Vernal, Utah

Well folks, 

we made it to our home away from home 

for the summer. 

Blake's internship with Anadarko Petroleum 

has brought us to Vernal, Utah

and the kind people at the company 

felt so bad that he was leaving my behind 

they offered me a position in their Midstream office

for the summer so .......

population 10,000

this is the view all the way around the town

Vernal is 16.5 hours from Lubbock 

so we broke our trip up in Denver. 

And we couldn't stop in Denver without visiting with a few 

of our favorite people!! 

We got there Friday evening

and met up with Ginger and Josh.  

Ginger is Blake's cousin 

and Josh is her boyfriend. 

We had SO much fun visiting and catching up with them. 

Ginger, Blake, me

Saturday found us at Wash Park, 

along with the rest of Denver, 

for games and bbq.

RHETT enjoyed him self 

and we all loved having a break from the car! 

Saturday night we headed to 16th Street Mall 

and Larimer Square to walk around 

and to get Lobster Mac n' Cheese from Capital Grille

(which made Blake so ill he fainted but that's a story for another day!) 

My 2 favorite boys...missing sweet george henry

Saturday night, 

we drove out to Littleton to stay with the Dixon's.  

It was so good to see them and visit

and to meet their sweet Ava.  

When we pass back through in August on our way home

they will have an addition, 

Lucy!!

Brent, Ava, Renee, me and Blake 

From Denver to Vernal, 

we didn't pass much

but after looking at the atlas

I noticed that we were only 40 minutes one way from Aspen. 

I really want to go to Aspen to ski one year 

but wanted to make sure the mountains were good 

and not just a star stalker attraction

since we were so close! 

We really enjoyed the town 

and will definitely plan a ski trip there in the future. 

We arrived in Vernal Sunday around 8pm. 

We spent all day Monday

(Memorial Day)

to get situated, find the office, resting, etc. 

We have both enjoyed our 1st week on the job.  

The people are SO nice and 

we are both learning so much already. 

If anyone is close by come and see us!!!
