"Quick" trip to Logan

Okay so "Quick" only describes how long we were there!!! Last Tuesday the 18th my two sisters and I drove up to Logan. Back track here. So I have been trying to do some distance (branch) schooling through USU , I was going to start the summer semester. Well it has been a long drawn out process to get my financial aid. Having to do with 1 wrong number on my social security number in their system. Only I didn't find this out until the end of July. Well again another long process in trying to get them a copy of my ss card. Well last monday afternoon after talking with them again and a few more setbacks to get it to them, we decided I should just take a trip up there and get everything straightened out. So Tuesday I headed up.
Now of course when I want to do something, things don't quite go the way they should for me EVER! No matter where I go I swear! So Brooke and I left a LOT later than planned. We stopped in Aurora and I dropped Brooke off and picked up Amy and Sena. I knew Brooke would have been beyond bored with so much driving ahead, be good while I talked with the school, and not much time to play or do anything outside of the car, so I left her with my mom and brothers.
As soon as we got into the valley I was so excited. Ok so that is an understatement. When we turned off I-15 and headed through Brigham City I was excited, when we entered the valley I was ecstatic!! I wish the leaves would have started turning, but oh well. I was still in heaven!! I love love it. I kept asking the girls if they thought it was beautiful or what they thought. I think I drove them nuts!! lol. And of course i was extremely sad to leave.
While we were there we walked around the temple grounds. I had to take pictures! Man I love it. It looks like a castle!!! I was wishing I had some way to do a session (that I should have thought of that before I left Parowan with only pants). But then there wasn't much I could do with the girls either. And we didn't really have time! Since it was only a day trip.
I was also able to hurry and say hi to a friend up there that I haven't seen in years!! It was a good day other than the long dang driving, but then it would have been better if I could have stayed longer (maybe one day....)
Here are some pics at the temple.

You should have stopped by--but I'll forgive you since it was such a quick trip. Did you get things figured out with the school?
