A Fabulously Fun Friend Weekend...

After looking forward to this weekend for quite some time it was finally here... and then of course over far too fast!

It started with 5 of us... me, Kim, Lisa, Deon and Raquel...  leaving bright and early Friday morning for Salt Lake... after being up until 3:30 that morning  finishing vinyl for a few people... I started out a little sleepy, but quickly recovered. :)  We went straight to the ABC 4 studios to be in their "studio audience" for "Good Things Utah".  We had a blast... and even had two seconds of fame when they showed us at a commercial break... feel free to ask us for autographs...

After that we headed to...

for lunch...  however I should have taken a picture to show that it was actually "5 girls and 50 guys".  Obviously a place that men go on their lunch hour because we were very out numbered. :)  But it was a seriously good burger and fabulous fries.

 

After our bellies were full we shopped...  and found fun stuff at Tai Pan and at South Town Mall.

Then being hungry again we headed to Park City for dinner at Baja Cantina where we were joined with two more friends... Debbie and Rachel.

After that fab meal we checked in to this sweet place...

in a gorgeous 3 bedroom condo, where we went right to bed....

NOT!

... we jumped on the furniture :), laughed and talked, played a game of cards, made far too much noise.

... and FINALLY went to bed @ 5 AM...

We woke up far to early the next morning.... to two sneaky friends crawling around in our room. :)

We all got ready...headed to a yummy breakfast @ "Kneaders".

And then tackled the Park City Outlets...

We shopped and shopped and were happy that we were able to get it all home. :)

And thankful to make it through the snowstorm we went through.



It was a fabulous weekend, full of fun laughter and friendship...

I've been thinking about friendship a lot lately.

I am blessed... truly blessed to have such wonderful friends.  I have been blessed all my life with good friends and my life would never be the same without each and every one of these special relationships.  They build me up, they listen when I need a listening ear, they make me want to be a better mother and wife, and they love me even when "I'm keeping it real" :). 

My memories are full of family stuff, but also full of friends... some of those friend relationships have dwindled to only exchanging Christmas Cards each year...  but each relationship near or far has shaped my life.

I live in a great area full of women who build each other up...  I can think of at least 10 other ladies that I could spend a weekend with and have a ball with too.  And I am so grateful for that.  I hope that I can be the type of friend that my friends are to me... accepting, supportive, loving and fun.

I love you guys!!
