Emery County

#
Every 24th of July Trevors family goes down to Monroe, and Marysvale(small towns where they're from) and watch the parade and go to the fair, then we finish by being with the Blackwells in Marysvale. This is only my second year going with them and I just love it.

The drive there might not be the prettiest thing..but the towns themselves are gorgeous. Trevor and I had a blast spending time in Ferron with his dad and his friends who live in Ferron. We went to the tinniest little rodeo you've ever been to in Emery, where I saw the cutest little boy cowboys in the world and I made sure to let Trev know I needed one of "those". Ha ha. They even talk like cowboys at age 6.

This is just me with Reds' darling niece who said, "Do you think these pigs have ever seen a real princess before?" (talking about herself) when Red took her to see the Worwoods show pigs.


Oh and on our drive into town we passed this HUGE fire. I promise it was.

We went to the parade which was probably 3 hours long. Then ate some yummy burgers and fries from a little burger joint and just hung out at the fair with Trevors family. SO fun!
Then when we went to his aunt and uncles in Marysvale and went to watch the fish rodeo (this is the best). It's where little kids line up against the walls of the dance hall and wait for this truck to dump out tons of fish..then they run and splash around trying to catch the fish bare handed! It's so hilarious. I keep telling my sister she's gotta bring my nephews down next year. Ps. Marysvale population is about 300 people. Just outside of Richfield. Once you see Marysvale, you see the end of it. I just love it!

I love being all around in these small towns where my husby grew up. It's so fun to see where and how he grew up. I've always thought people from small towns were the best since I came up to college and met tons of them..and they all seemed to be a little nicer, a little friendlier, and all the boys I went on dates with from small towns had better manners! Well I'm here to tell you it's true. And I am married to one :) Everyone I met was so nice, so welcoming and open! It makes me open to the thought of living in a small town :).

Does Emery County look like Mars to anyone else? Ha ha.

Nothin like a little TLC

Today the Trevsies and I went to one of my families best friends wedding. Tom Brewer. He's more like a brother to me than a friend. This boy has known me since I was 3. He's seen my in diapers, soccer uniforms, prom dresses and my wedding dress. He used to put snakes on me, run away from me, and help me with my homework. I think i've been in as many fights with him as I have my own brother. Telling me my shorts are too short, my swimming suit is too little, not to date this d bag or that. Naming my car the bunk mobile. Ha ha. He's the best. So are all my other friends! I can't remember when the last time I went home and got to see ALL of the people I love? Do you? And when you were reminded of how much they love you back? Gosh it felt good. Seriously, I feel like I just saw family I hadn't seen in forever, because really, some of them are. I didn't stop talking for two hours straight, and they all got to meet my wonderful, witty, handsome husby. I loved that part the best :).


Anyways, Trevlynn and I are heading to St. George for the weekend with my family, and kinda his, and I kinda CAN'T wait. :) It's a very needed trip. Neilsons Frozen Custard, I'll be seeing you soon.
