I apologize for not writing for a couple of days. Let me tell you what went on before we made our way home. Matthew and I went to Utah and stayed in Salt Lake City for a couple of days. I must say: it is such a pretty city. Something about it made it seem very fresh and airy. It really is a cool place. We went and visited one of Matthew's good friends there. We played video games and he took us to a place called Ferguson's Canyon ( I think). Let's start with the good news. It was beautiful there. It was a nice hike.
That hike was a little bit of a struggle for me. The whole trip, I didn't have any terrible altitude sickness until then... I was very sad. It was about 5000 feet in the air, and I was so dizzy and off-balance. I eventually started feeling a little better, and we made our way down towards the car. Of course (because I am Hillary), I found it necessary to twist my ankle, fall, and hit my knees against the ground whilst scraping up my shin. To be completely fair though, I fell with swag. Anyhoo, I ignored it and we went on about our day. I got some braces for my ankle and knee and moved on as we went to City Creek, a really cool outdoor mall downtown in Salt Lake City. Matthew was enjoying himself, hanging out with his buddy. It was a good time.
The next day we started our long journey home. We loved going through Utah. It is just so lovely there, especially during the evening.
When we went through Moab, I got hit with nostalgia because I remember going there as a child. It was so much fun when I was a kid. They still had the same waterslide that I went down at a hotel when I stayed there 10 years ago.
Sadly, our adventure has come to an end. We drove 12 hours yesterday to make it home today. Matthew is happier to be home than I am. I am happy that he is happy. He was a trooper. He drove the whole trip. I had so much fun with him, and we made a lot of great memories, but now it is time to get back to our normal lives. We will continue, however, to have little adventures here at home. We always seem to <3 Until then!
