Elena's visit

My friend Elena from Moldova came to visit us in Provo this past weekend for General Conference. We had a great time together. She is currently living in Chicago and made arrangements to take the train back (33 hours). The train was supposed to come through Provo to pick her up at 4 am this morning. We left at 3:30, and when there was still no train after 4:30, we called Amtrak to see what was up. He informed us that the train was running about an hour late, and that since Provo was an unmanned station, they would only allow her 2 carry-on bags rather than the 5 bags she was told (which is allowed at a real station). She had 5 bags, but we decided to wait it out anyway. Only after another hour of waiting at that insane hour in the morning and having a deaf homeless guy keep approaching us, asking what time it was, where we were going, and asking for money, and my insatiable hunger (I have to eat within an hour or so of being awake at ALL times), and Elena's mother nature call, and realizing they probably weren't going to let her on with her 5 bags anyway, we finally gave up and came home. I was almost late for work. It's always hard for me to get out of bed, but this morning after such little sleep, my body felt like the weight of an elephant and I just didn't have the strength to get out of bed. I barely made it on time for my early meeting this morning!
Anyway, Elena is a great photographer and took some photos of us, so enjoy!
Oh, and Siena's favorite new thing is to put something over her head or face and walk around. She thinks it's hilarious when she bumps into things because she can't see where she's going. Pretty funny!
