Paul Warren Kistemann is Blessed!

Jameson and I drove down to Arizona with my mother for my sister Cami's youngest baby's blessing. We left on Friday night and went to the Golden Hills motel. I loved it! Mainly because the owner was so excited that he could offer wireless internet and long distance to his clients. He was doing his best to provide the best customer service skills he could in his corner of the world. It made it my #1 place for Mt. Carmel junction for sure!

When we woke up in the morning, we drove into Kanab to visit with my grandparents for a few minutes and eat breakfast. It is always such a pleasure to see them. And so hard to say goodbye.

We also got to see my Aunt Rosemary and Uncle Ali and their daughter Terra because they stopped by as well. It was a very exciting to see them . . . passing as ships in the night. :)

Then we went all the way to Cami's. Her second oldest son Timmy, had his birthday on Monday, but we decided to celebrate on Saturday while all his family was there. There was lots of family (both Cristian's and Cami's) there to celebrate. We also celebrated his cousin Isaiah's birthday.

Then the next day we went to church to see Paul Warren Kistemann be blessed by his father. It was a very special and a little bit of an emotional experience for all of us.

As a little side note -- Jameson is Mary's new favorite person. For some reason unknown to the rest of society, Mary (my sister's second youngest) attached herself to Jameson. Calling him 'her boy' and stopped just short of gluing herself to him. Probably because no one would help her with the glue. When we left, she asked if she could come with us. Her parents said that they wouldn't come with, and she said that she would come back later for them. Turns out Jameson does have a way with the ladies . . . who knew? :) Just kidding :) I knew :)

Overall, it was a great trip, with a ton of great moments and stories that have already become a regular part of our vocabulary and joke scheme. It was quite the worthwhile road trip.
