girls night heyyyyyyy

gotta glam it up for the ladies night

 After hiking, grocery shopping, and lunching on Saturday I got home to get ready for the much awaited girls night. Kiersten, Mikell, Jade and I have been a besties group since 7th grade...mikell ever since I lived in my neighborhood. We did EVERYTHING together, and thankfully have stayed super close throughout the years even with me deciding to move halfway across the country. We had dinner at my beloved Hires big H, shopped and acted a fool at the new City Creek Mall, and turned into thirteen year old girls giggling at Kiersten's house until 1 in the morning. I love getting my fix of hanging out with my best friends, and it always makes it hard to go back home knowing I can't hang out with them every weekend :( So come visit me guys! geez I have visited you how many times now? I see who is pulling the weight in this relationship.

mmm that's my root beer float in the foreground

silly jade got a blt,

but I got my cheeseburger. ah.

we tried on clothes that were slightly inappropriate for us married ladies

scandalous!

jessica fail. I seriously couldn't stop laughing that whole night.

 Mikell met up with us a little bit late, so we went back to forever 21 to let her shop a bit there...we got a little bored.

We stopped by Tiffany's and Nordie's..gosh I miss that store. Has anyone else noticed that they laid out city creek from not so swanky of stores on one end, and the really swanky stuff way down on the other end after crossing the street? Don't want the bourgeois intermingling with the peasants now.

 This is when we got really silly. Trying out partner yoga...or pretending we knew what we were doing. Such a fun night gals! I always laugh hardest when I am with you! Love you!

One of the things I miss most in Utah are the mountains. They are easy to be taken for granted when you live right next to them. Living in Madison though has made me so heartsick for them! I always make sure to do something in the mountains every time I visit home. My mom and I went up Millcreek Canyon and did a little hike for a couple hours. It was super fun. I was able to try out my new camera a bit, and chat with my mama while basking in the beautiful nature. I didn't bring proper clothing so I borrowed clothes from my little bro and my mom, hence my semi frumpy attire...whatevs.

I love how green it still is up here

thanks for the shirt johnny. I got it nice and sweaty for ya

there were random rose bushes everywhere on the hike

rattle snake!

took this for joey. only 7 more weeks left!

I hadn't showered after the hike so I was really fresh for susie haha.

 After our hike we picked up Nana from the house so we could all get lunch and then go to costco to get groceries for our big sunday dinner with the whole family. While driving down cute old main street in bountiful my mom saw a car she recognized and said susie was working at the fabric store! She pulled over so I could surprise her. Susie was my high school swim coach/one of my second moms while growing up. I love this woman so much! I ran into the fabric store and snuck up behind her to give her a big hug. She had no idea who was hugging her until I let her turn around and see who it was. We were both crying so excited to see each other! I haven't seen her in so long. It was so nice to see her and see that she has been doing well.

 After seeing Susie we went to Plates and Palates, our favorite place for lunch. This is seriously one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. Their salads are to die for and everything else they serve is super tasty too. I got the waldorf chicken salad and as you can see it was delicious.
