Girls Weekend

I know... two new posts in one day! This is for you Stevie and all others who have been checking all week with no results! This last weekend, I went to Provo with my mom and sister. Kellie had a teaching conference there and with gas and hotel paid, we decided that we couldn't pass up a chance for some good old fashioned playing! We left at 6:30 am (my body is still in the extreme fatigue stage and was NOT happy with me!)and got there in time to drop Kellie off. Then, my mom and I headed over to my old stomping Ground... the BYU Wilkinson Center! We snagged a table in the corner and while I worked on my thesis all morning, my mom cut out a baby quilt! We must have looked like quite the pair! She also took the time to address my thank you cards for my thesis research and helped me immensely!


Once I felt that I had reached a stopping point for the day, we met up with my dear friend, Rosemary (from my former office at BYU) for lunch at the Cougar Eat and then my mom and I left for an adventure in Consignment Shopping....maternity style! Provo has much better shopping than Logan and so we had great success in one little shop. Thanks mom for your help! I didn't have many pants that fit right now and so it was becoming a little essential to get some new wardrobe. My tummy is just starting to poke out and it is just enough so that anything not loose around my mid section is really uncomfortable.

We picked Kellie up from her conference, we then dashed back to BYU to meet up with my brother, Nate's super cute girlfriend, Tanja, for dinner! I think Nate was a little sad to have missed the initial "meeting the family" moment, but we sure didn't mind! After desperately trying to find a place to eat, we settled on Los Hermanos for some tasty Mexican food.
While we were grilling Tanja and trying to get her to feel as uncomfortable as humanly possible (yeah right!), the waiter brought our food and promptly dropped it all over the floor and the couple next to us! Oops!
It made for an enjoyable evening and we had too much fun laughing when the guy in the table that had just had our food dumped on them finished it off by spilling his water everywhere! Good times!


I struggled that night at the hotel... I was on a roll away cot and having the beginnings of a cold made for a miserable night.. heartburn, missing Kyle, seriously aching back and hips, sore throat and congestion... let's just say that I woke up feeling pretty miserable. I tried to shake it the next day, but I basically felt like a vegetable while my mom drove us to yard sales, Costco, other stores, etc. We met up with Aaron and Allyson (my bro and sis in law) in Ogden for lunch and then I slept all the way back to Logan. I got home and was so dead that I laid on the bed while Kyle tried to massage out my aches and pains while we both listened to a fabulous Relief Society Broadcast. I think that it was the first time Kyle had ever listened to one and it was fun to talk about it afterwards. In all, it was a good getaway and made me even more grateful for days that I feel good and for my wonderful pillowtop mattress. This week has been crammed with a lot of coding transcripts for my thesis and I find out how close I am to my timeline today at my thesis meeting! Wish me luck!

p.s. the apartment we were looking at fell through... I just got a really panicked feeling after some miscommunication with our future landlord. Anybody know of a cheap 2 bedroom rental in Logan?
