You Go Here, I'll go there, and we'll meet back in Utah

Well everyone, Chase and I experienced our first time apart! Chase got to go on an all exclusive fishing trip with his brothers and I went to Tennessee to see Mom, Wendy, and Jessica.  Chase took me to the airport and as we got closer  I started realizing that he wasn't going to get on that plane with me; suddenly I couldn't breath.  I gave Chase a hug and a kiss and quickly went into the airport before I could realize he was gone. Then kicked in the tears. I called him and just started crying and asking if he was going to come home after the trip haha Once I got to Tennessee I had the most lovely chauffeurs waiting for my arrival (Wendy and Jessica). I must say that I love being with these three ladies (Mom, Wendy, and Jessica) they are the kindest, sweetest, best dang mommies you will ever meet.  I went swimming with Jessica, walking with Wendy, and spent some good time with Mom.  A big event happened while I was there, sad but big, poor Ivy got really sick and had to go to the ER! Soon Wendy found out that she had hand foot and mouth disease and informed her that is was very contagious.  Ivy came home and ate frozen treats  like nobodies business, but next thing you know Kate joined the medicated list, then baby James, then me, then Wendy.  The most impressive thing is that Wendy had it together the whole time, I commend you Wendy.

Then of course I got to spend time with the other Cuthbertsons.  Jessica lives out in the middle of no where, but I actually really liked it.  You pass some beautiful scenery and get to enjoy the car ride with some absolutely beautiful children.  Luckily, Jessica's cute kids didn't get sick so we went out to eat and took a nice long walk over the bridge by the condo (super descriptive I know, I don't know what it is actually called haha) with mom.  But don't for one second think we didn't have an exciting moment... We saw the biggest, hugest, biggest bee hive ever haha  The kids were playing near it and Jessica noticed it, it had 100's of bees on it!! So yes Jessica is the hero of that story :) I saw the fun new houses Mom and Jessica are building (yes they are building them with their own bare hands) I even helped Jessica make a few MAJOR decisions (not really). Jessica was kind enough to take me up to Grandmother and Leroy's and I must say I love them and I love it up there. Grandmother gave us the nicest quilt and it is laying on our bed as we speak! I just want to thank you all for being so kind and loving me like your own family.  Whenever I told someone I was going back to visit my husbands family, everyone always said "Wow, usually you go to your own family" but I feel so welcomed and loved in your family! I can't wait to live by you someday and maybe be neighbors ;) My trip ended to quickly but I was excited to come back home.

Chase had a wonderful time on his trip and I would like to thank you men for keeping him safe and sound.  We recently started school this week and are back to our busy lives. Jessica kept saying "Oh Gabi you are newly married" haha What can I say, I love Chase more than anything in the world and I truly know he is my eternal companion. I appreciate his strength and love for me. He is the best man/husband in the world and he is all mine :)
