Pretend Spring Break?

3/26-3/29
So as many people know, and hate, BYU does not have a Spring Break. It is nice that we get out so early, but it makes for a long few months without any breaks. One of our friends was getting married in Las Vegas so we decided to take a long weekend and make the trip down- it was such a fun weekend.

We left Thursday night around 7 and made our first stop at IN N OUT in St George. We meant to take a picture but I guess the food was just too good that it was gone before the thought crossed our minds again. We got to Vegas late that night, and were in bed quickly after.

Friday morning we went over to Sam's aunt Cydni's house and she did our hair. Mine was needing it pretty badly so it was quite the treat. It was fun to go over there and see her cute kids and get to know her better. Thanks Cyd!
That night we went to Matthew's baseball game, where all the people from Las Vegas were talking about how cold it was- while Sam and I were very content in the mid 50s weather.. Guess we've lived in Utah too long. We went out to Mexican food after (which was also quite the experience :)

Saturday morning Sam, Dani, and I ran a 5k. It was a lot smaller than the Rex Lee run we did a few weeks ago but it was a lot of fun.

Did I mention it was before 8am?

So Sam, being the amazing runner she is got 1st place in our age group and I was pretty proud to get 4th, considering there was a cross country team that happened to be in our age group. Dani was the only one in her age group but she was still the champion getting 1st as well :)

When we got home we made some breakfast, put our swim suits on and headed straight to the pool. The sun was amazing. I forget how much I miss just laying out when its warm outside and just relaxing. I think we also forgot that we had NO base tan so needless to say, after 6 hours out in the sun- we were a little toasty. Oh well, its better than pasty white!

That night was Tori's wedding reception. Tori was Sam's roommate in the dorms and we all became really good friends. I cant believe she is married but I am soo excited for her. She looked beautiful and the reception was amazing- from the food to the decorations.

Congratulations Tori!!
