So, last Saturday Rich's dad, Richard, was still in town. Saturday we went to the Aerospace Museum at Balboa Park. That place is pretty cool. The afternoon we spent at home and Richard went and did a little shopping on his own. Then in the evening we hopped on the Trolley and went to the Padres vs. Pirates game. Padres got their butts whooped. It was fun anyway. We left in the top of the 8th inning, that's how bad they sucked. Olivia fell asleep, in my arms. She slept until we got onto the Trolley and there was a loud bang that woke her up. Sunday, Richard and I went to Sacrament meeting, and then did some shopping. I can't remember what else we did. It was a good day anyway.
Monday, the 27th, me and Richard flew to Utah together. It was a big help to have him help with everything since Olivia went too. She did really good, went to sleep not long after I buckled her car seat in, and didn't wake up until we started the descent. I rented a car. I had actually reserved a compact but they didn't have anymore so I got a mini-van at no extra cost. It was a little difficult to drive at first since I'm not used to such a large vehicle, but I got used to it. Drove Richard home, then went to my parents' house to see the fam. While we were there, my brother Steve started to cry because his son Jack has CP, and to see how well Livvy can do things that Jack can't is hard on him. I love Jack, and it is hard to see the developmental differences. Then we went to Rich's mom's house and stayed the night. Tuesday we went to a few of the libraries to see people. Didn't have time to go to every one of them. Then we went and got to meet Sydney and her family. We had a lot of fun. Livvy enjoyed playing with Holden. We even went to the mall and she had her first taste of ice cream, and some Gerber baby snacks.
We spent the night at Judy's again. Then on Wednesday, we went and got Jeanette. Me and Jeanette got haircuts. Then we went to lunch at Olive Garden. After lunch we went to her house and just talked, and Bethany came over. Livvy took a nap on the to and at OG. Then again at the house. That evening I went to dinner with mom, and Livvy took another nap. I stayed the night at my parents' house, and Livvy got to bed at her usual time. Thursday my cousin Brianna got married, which was the main reason we were in Utah. We went to the Temple for pictures, then went and visiting Rich's grandma and grandpa Dyreng for a few minutes. Then to the wedding Luncheon, Livvy fell asleep on the way there, and for some of the meal. Then we went back to Dyreng's and visited some more, and Livvy played and took another nap. Afterwards we went to the reception at La Caille. Fancy place. Livvy didn't sleep well that night. Sometime that day we both had colds that kicked in. I think the dry Utah weather dries us out so much that we get sick now. It happened back at Thanksgiving too. Friday we flew home to San Diego, and this time I had to do it all myself. It was difficult, but we managed. She again went to sleep not long after buckling her in. And she woke up just before we started the descent. I won't get my hopes up that she'll travel so well every time, but at least it was good this time. Today we are having a veg at home day while Rich is on duty. He picked up someone's duty for tomorrow too, because the guy is going to give him money to do it. The guy that I vented about in my last post has finally decided to start paying us back the money he owes. It'll be a little bit each check for the next 3 or so. We'd rather have it all at once, but better that we're getting it at all.
