Girls Trip

Ahhhhhhhh…..that is what I felt on my little weekend getaway to sunny St. George.  So relaxing.  I went with my sister Bethany, sis in law Jen, hopefully soon to be sis in law Aliska and her sister Katie.  We had the BEST time.  The drive was no big deal because I was laughing and talking and enjoying myself.  We pretty much just hung out at the pool the whole time.  The weather was so nice.  We read, talked, played games, went on the water slide.  I LOVED it.  At night we ate, talked, played games, watched movies, hot tubbed, stayed up late.  I LOVED it.  I did venture out once to go shopping, which made me cry because pants DO NOT fit me, oh well.

The best part of the whole thing was the lack of responsibility I could have.  No ONE was depending on me.  The only thing I had to do was make sure that Bethany didn’t have to do anything to make those little babies in her want to come early, I succeeded.

Pretty wild time for me when I come home and say, I didn’t wear sunscreen (ok the 2nd day I did), drank lots of diet coke with lime and didn’t go to church.  I know, I know I am so rebellious.

My boys missed me, they were higher than I kite when I got home Sunday night.   Right before I walked in the door Jonah was running wild with excitement and tripped and fell which led to crying which led to him throwing up.  Welcome home!  They acted like I had been gone forever.  The trouble with a fantastic weekend like that is that it ends all too soon and back to reality I go!

#1 WEAR sunscreen
#2 Is Bryan insulted that car drives with him are a big deal, because you don't 'laugh, talk and enjoy yourself?'
#3 Good job helping Bethany out.
#4 How rebellious to not go to church, no wonder you didn't know anything about conference...

Great post, Melanie! I could picture all of it like I was there myself --except for not going to church. I would never do that.
