Addison asleep after her blessing.
From left to right: dad, mom, Rick (brother-in-law) holding little Addison, Mcayden (2.25 years), Janice, Debbie (me) and Cindy behind Janice.
Addison loves her blessing dress her grandma Bohn made.Janice had called me the weekend of the 4th and asked if I could possibly fly to Utah for Addison's blessing. They were flying in from Seattle and would like to have me there. Well I thought it was pointless because I don't have many days of leave and I wouldn't get to hang out with her much. I left her a voicemail telling her as much. She called back and said she understood, but would love to have me there if I could possibly make it. I could tell she really wanted me there so I called Mike and got myself put on standby.
I was very blessed and was able to make all of my flights to Utah. I overheard that the plane was completely booked so I was VERY grateful that I made it on! My mom was SO excited for JL to see me because I had not told her I was coming. I wasn't sure if I would make it and if I could I wanted to surprise her. My mom and Cindy plotted to get Janice up to the house without her knowing I was there. Cindy and my mom made a divine brunch (yummmmyyyy) and when Janice and Rick arrived I opened the door to let them in. Janice was shocked! It was well worth getting to see her reaction!
So what did we do you might ask. We went shopping of course. :) Janice needed some good old fashioned shopping for therapy. Of course I think I bought the most. (I looked at my visa bill and almost screamed out loud.:)) It was just Janice, mom, and I. I was so glad to spend time with both of them.
On Sunday I got to hold Addison a lot which made me very happy! She would just go to sleep. I love little snuggly babies. I flew out Sunday night...well I was supposed to, but the plane didn't leave until about 2:00 am. I ended up missing the 7:00 am to DC and the 9:00 was full and I just made it on the 11:00. I was so grateful I was able to get on! I was just so exhausted after not sleeping for a day. I was a walking disaster all week at work because my body was very aware that I had missed a whole night of sleep. I just kind of took the weekend off from life and I'm doing much better now! It was still worth going!
