I can be spontaneous...

My phone rang around 11 am the other day. It was Andrew calling me from work. He said "What are you doing... do you wanna go to Utah?" I pretended he was a salesperson and said "no. thank you, sir, not today". I thought we were playing a game....to which he said "....no. for reals. We're going to leave in like, two hours."
So I did laundry. Fast. Packed us up and we hit the road!

We made it to Utah just in time for our newest, smallest and softest little nephew, Jeremy, to be born.
He is perfect.

We had a great time being with family, holding the new baby and playing in the snow.

I don't have any pictures of this trip, seeings how my camera's memory card mysterious erased itself.... aargh.
Yes, the adorable pictures of Ashton with his footprints in his first snow are gone.
Pictures of Ashton on his actual birthday day will never be seen.
The perfect little newborn baby just seconds old have disappeared. forever.
.....(deep sigh) I don't want to talk about it anymore....it hurts.

--but, the images will be forever remembered in my mind...... aww...optimism.
We did have a beautiful time on our spontaneous trip.
and I don't need pictures to know that.
