Thursday we had the longest day of traveling ever lol. But we had some fun experiences in the Denver airport lol. We called it our zoo experience. We were sitting on the chairs by the window watching all of the planes and the workers. Well out of the corner of my eye I thought that I saw a bird. I told Cameron and he thought I was nuts lol. Well a few minutes later he saw them too. So we laughed about that. Well a bit later we were sitting there bored, I had my head back looking at the ceiling and I noticed that one of the birds was right over us butt first. I told Cameron that we were going to get pooped on lol. Finally it moved-and thankfully no poop. Then a half hour later we were still watching the runway and I saw rabbit. I told Cameron and again he thought I was crazy. I was like no really I promise there was a big rabbit on the runway and it was just hopping along. Well he thought me saying that was the funniest thing ever and kept making fun of me for it. Lol anyway, he finally saw it and then saw another one…there was two of them and they were big lol. Then some people got off a plane at a gate near ours and had a bunch of barking dogs lol. So we called it our zoo experience lol. Oh the things that entertains us during a 3 hour layover. Finally we made it to Ohio around midnight and still had to drive 40 minutes to get to the house. Needless to say it was a really long day.
Friday we had to be up at 6am or 4 Utah time to drive to Kirtland to see the church sites. We drove for 4 hours and got to tour all of the sites. It was really interesting and fun to see the temple and all of the church history sites. Then after the tours we went to Olive Garden for dinner! It was sooo good. I love that place. Then we drove home for another 4 hours. Then we watched part of a movie and I fell asleep on the couch.
Saturday we got to sleep in and then we hung around the house for a bit. Cameron showed me around his parent’s property. It was sooo pretty!! He has a lake right behind the house. They own about 3 acres of land. It was so pretty there. The house was really big too. Sorry I never got pictures. But anyway it has 3 floors above ground then a full basement. It was big. But I loved it. I also loved that they made me stay on the third floor and then Cameron in the basement lol. It made me laugh. Lol. Anyway, then Cameron and I drove around Sidney and he showed me all the places in the town and his schools and the houses that he has lived in and some of the other sites to see. Then Cameron made me lunch when we got back to the house. He made me one of his famous “Cam Sam’s” it was really good! I had not had one of those for about 3 years. While I ate, Cameron’s friend Joe came over for a bit so I looked at scrapbooks with his mom while they chatted. Then we had dinner as a family. Cameron had been talking about Cincinnati Chili for months now. He told me what it was made with and how he eats it. Cameron eats it so uniquely. He puts two hotdogs in the bun on the bottom and then spaghetti noodles then the chili then cheese then mustard then oyster crackers. It was quite the dish. I didn’t eat mine quite like that but I did have the noodles then the chili and crackers and cheese. It was a very unique dish, but I can see why Cameron loves it. Even better is that is made with chocolate as the secret ingredient. After dinner me his mom and all of his sisters went to the mall and shopped. It was fun to get to know them and just have girl time. I think it was good for Cameron to have some guy time with his dad too. Then at midnight we went to waffle house and ate with one of his friends. It was an interesting place but the food was halfway decent. Lol But the drunk people were really interesting lol. Cameron said I got the full effect that way lol.
Sunday we had a big breakfast as a family. Then we all hung around the house before church. Church is a half hour drive so that was definitely different lol. I am so used to church being within walking distance. The ward was small but nice. I felt like we were on display cuz I think everyone in the ward came up to talk to us and meet me. It was fun though. And then his grandparents came to church with us too so I got to meet them. Then after church we came home and had a big dinner with his grandparents for mother’s day. It was really funny cuz Cameron told me that his grandpa really loves Oatmeal Crème Pies. So Cameron bought me a box to give to him on Sunday. So when we were sitting there his grandpa goes I need to get to know you better to see if you can really join the family. So Cameron hit my leg and said to give them to him now. So I got up and gave it to him and he got so excited and said “no questions needed, you are in and I like you lol.” It was awesome lol. Then we opened presents and then played a game. Then we watched a movie after they left and picked out which pictures to put in the wedding video and got them all organized to take with us. Then we checked ourselves in for our flight and went to bed.
Then Monday we were up at 4 am Ohio time…2 Utah time lol to be to the airport. His parents accidentally slept in and we were really late getting to the airport and then the security line was like a mile long and wound all the way down the terminal. It was bad. By the time we got to the gate they were halfway done boarding. Cameron and I hardly said anything to each other all morning and during our first flight cuz we were both so tired and ornery that we would have bit each other’s head off for no reason lol. So it was not until Denver that we really talked. Then we were late getting in the airport there and only had 20 minutes to get to our gate before it started boarding. By the time we finally got to Salt Lake, we were both so tired. We went for breakfast since we both had not eaten anything all day. The trip was really great though! I am so glad that I got to meet his family. I loved them!! I can’t wait to see them again in August!
