Whirlwind Weekend of Fun!!

We had this past weekend off at our house job so we decided to hit the road. Saturday morning Kristin picked me up and we headed south. We got to stop by and see their lot in Brigham, they have a foundation & pipes!! It is all rather exciting, except that she'll be moving to Brigham even if it is only 30 minutes away I'll miss her :( When Kristin and I were roommates we regularly drove south to visit her dad or our friends down there, we have many great memories from these adventures, it was fun to relive it for a second... sorry no pictures from our drive had to focus on the road.
Kristin dropped me off in Salt Lake and I met up with one of my dear friends from High School, Kelli Buttars. It was great because I haven't seen Kelli since my wedding, she moved to California shortly after that but is now back in Utah. Kelli and I went and picked up Natalie Hess and we set off to find someplace to have lunch...we got slightly lost but had fun along the way. We had a fabulous lunch at Paradise Bakery, soup and such! Mark met us there and FINALLY got his Chipotle burrito, there was a restaurant across from the bakery so he was very excited. After a fabulous lunch we decided to do a little shopping, we started at World Market I love that store! Sadly Kelli had to leave after this :( she went off to cook a birthday dinner and Mark, Natalie and I set off for the Gateway. I am not usually a huge fan of that mall but all 3 of us found awesome deals and lots of cute clothes~
Saturday night Brittany and Justin (cousins) came up from Provo to play, we stayed at the La Quinta Inn, we ate pizza in our hotel room and goofed off (we are't the most mature adults) We tried to go for a relaxing soak in the hotel hot tub but it didn't really work due to; big scary men, over crowded but mostly the cholorine was so strong we felt like we were being poisoned.
Sunday morning we had the wonderful opportunity to attend Music and the Spoken Word the theme was Blessing through Trials (or something close to that). I just love this gospel!! Not only was the spirit so strong from the musical presentation but President Monson was there to make a special presentation making one of his life long friends who is a huge supporter of the choir and honorary member.... its amazing how ones spirit swells when seeing the prophet of the Lord. Justin and Brittany and to hurry back to there church meeting Provo to fulfill their callings so we hugged goodbye and they left. I tried to find Paul & Linda Bingham, a couple from my home ward serving a mission there, but they were in a meeting so I didn't get to see them this time. I am determined next time to see them. They helped raise me, I was so sad when I didn't get to see them. I have always wanted to see the top of the conference center so Mark and Natalie said we could go. The catch is you have to take a volunteer/missionary up with you. We decided to just do the whole tour, it was amazing, I am not telling anything but you should all go! The tour ended and it was time for us to head North, we dropped of Natalie and hit the road Northward!
We spent the rest of our day off playing in Weston... I love Weston. We picked Jessie up and took her with us for a day of good food and good family time. Enjoy the pictures below... I don't really know what to write about Weston I think the pictures express the fun we had better than my words can.
