Weekend Update

I guess it is finally time to update you all on my fabulous weekend!
My weekend started out with dinner with my parents and Jenny on Friday night. It was fun despite the slow service, I was with good company and it made all the difference. Jenny decided I was cool enough to spend her Friday night with me and I was so excited. She ventured with me to "The IMPROVables" where we met up with Shannon and her cousins. It was fun to have Jenny there... Jenny spent the night and the next morning the girls all met up for Shannon's Birthday! One of my favorite birthday activities is to go to breakfast. We met at my personal favorite breakfast eatery: Market Street Grill...
All my sister's were so nice to come and even Josh joined us. Josh fell in love with Shannon on our last venture to St. George and he wanted to get his part of the birthday action with her...
I got to spend the rest of the day with my Mom. We gave blood, watched a movie, and she was even nice enough to help me finish up my cute new quilt (started over 3 years ago in Logan, yeah, I was on top of it)... The birthday festivities started up again when I met up with Shannon and some of her friends at Settebello's (one of the best Italian pizza places, and anything Italian is right up Shannon's alley)...
The night took an interesting turn when some of Shannon's friend suggested going to the institute dance that night. Sounds fun right? We thought so too until we gathered a little bit more information... it was a dance for 25-30 year olds, cool huh? We weren't quite sure what we thought but we were up for the adventure...
This was my attempt to look a bit more mature and more within the designated age group, it works right? I acted even more mature during the dance whenever a slow song came on, I booked it to the ladies room, great way to meet guys huh? These creepy guys weren't really worth meeting...
Regardless of the activity, I did have a ton of fun getting to know these girls...

The rest of my weekend included a nice relaxing Sunday: 5 hour church (included visiting teaching, temple recommend interview, and a VT interview), caught up on some TV, and topped it all off with ward prayer.

It was a wonderful weekend and I loved all the time I got to spend with so many of my favorite people! This next weekend is shaping up to be a good one as well: St. George on Friday, California on Saturday and Sunday. Who isn't up for a little spontaneous adventure?

First of all, (and I say this everytime) you are a freaking babe! I love that blue shirt on you, and you looked so "pretty" at Market Street Sat. morning.

Love your hang-out day with Mom. She's the best, isn't she? You guys were quite productive little bees. That blanket is SO cute! Blankets are the best. And so are you!

PS - Love that we got to share a part of Shannon's b-day. Thanks for the invite!
