So this last weekend I spent down in Southern UT, St. George to be exact. It was GREAT! I drove down Friday, April 23, 2010 with my friend Annie and we stayed till Monday (today) April 26, 2010. We drove down in rain and snow only to find ourselves arriving in clear skies and sunshine! It was a joy to be out & about in 75 degree weather and soaking in the rays while sitting pool side and than of course having some fun out at the lake. We stayed with my Uncle Clint and his family. It was awesome for them to give us a place to stay and than to take us boating! So much fun! Thank you uncle & auntie!
So... Friday we arrived in George town around 4pm or so. We sat and visited for some time with my Aunt Laura which is always great. She is an amazing person so it's always nice just to sit and catch up. We talked about family, friends, played getting to know you with Annie since she had never met her before and of course talked about life stuff. She has such great insight and such a powerful spirit. I'm so grateful she is my aunt. After girl talk we decided to go get some dindin at the local Red Robin's. My aunt & cousins came along and after dinner of course it was only right to hit a movie. We picked "The Last Song" such a sad movie but really good. I was pleasantly surprised. But, if you are a guy... I don't recommend it unless you really are wanting to impress your girl. I say only because I'm pretty sure most guys wouldn't enjoy it. My cousin Grant was a good sport and sat through the whole movie... We love him for spending his Friday night with us girls. After the movies we hit the sack... We were pretty tuckered out from our day of driving.
Saturday... We woke up before anyone else in the house hold.. LOL We ran some errands, grabbed some yummy breakfast, muffins and super healthy fruit smoothies... And yes, they were so yummy! We walked around the outlet's and than headed back to the house. We than slipped into our bathing suits and hit pool side! Books in hand and tanning lotion rubbed in... We were soaking in the sunshine and loving it. I won't lie... I'm totally sun kissed! Love it! Around 1:30 or so my uncle was ready to hit the lake and so were we! Packed up the boat, the car, our purses and we were out the door to Sand Hallow. What a great time! The sun was out and it was just beautiful outside! Of course being that it was only April the water was still heck'a cold we made do. All of us girls were to weak (won't lie) to hit the water but we enjoyed relaxing on the boat and watching the boys do their thing on surfing behind the boat. We were out at the lake for about 3 hours or so and than off to home we went. Once home us girls hit up Sally Beauty Supplies to do our toes and than of course... Ordered some take out from The Pizza Factory .. YUMMY! My aunt & uncle went off to do their date night while us young folks enjoyed of pizza, painting nails, movies and HOT TUBBIN'! Such a great night=)
Sunday... We got up... Showered... Made ourselves pretty... Had some breakfast and than we were out the door. We had a plan to hit church but of course we were distracted by the outlet's and instead did some shopping. I got 3 pair of cute shoes, new sunglasses, and a very cute black pencil skirt. I plan on looking pretty adorable this summer.. Just you wait! After shopping we went home, changed, and had some yummy food that my wonderful aunt was so kind to prepare for us. After dinner we had some more awesome girl chat with my aunt. Again, she is an amazing woman. I truly enjoyed my time with her and talking. What a great thing to now be at an age where I can have such an amazing conversations with people in my life that I have always looked up to. We decided to have ourselves a Glee night... Seeing how I have yet to ever watch the show we thought it only to be right to have ourselves a little marathon. Okay... Ummm... Glee is AMAZING! I love it! And I'm so buying the seasons! Ha! We stayed up till about 1:30am watching ourselves some Glee and than finally we all were having trouble holding our eyes open, so bed time was our next exciting event we attended. Great day!
Monday, the day of leaving. We woke up... showered, packed and cleaned. Breakfast was made for us... And it was yummy! Thank you Rob! We packed the car up, hit up Harmon's for thank you cards and flowers and than returned once more to say good bye and make our deliver of flowers & thank you cards. After leaving my uncle's we headed to my wonderful grandparents for a visit before heading home to Salt town. I made sure to also have some flowers for my beautiful grandmother. We visited with my grandpa & grandma for about an hour & half... Such a treat! =) I'm THE luckiest girl in the world! They are two amazing people and I'm so grateful to have them in my life and a constant part of my life. What great examples. After visiting with them we were on the road again....
