Happy long weekend...

Happy long weekend everyone! I'm thrilled Memorial Day weekend is here.

It always marks the start of Summer for me and that is beyond exciting.

I'll be moving most of the weekend, not far, but I loathe moving. I am 

the type that likes to get everything done and organized right away or else I can't rest.

So no doubt I'll be moving today and tomorrow and possibly into the holiday, but 

at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. On Tuesday I fly out to NYC

for a little reunion with some dear girlfriends. So that will be my reward after

hauling boxes up and down stairs. Life's always a balancing act!

Have a wonderful long weekend and here's to hoping r&r is on the books for you!

Outdoor Therapy

Memorial Day some girlfriends and I

had planned to hike to Stewart Falls up

the Provo Canyon.

The plan quickly changed once we realized

the trail was muddy and wet from the storm 

we'd had days earlier.

So we decided to go on a different hike, 

one we knew would be dry and closer to the valley.

We headed to Bridal Veil instead.

The day was beautiful, we walked along

the Provo river trail and 

did what girls do best...talk & talk.

It was a very relaxing day

and so therapeutic to be outdoors 

all day long.

Air show downpour...

I was super excited to go to the air show 

on Saturday, because I'd heard

how great it was.

I'm a dork and thought that a cute 

bomber jacket would

be appropriate

for the occasion.

I brought a poncho just in case it rained.

To say it rained was an understatement.

We were eagerly waiting to go through security 

and when we went through, literally a few

minutes later it felt like someone with bucket of water

poured it over our heads. The wind was blowing and

I was trying to get my poncho on.

I had one guy holding my blanket and the other

guy trying to put my poncho on me,

to only have my head stuck.

Obviously the bomber jacket and my fashion

went down the tubes quickly.

Nonetheless we had a great time, went out for some

southern bbq and then watched the 

thunderbirds show off they're skills.

I'd love to say I'll be back next year, but they don't come

around every year, we found out it's every three years.

So if I'm around, I'm thinking I'll give the air show another go.

Sunny Side Up

Memorial day weekend found me in sunny southern California visiting my dear friend Leyah in San Diego

with a dabble of Los Angeles for a day.

Some great highlights of the trip:

Weird man on beach serenading me in Espanol. Santana's. My first baseball game--go Padres.

5k on the beach barefoot. Pancake breakfast while watching surfers. 8 hour day on beach. Venice beach.

Garlic knots. Muscle beach freaks. Butting in line to pee{just about peed my pants}--thank you kind people.

LA temple. Malibu Pier. Shrek 3. Amazing spinach cheesy eggs.

I love get-aways where 3 days feel like a week and you come back to the daily grind refreshed & rejuvenated.
