the drive...

My sweet Kayla got strep throat... AGAIN! And this time her tonsils were so swollen she couldn't swallow and was completely miserable. She didn't really eat anything for several days, and lost 14 pounds in about 6 days. :( Her tonsils were so bad the doctor deemed them "the ugliest" he had seen in quite a while. Poor girl. We're going back to the doctor in a couple weeks... hopefully she won't have to have her tonsils out. It not looking too good though.
So, I came home from work one afternoon and found her looking so sad and depressed. My first thought was she needed to get out of the house... she had been home from school for 3 days already and I could tell she was going crazy being at home so much.

We hoped in the car and off we went on a drive...
We had so much fun together. We talked about school, boys, her goals, and everything going on in her life. It was so fun to spend this time talking with her. I love nothing more than a good conversation with one of my daughters. These are the moments when I realize what good kids I have and how lucky I am to be a mom. It's the best job in the whole world!
We got so busy talking that before we knew it we ended up in Provo. So, where else to go but up Provo Canyon, through Heber and down through Park City. 3 hours later we ended up back at home.

It was the best 3 hours of my week.
