Provo

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. mom and dad were here a couple weeks ago and brought jack, ben and wil with them. i have to say that i missed them like crazy and could hardly feel guilty that meagan hadn't seen them for more than 5 minutes in a whole week before they came to see me. we had so much fun! so much fun in fact that all 5 of us (including jason) got that cryptosporidium thing from the lehi pool. it was a freaking fun pool but i'm not so sure that it was worth the stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, lack of sleep and missed work and school. we're just now starting to get over it after a whole week although stomachs are still pretty touchy.
