Arizona Weekend

I stole away for the weekend.
It was a very last minute decision
that I rationalized because E and the boys
would be going on a fathers and sons camp out.
I hate leaving my family.
I love them.
But
I think I love them a whole lot more after taking a few days
for myself.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my weekend
in Arizona.

 

Three things that would have made the trip even more amazing?
1. If Stef had been there, too
2. Getting a large Bahama Bucks instead of the baby size
3. If I had remembered I wanted to go to the lake, and gone

 

Three yummy foods I was so excited I got to eat while I was there?
1. Bahama Bucks
2. Costa Vida salad
3. Rosa's Mexican Food

Three games I played?
1. Dominoes with Grandpa Allen and my family
2. Settlers of Zarahemla with Jacqui and Josh (Ticket to Ride was packed away)
3. How big is Jacqui's baby belly?

Three places I went?
1. Mesa Temple
2. Jacqui's new house
3. ASU campus


Three people I certainly wasn't expecting to see, but ran into while I was out?
1. My Aunt and Uncle, at the temple Friday night
2. Mr. Green from Westwood (the teacher who led my Close-Up trip to Washington DC my senior year), at yoga class Saturday morning
3. Ted, at the temple Saturday morning

Three fun things I did?
1. Hiking Camelback Mtn. with my dad
2. Jacqui's baby shower
3. Playing games with everyone


Three ways I relaxed?
1. Walking through the neighborhood with my mom and sisters
2. Looking through photo albums with my mom
3. Sitting in the massage chair


Three times I laughed a lot?
1. when Grandpa got irritated playing Dominoes with three chatty girls
2. when I spilled on my shirt three times before Jacqui's baby shower and ran through Target trying to find a new shirt with Jenny who was carrying a cheesecake she didn't want to melt in the car
3. when I saw Jenny's face in this picture:

 

Three things I was so happy to return to Monday night?
1. Eric

2. Kyler and Kacin

3. My comfy bed
