girls getaway!

so we decided to take a little vacay and go to ut w/o kids (or hubby's). we had such a fun time. karis and i flew from az and camille, dana, and laura flew in from ca. and then we have lots of fam that lives in ut, so it was a perfect meeting point. it was quick, but filled w/ seeing people, driving to rexy and pocatello, a funeral, the mall, a movie, hangin out, and LOTS and LOTS of eating. i'm still stuffed! we rented a car so it was nice to not have to worry about being in the way of someone else.

marianne picked me up from the airport and then took me to the car rental place and we met up w/ jess and her darling kids jake and kate (seriously the best behaved kids)! these girls were my roomies up at ricks 11 yrs ago! and it just seems like old times when we get together! love you guys! thanks for going to lunch!

me and adrian met up for dinner w/ some fam. my aunt betsy, uncle mike, aunt kari, cousin jesse. the pizza factory is always a fav and so is getting together w/ these guys! love you all!

before we left to go to rexburg, i dropped adri off at work and got to see what she's been doing for the past 3 plus years. she works at a special school in springville and does an awesome job! this is jess one of the kids she's in charge of!

her friends at work all SO nice and friendly!

we stopped in pocatello at chili's to get some lunch and had great service! saunja and dennis thanks so much for letting us crash at your awesome house!

everytime i go to rexy i can't help but smile the entire time! i LOVE it there! the beautiful temple!

this is for my old roomies our old apt looks pretty much the same after all these years!

dana has a new bomb camera and was snapping shots a ton, so this is her in action. we picked up mere to come back w/ us to ptown. it was so fun to see her dorm and where she's been living. we also got to see where camille and karis lived 17 years ago so it was fun to watch camille go down memory lane! that was the first time she'd been there since she left!

mere and her little bf jeremy

back in provo we always have to hit up cafe rio! it was so fun we went to a movie after this and didn't love it (he's just not that into you), but it was fun to be out and about w/so many girls!

here we are on our way to the airport at 530 in the morn. i had such a fun time! thanks to good friends who helped watch my kids and my sweet hubby! thanks to everyone for the fun times! love you guys! we'll def have to do this again!
