Friday March 4...
Katelyn, Joey, and I left around 4 p.m. We met Emily for dinner at Olive Garden around 7. Homegirl paid. I was pumped, and very, very excited to be with all my friends. And we all know that when I get excited, I can be quite loud and some may even say entertaining. However, the people behind me, found me a little annoying. They obviously had their panties in a wad. Everyone else was enjoying my jokes and stories. Olive Garden even offered me a job as Dinner Entertainment. I turned them down though. It's not really my scene. After dinner we went back to Crusty's house. And took lots of "Mom Butt Pant" pictures. Sadly, I don't have any pictures from Friday, but if you have Facebook, please go enjoy. Well I have this one of the road trip, we know, you're jealous of these awesome shades.
Saturday March 5...
We slept until 7:30 a.m. Not the best time to wake up, given we didn't go to bed until after 1 a.m. It's all good. We ate breakfast and then all took naps. We eventually got ready and busted St. George wide open. We ate at Cafe Rio for dinner. Now, that place ladies and gentlemen, is some good food. After dinner, we went to watch the movie Tangled at a dollar theater. I was lucky enough to get hit on by a six-year-old. It really was my lucky night. His mom sat in between us, but during the movie he ended up on her lap. Every so often, I would look over to see that sweet boy smiling giving me his best googily eyes. Only if I was 15 years younger, I would have it made. I left the movie a little depressed, homeboy didn't ask for my digits, but I filled the void in my heart with some frozen yogurt. It was delish. With bellies full, we headed over to the bowling lanes where I shook what my mama gave me. They were playing some great dancing music, and my dancing seemed to help my bowling as well. It was a win-win night for me guys. I even had some "cooler-than-the-flip-side-of-the-pillow" teenagers compliment my dancing. And people say, us white folk can't dance, PUH-LEASE! They obviously haven't met me.
Sunday March 6...
This is where the tears were shed. Goodbyes are so hard. Sooo hard. Before we said "goodbye" we had the opportunity to attend the St. George Temple grounds. It is such a beautiful temple. It reminds me a lot of the Navuoo Temple, which is one of my favorites, so I fell in love with this one as well. We then went to church with Crusty. And let me just say that I love this Gospel. It never ceases to amaze me. After a great Sacrament meeting, we had to leave. It was bittersweet. Nope, it was just bitter. Goodbyes stink. It took us 30 mins to say goodbye, and some of us couldn't even talk. But we all promised to not let another 5 years go by. So, we'll see each other soon. We promised. The drive home was nothing short of amazing. Katelyn, Joey, and I engaged in a wonderful conversation about the Gospel and Heavenly Father. It was very inspiring. I am terrified to think about where I would be without it. It's definitely the rock to where I have built the foundation for my life. We made it home just in time for the CES Fireside given by Elder Perry. It was amazing to be in the room with an Apostle. You can easily tell they are men of God. And I cannot wait to be in a room full of them in 2 weeks. General Conference is gonna rock my socks people.
