Laser tag, Deal or No Deal, enough food to feed 100 people for an entire week...must be the Petersen Family Reunion! This past weekend we had a little family reunion. Typically, we either head to Bear Lake or the ranch for our family reunions, but with two very pregnant sisters in law about to pop any second, we thought we'd play it safe and keep it close to home this year. 

All my siblings came to town and we all stayed in my mom's house. Haha, it was a mad house having 11 kids seven years old and under running around everywhere in one house for 4 days! As far as family reunions go, we didn't actually have much going on that often. It was relaxed, but we were all able to enjoy each others' company, while sneaking in a few very fun activities. The girls got our nails done, the guys saw a poorly-made movie, and the Petersens had their first biscuits and gravy breakfast, courtesy of Jake. ;)

 It was fun having everyone together again for something happier than a funeral! My dad's absence was pretty strong this weekend, and I'm just so happy to know that families are forever. 

The one with all the cabins.

The last two weekends have both been spent away. 

Last weekend it was up in Oakley with Matthew's entire family for the Anderson side reunion. 

We shot shot guns, made s'morittos, went biking and kayaking, and played way too much nuts.

 

Friday I went to the RASCAL FLATTS concert!!

It was spectacular, to say the least.

I love hearing my favorite songs live!

At 2:00 in the morning, I picked up Matt from his house and we drove down to Panguitch.

Don't worry, we got there at 5:30 in the morning.

We spent the rest of the weekend with Julie and her family, Adam and 

she who must not be named. yet.

Not because she is anything comparable with Voldemort.

Adam just says I'm not allowed to disclose information about her yet.

Borrrrring.

She's actually super cute.

Do I dare say she's the one?

We went four-wheeling, horseback riding, and fishing!

I caught my first fish ever, guys.

I was freaking out.

I always miss Julie and her perfectly adorable family.

They are 4 of my 6 very best best friends.

Heavenly Father has blessed me with the most beautiful people and opportunities. And for that, I am grateful.

The one about family.

Do you know what's cool?

"what?"

I have two families. 

basically.

and sometime soon, 

I will try to find the time to tell you all about 

the family reunion with the second family.

a.k.a: Matthew's family.

I'm one incredibly lucky girl.
