Quick Trip to Oregon!

Last weekend Cody and I made the fastest trip to Oregon that I have ever done. We left Friday Morning at 6:30am and drove all day we only stopped once to fill up the car and go to the bathroom and for a quick stretch before we headed back on the road. We made great time we arrived in Portland at 5:00pm Oregon time it was great. I drove the whole way I was pretty impressed with myself! My sister Angie packed the car up with her kids and made the 4 1/2 hour drive to come see us and then my sister Serena came over and hung out the whole time we were home. We were only home for Friday night, Saturday, and then drove home on Sunday. We took this picture right before we headed back in the car to head back to Utah.

Here is my dad and me before leaving. It was a quick trip but I'm glad we did it and thanks to Cody for putting up with his crazy wife who wants to drive home and be in the car longer than we were actually there for. It may have been short but it was a lot of fun! Thanks mom and dad for letting us come home and Thanks Angie for bringing you and all your kids up to see us for a day it was fun! Our trip back on Sunday wasn't as quick as our trip on Friday but we left later in the day which meant we had to drive during the night. I drove until it got dark and then I switched Cody and as soon as I hit the passenger side I was out! So poor Cody had to drive all by him self and keep himself up the whole time. So we pulled over and took a long nap at a rest stop and then continued on Monday morning and finally made it home at 10:30 am. It was fun and once again thanks Cody for going with me and putting up with me!
Oh you are most likely thinking why we went to Oregon in the first place. Well you see my car needed to be registered and it has Oregon plates so we had to go to Oregon to do it, "your thinking why don't you just do it in Utah," "it would be a lot easier and cheaper". Well my friends I like my Oregon plates and as long as I have them it gives me hope that someday maybe we will be back in Oregon to live. A girl can have hope right!

Sounds like a fun trip! That was nice of Cody to go with you. I know why you want to keep the Oregon plates...I kept my California ones for as long as I could when I moved to Florida...I eventually had to change them and my drivers license. Sad. :( I'm glad you guys had a fun trip and got home safely.
