Better Late Than Never!

Its only been a month or so...haha, but I'm finally going to post a little about my trip with my family to St. George. My mom took Nattie and Nate at the beginning of the week but I had school so I waited and went down with my dad on a Wednesday. It was fun just to have several hours of driving and one on one time with him. Funniest moment with him was definitely when we stopped to fill up his truck in Cedar City. He was getting kind of hungry and thirsty so he sent me in to get us some snacks and drinks. I came out a couple minutes later and hopped back in the truck, but I guess he didn't see me or hear me (it was windy and raining). I played on my phone as I waited for him to finish up, but after another 5 minutes or so, I glanced out to see what was taking so long, because it doesn't take 10 minutes to fill up. He was gone. I figured maybe he had gone in to use the restroom or something but then I realized the truck doors were locked and I hadn't locked them when I got in. Made me wonder if he really was aware that I had come back? After a couple more minutes I decided I'd better go back inside. Well, in my attempt I set the truck alarm off! Oops! Since he'd locked it from the outside and I attempted to get out without unlocking all the doors first I triggered the alarm. I had everyone around starring at me,  it was kind of embarrassing and I even considered waving to everyone....haha. I decided though, that alarm would send the message to my dad if he wasn't sure where I was. So I stayed in the truck. Only to have the alarm go off 3 more times before he came out. Even funnier, he came out with another drink. He thought I was in the bathroom and hadn't bought any of the stuff yet. Needless to say, we had a good laugh.

The weather in St. George wasn't the greatest so we didn't get to do all the normal outside stuff and didn't lay out or anything which was a bummer, but we made up for it in shopping and eating! I seriously think I ate more food in those 5 days than I do in a month. I was stuffed 24/7.  We also did something we've never done down there before which was 4-wheeling! My mom and Nathan didn't want to go so it was just my dad, Natalie, and me. We took 2 machines down with us, but one of them totally died 10 minutes in, so we didn't stay as long as planned and had to take turns going out, but it was still way fun and now we know where to go and what trails are fun for next time and I got my first towing experience in :)

Here are a bunch of random pictures from the trip

Courtesy of Instagram of course!

It was a really great little trip! I'm so happy I got to go and spend some time having fun with some of my family before I had to come back to reality and start working again.

I already can't wait for the next trip!

Weekend Getaway.

Thursday evening my family (with the exception of Nat) all headed down to St. George. Tyler and I both had class Thursday night and could have left later, but decided it wasn't worth the expense of the hotel since we'd be getting in so late. We decided to go down to Tyler's parent's house in Santaquin and stay that night and knock off 45 min. off the drive. Friday morning we hit the road a little after 7 and after only a few minutes we got pulled over. Tyler has horrible luck when it comes to cops.
He wasn't speeding (for once), instead was pulled for the tint on our car. It's not legal, although it really doesn't look dark at all during the day...but since the sun wasn't yet up it looked darker than it was. Thankfully we got off with just a warning. This doesn't happen often for Tyler either so we thought we were pretty lucky.

Friday we spent the day shopping and that night we saw the Little Mermaid at Tuacahn.

Saturday consisted of more shopping & laying out at the pool.  Tyler spent the majority of the day watching football...I of course joined him for the BYU game.

Sunday we visited the temple and took a few pics before heading home!

Question of the Day:

I feel as if everything always likes to fall on me at once.
The good stuff and the bad.
This weekend ALL the good stuff is happening and I got a tough choice to make.

This weekend do I choose to....
A) Go to see Natalie sing at the YW conference.
B) Go to the Color Festival
C) Go to St. George with friends for the weekend.

Like I said tough choice.

The Last Month...And Then Some!

So it has been forever since I have blogged. Good news though! I am back!!! Between finals and an internet issue, blogging has been almost impossible but with only two finals left, I have a little more free time...so to catch up on the time I have been gone...I went on a weekend trip to St George at the end of March which was so much fun. Tyler's greenie just got off his mission and lives down there so it was the perfect excuse to getaway from Utah County for a couple of days. We went with several other friends and had a blast even though our trip was NOT long enough. Sunday before the trip we went to the temple and took some cute pictures of the group (minus Paxman, his greenie.)

After St. George it was full gear wedding time for my Best Friend Chelsey, who got married on April 9, the wedding turned out amazing, even though it rained it could not have been more perfect and she was a gorgeous bride! I was lucky and got to be a bridesmaid for her, so that was a lot of fun. I was and still am very happy for her and Mitch. They are such a cute couple. Tyler came and hung with me at the reception which was fun...and I got the bouquet which scared him a little I think, because he got teased by my family, but he'll get over it. haha.
