A weekend of a lot of emotions!!

This past week I went to Providence Rhode Island for 5 whole days. I had a training for work and it was my first time leaving Tylie. I am so blessed to have such an amazing family who is always there to help out whenever we need them. Shane is such an awesome dad so my mind was already at ease but when he couldn't be there my family just steps right in. Thanks guys, you're the best! Besides the traumatic thought of not seeing Ty and Shane for 5 days, it was all in all a great training. I would have to say the best part of my week was spending time with my in-laws! I have been so lucky to have had two opportunities to visit them while they have been on their mission in Hartford Connecticut. They drove all the way from Hartford to Providence to stay my last night with me! We had so much fun walking around, going to dinner, shopping, seeing a little bit of the city and of course talking all night until the wee hours of morning! Van even said in the morning "I couldn't get the two of you to shut up last night." It was pretty funny, and such a fun reunion! Even though we were only with each other for such a short time we had a blast and I am so grateful for the two of them. Thanks for coming and visiting me...especially on the night where I was missing my little family the most! I love you guys!

This is the city of Providence. It was really pretty! I loved it. This river thing was really cool, they even had gondola rides. We never went but it looked really fun!



After a very long week, and a very long long plane ride home this is the smile that greeted me. At that very moment I knew life couldn't get better than this, and I love every minute of it!

Chels... she is so cute! Tell her that she can have her pick of the Hicks. Jake or Luke. :)

I can't believe how crazy to leave her for 5 days. I have a hard time over night and it doesn't happen often. From the looks of things Shane did a good job taking over for you.

This is a really great post. It is an awesome thing to look at your life and realize you wouldn't have it any other way. Tylie is looking SO beautiful, her skin is so perfect!

I love getting little glimpses into the Bulkley life. I miss you guys!

Wow, I can't believe how BIG she is getting! She is definitely moving from the cutie baby features to the beautiful girl that everyone knows she is going to be. :-)

Shane, Chels, and little Tylie, I miss you all so much!

Chels, I'm so glad to hear that your trip went well and that you came back safely. :-)

Shane...Thank you for the comment!!! I hope you noticed that your blog was listed on my blogging family. Even though Chlesea is doing things(?) the spirit of Shane is coming through. Your indomitable attitude has always been an example to me. Earth is a good place to be when surrounded by good friends and family. The second thing I noticed was how many friends you guys have listed - par for the course.
