Second year Day 219 - Saturday July 20, 2013

We got up early and headed to West Jordan to the Golden Corral to meet everyone for breakfast. My new GPS is cool because when I got on the freeway it said that there was a traffic jam ahead and the speed was 30 on the freeway.  Jenn was following me and after i told her about it she turned on the radio and heard about a wreck ahead. She called Tyler, who told us how to detour and miss that section of freeway, which we did. That was great!  We got to the restaurant a few minutes late but it was fine. It was so fun to see everyone who could come.  There were 37 of us there for breakfast. The amazing thing was that Bridgett lasted for two hours in the restaurant!  And with all of that noise!  Crazy!  She had a fun talking to everyone, although she also sat at a table with just me so that she could talk when she felt like it. She had to go out into the restaurant from time to time to walk and someone went with her to "guard" her so that no one would run into her and jar her neck.  But she did it!  I was very glad to get a few minutes to talk to Frank and Cindy and of course everyone else. We were able to discuss our coming reunion on dads birthday (actually the day before) and it was just fun!  Oh I forgot to mention that from time to time when Bridgett is in a lot of pain, she uses the soft neck brace in the car. Today her neck was still hurting after arriving at the restaurant, so she wore it inside as we'll. I figure that it helped protect her neck in case someone ran into her. Anyway it was fun and then we all headed back to our homes (or hotel!). We were supposed to got to the "big" Hall reunion this evening, but it was outside at the park and it was SO hot!  Bridgett was worn out as well, so we just stayed in Provo. Arri and I tried to get some unpacking done at her apartment as well so that she would be ready for a new week.
