before we go without seeing them for a few months. Then Sunday we had a family party at my mom's parents and were able to say goodbye to cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. and after we went to stay at a hotel (since all of our belongings were already packed up and we didn't want to be more of a burden on my aunt and uncle who have been putting us up for a month or so) and it was one of THE nicest hotels I've ever seen in my life. It was called the Staybridge Suites in Lehi, part of the IHG family, and is for longer term guests? Like you can stay there for weeks/months, and they've got a ton of great ameneties. It was located in Lehi, right across Timpanogos Highway from the Traverse Mountain Outlet Mall, and it's only been open for two months, and we were the first people to stay in the suite we were in since they've been open. Let me show you some pictures.

It had everything your heart could desire, a full complimentary breakfast, a good sized gym, a pool with a hot tub, even an outdoor lounge area complete with barbecue and a laundry room where you can go and do laundry for free. The little suite we were in had a kitchen with a microwave, little stove, full sized fridge, dishwasher and sink, as well as dishes (including pots and pans and microwavable glass containers). Our suite consisted of two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two queens both with their own attached bathrooms. And it had a little sitting area combined with the kitchen area. It was very cute and comfortable. I would highly recommend it. I give it 10/10. 

So that's where we stayed Sunday Night, then Monday we ran around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to get last minute errands ran, picking up last minute prescriptions, etc. as well as helping my older sister's boyfriend propose (he did a little scavenger hunt with clues and different places and so we had to wait around at the various places with the clues for them to get picked up). So we were very busy. And all of this had to be done before 6 because a family friend was throwing a good bye party/open house for friends and neighbors and family to come too to say goodbye. Which they did. So that was fun and sad. Then finish the night with a bang, I went with my older brother and cousin Anna to see the new Pet Semetary, and then I said goodbye to them, and headed back to the hotel for one more night before heading to the airport.
