I spent 2 weeks worrying about the drive to Idaho for Miya's graduation. The mountain passes had a ton of snow and it was supposed to snow during our drive. Driggs and Rexburg were getting snow. The plan was for Phil to work and fly in to Idaho Falls on Wednesday night for the ceremonies happening on Thursday and I would drive with the girls on Monday to hang with Miya and mom for a few days. Monday was super snowy so we headed out on Tuesday. We made good time to Pendleton Oregon so we checked the pass and it looked clear so we continued the drive to Boise. We got a little snow on the pass and I had Nona say a prayer that we would be safe. I am such a chicken driving in snow now. We spent the night in Boise at a place with a pool and hot tub so we had something to do. Got up and Nona swam again and then we headed to Driggs. We drove through snow for a couple hours between Burley and Idaho Falls, but the roads were good.
I was so glad we braved the drive when we were at the graduation ceremony I think I forgot what a bid accomplishment it was that Miya was graduating from college and moving on to graduate school. It was great to hear of all the amazing things these graduates would be doing and the promise from church leadership that they could change the world.
It was great to be with mom for a few days and to play some pickleball with Steph and Ty. We also got to see Cannon for dinner, graduation, and breakfast the day we headed out of town. My mom has been down in St. George for the past few months and was suprised that it was hard for her to be back home. She is so amazing, but it is hard to know she is so sad. I wish I lived closer, but glad we can see each other in the summer. She is heading to Italy to see Nicki and go to the temple in Rome with Caleb before his mission.
