Haley and I left for Rochester on Friday, Feb. 17th. When we landed, Haley asked, "Doesn't it snow here?" because there was very little snow on the ground! So unusual for Rochester! The Paulsen's picked us up from the airport and then fed us some fantastically yummy homemade pizza. Tessa then joined us at the hotel for a sleepover. The girls got to do some late night swimming, which they really enjoyed! Sorry about the quality of pictures, they were taken with my phone and the lighting was low, so the pictures didn't turn out so well.
Emily Fletcher organized a brunch for Haley and I on President's Day. All of our friends were there and Emily made so many yummy things, including two types of cinnamon rolls! Thanks to everyone who brought yummy things as well. Haley and I felt spoiled! As a side note: Emily will be our future neighbor, we bought the lot next to her lovely house and we can't be more excited to have the Fletcher family as neighbors!
This is my good friend Jen Gladwell and her daughter Mylee, who we'd love for Nate to marry someday. If only wishes could come true! Jen and her family are moving to Utah where her husband Mike is buying an oral surgery practice (I hope that I got that right). We will really miss the Gladwell family. At least we can visit when we are in Utah!
Monday night we took the Paulsen's out for dinner at Noodles and Co. as a thank you for feeding us the entire weekend. Sarah kept making us yummy meals and we never had to eat out, so we gave her a break and took them out. Plus, it was one last fling with our favorite Rochester family and Haley could see Tessa more (only prolonging the inevitable).
And then there were the goodbyes. It made me wonder if the trip was a good thing or not when Haley had such a hard time saying goodbye. But she kept saying she was grateful to see Tessa one last time. I kept reminding her that we would see them again - I didn't know when or how, but that it would happen (right Sarah?). We absolutely have been blessed to have had the Paulsen family in our lives and we will truly miss seeing them everyday.
All good things must come to an end. But Haley is recovering and we had a fun trip with just Mom and Haley. Here we are in the plane. We were happy to be home with Dad, Alina, and the boys. We missed them!

Those brunch pictures made me so jealous. Wish I could have been there!
