Labor day weekend for us was just a walk through memory lane for us! 2 years ago on Labor Day weekend I drove to Lander on Friday afternoon to see Garrett. He had already started school at Weber State so he drove to Lander and we met there. We had spent the last month speaking on the phone every night for hours and hours. When he asked me to come to Lander I thought he was kidding. I told my parents and I think they figured I wouldn't actually go. So a few days before my mom was still surprised I was still going. When I got closer to Lander I considered turning around but thankfully I didn't. He met me at McDonald's so he could drive me up to the house. When we got out it was like we had known each other forever. He was also as cute as I had remembered.
We went up to his house, met Micah, went on a tour, came home and met Colby and then the 4 of us headed up the mountain to go camping! We had so much fun in the car chatting and telling jokes haha. When we got there I met Debbie and Vince and we sat around the fire! We had a really good time! Some funny things that happened on our first camping trip was:
1. Mack's hair on the steak
2. Vince dropped a stick on my head (it's funny now)
3. Vince almost fell in the fire
This time was really fun though! We went with Vince and Debbie, Grandma and Grandpa Irene, Garrett's cousin and her family, and his Aunt and Uncle! The only problem was the wind, SO WINDY! But we played spike ball, threw the softball around, and played cards! And of course, played with Mack...
Let's just talk about our sleeping situation.. Debbie and Vince both snore. So it was probably the problem. We tried to fall asleep before them and it did not work well. They fall asleep FAST. Garrett and I both struggled to sleep and at one point I was awake and didn't know that Garrett was and he looked at his watch and it was only 2 am and we were wishing it was 5 or 6. Vince got up at 5 to go hunting so we woke up then too, but after that we slept great! So we will blame that on Vince although he blames it on Debbie. We were just glad that it was only one night sleeping.
On Saturday afternoon we went on a atv ride with Debbie, Vince, Teanna, Robert, and Keagan. It ended up a lot longer than we expected but it was still fun! We made quite a few stops and got a little bit of dirt.. everywhere.

*Mack could do this for hours*
*This is the picture log where they used to take pictures growing up*
After we got back, Debbie and Vince were in charge of dinner so we got dinner ready, had a birthday party for Grandma and Grandpa Irene, and then headed back down the mountain! We had a really good time and it was fun to reminisce back to the first time! Garrett wearing the same shirt he did two years ago, joking about sleeping in different beds this time, going on a ride, and just being able to spend some time in the mountains. It brought so many memories!!
*This definitely did not happen last time haha*
*I looked down for 2 seconds and look back up to see this happening...*
We had the best weekend and it always feels good to just be away from everything! Two years ago we came home from camping Saturday evening and got ready quickly and went on our official first date to Tony's Pizza.. so here's a little throwback picture to end the night.
*First picture together*
