Okay, fellow Bakery patrons, I’ve delved into some truly nausea-inducing classic Jen to complete the timeline. Along with making me want to head to Chicago, ring Jen’s doorbell, and vomit at her feet for posting such self-congratulatory, delusional garbage about her perceived busy bee-ness on the internet, a Utah-house ban is looking more and more unlikely. The mystery continues!
The poop video was posted March 2014; Jen states that the past 5-6 weeks have included her “losses” – so sometime between January and March 2014.
Fitting the timeline, it looks like her last solo visit was in October 2013. See the excerpt for her WIR post below so you can suffer with me under a generous heaping of smugness. Meow2, if you are already feeling ill, I recommend you turn away. Particularly revolting: “Have I mentioned how much I love being out at the family vacation home in Utah? This place is my heart home…Even if I am stuck at the computer all day, I can just look out the window at those glorious mountains and feel at peace…I think most people assume when I go out to Utah that I am on vacation, but in reality, I am just living out my daily life and to-dos in a different location. I spend just as much time working on videos and blog posts as I do at home.”
HOWEVER, in May 2014, two months after the poop video, Jen and Don were back at the Utah house alone, albeit it both of them. The way Jen is rhapsodizing it sounds very unlikely that she’s creeping back, this time with Don in tow, following a ban: “I so enjoy the privilege to stay at this beautiful house in this beautiful place! It truly is our home away from home and we are very comfortable living our daily lives whenever we are here.” Just for fun, please note she also claims that now that Don works from home, they are both working from home together (JEN! YOU DON’T HAVE A JOB!): “We don’t treat being in Utah as being on vacation, since we still keep up with our work and usual to-dos while we are here.”
In addition to the phrasing in her WIR post that sounds like no drama whasoever when it comes to her “heart home,” it makes sense they came out together, as Don now works from home so it would be particularly odd for her to make a solo trip (also they are aggressively TTC at this point). As for never going to Utah solo again, they were in Italy in September 2014, she starts seeing a real fertility doctor around the same time, she is diagnosed with polyps in December, has surgery in March, gets pregnant in April. According to her, the first trimester is full of scares, so it would be extremely surprising if anyone let her travel alone, even if she wanted to.
OCTOBER 2013: LAST SOLO TRIP TO UTAH

Have I mentioned how much I love being out at the family vacation home in Utah? This place is my heart home. I feel so grounded when I am here. Even if I am stuck at the computer all day, I can just look out the window at those glorious mountains and feel at peace. I was lucky to squeeze in a 2-week trip out here this fall, which I am more than halfway through now. I think most people assume when I go out to Utah that I am on vacation, but in reality, I am just living out my daily life and to-dos in a different location. I spend just as much time working on videos and blog posts as I do at home. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do so in this setting and I figure it’s better to grab the opportunity while it exists. This beautiful home that I have free and clear access to is available to me in this beautiful place, so why not come and enjoy it? I can still be productive and reap the benefits of how much this place relaxes me at the same time. It’s a no brainer, if you ask me.
I spent the first few days of my trip out here with just Winnie as my companion. As much as I love my husband and dearly miss him when we are apart, I think a little distance every once in awhile is actually a very healthy thing for our relationship. Especially considering that we see each other a lot since we both currently work from home, it was nice to have a few solo days to just do my own thing (plus it made our reunion that much sweeter!).
JAN – MARCH 2014: POOP HAPPENS
MAY 2014: BACK IN UTAH WITH DON

Excerpt:
We flew out to Utah on Monday for our annual spring visit at the family vacation home out here. I so enjoy the privilege to stay at this beautiful house in this beautiful place! It truly is our home away from home and we are very comfortable living our daily lives whenever we are here. Don has set up a work station in the big loftice (my funny word for an office in a loft) so that he can do his work just like he does at our home in Illinois. I also follow my usual daily schedule same as at home when we are in Utah. We appreciate the change of scenery, fresh mountain air, and a chance to be reunited with dear friends whenever we come to visit, which is typically once a season.
We don’t treat being in Utah as being on vacation, since we still keep up with our work and usual to-dos while we are here. That includes, for me, staying on track with the Tone It Up #BikiniSeries. I’m working towards my#150BySummer which translates to logging about 2.6 miles of cardio per day during the 8 weeks of the series. I’ve been running 15 miles a week and adding in an extra cardio circuit style workout 3-4 times per week. I was pretty proud of myself for reaching the 30-mile marker just one week into the series! I’m cruising along and will definitely reach my goal by the first day of summer. Exercising here in Utah at an altitude of 6,000 feet is quite different from at home in Illinois where we’re just 500 feet above sea level.
