Vegas Birthdays

The weekend before our birthdays, Travis had a 4 day weekend. So we headed down to Vegas to celebrate. We had delicious Sushi with friends at Sushi Kaya in China town. We also went out with the fam to Outback and then yummy Nothing Bundt Cake and presents back at home. Unfortunately it rained the entire weekend so we didn't get out and do much outdoors. But Mindy got her and I a spa treatment so we went out to lunch and got our facials and massages. It was such a nice girls afternoon without the kiddos! So even though it was bad weather, it helps slow us down and we get to relax more. So it turned out to be a great weekend. Oh and I even got my new bed too! King size, memory foam. I was a little leary about the memory foam but was thrilled to get a king size bed. Turns out it took me over a month to be ok with the bed and it still isn't my favorite but I'm not complaining and it is really good on my back since memory foam helps align everything.

Old Friends

During one of Travis' hunts Dallen and I went up north to visit old friends. We usually don't have enough time to visit people so this trip was especially for getting together. I spent one girls night with Becca and Jocie. We just went out to dinner and talked for 3-4 hours. It was wonderful! It's amazing talking with old friends; you just feel like you can say anything and completely be yourself. They are like family. Another night I went to David Hurtado's house to visit his family. We served our missions together and became good friends there. I hadn't seen him since our mission and he made his way from Venezuela to Utah a few years ago. I've been meaning to get together with him for a long time so this visit was long over due. His wife made us traditional Venezuelan arepas and they told me their story about getting together and how they ended up in Utah. It was a great visit and Dallen and their little girl got along great. Hopefully I'll be able to do trips like this every year.
