uTaH!!!


Warning-this is long: So, Katie and I just got back from our whirlwind of a girl's weekend last night. We went to Utah to visit Jordan and to see "Twilight" at 12:20am at the Gateway theater in Salt Lake City. For anyone who wants to know, I thought the movie was FANTASTIC. The beginning is a bit hooky/slow, but oh, does it get better. I about died during the fight scene with James. It was so intense and I now can't wait to see the next one. They just announced this weekend that they will be filming New Moon beginning of 2009! (this is us at the movie, I don't know if you can see, but Katie has a very telling sign directly above her (it is a handicapped sign) So, back to Utah. We flew in Thursday night. Jordan picked us up and we went straight to CAFE RIO! It was just as good as I remembered it. (I went again Sat night) We dropped Caroline and Addy off at the in-laws and headed for the Marriott to get ready for the movie. Our room was on the 15th floor and we faced the Temple, which was gorgeous, as always. We also had a newly renovated room with a balcony and a sliding glass door nearly impossible to open. All 3 of us tried to open the thing and finally had to call the front desk to send someone up. This guy came in, and opened it with one arm. We are such wusses. It was hilarious at the time though. We then headed to the movie and did not get back to the hotel until about 3am. You would think after being up for almost 24 hours, we would have gone straight to bed, but no, we stayed up for another hour raving/gushing about the movie. You would have thought we were high on the heroine Edward talked about in the movie. It was a fun night, girls! The next day, we decided that we would head up to Park City for some good 'ol fashioned shopping. The weather was perfect! We hit Main Street, and while walking, ran into a lady walking a dog wearing the cutest jeans I had seen in a long time. We asked where she got them and she told us in a store in Redstone, down by the freeway. After we were done, we left Main St and headed for CJ Sports, the jean store. Took us a while to find it, but it was well worth it. Jordan bought one pair, and I got two. I couldn't pass them up, not at 20% off at least. Come to find out, these "special" jeans are sold at Buckle, of all places. But, we still paid less than if we got them at there. After Park City, we went to Chuck a Rama for dinner. I love their scones and honey butter! The rest of the night was spent relaxing in the hotel room and in the hot tub. Saturday I fianlly got to go see me bestest friend, Cindy Lue. I have not seen her for over 2 years and since that time, she has had 2 babies! David was just born last week. It was fun holding him and catching up with my Lue! That night was spent just like the night before. It was a great trip and many fond memories were made. Although, Katie, you never did take your bra down to the front desk. We will have to think of some other way for you to pay your debt ;)
