when life gives you lemons....

....you make lemonade. {or something like that.}

this past weekend i did just that.

it was originally meet the parents weekend in st. george.

let's just say that didn't happen. {nor is it going to, the joys of dating.}



i had my bag packed.

in my car.

my weekend blacked out.

i went back and forth.

back and forth deciding if i really wanted to make the trip solo.

more back and forth.

then finally, i decided no more thinking, just going.

45 minutes later i was on the road.

{by myself.}

i arrived in st. george around 10:00 to a completely empty, quite house.

heaven.

i watched the news, jay lenno, and jimmy falon then headed off to bed.

saturday morning i woke up, complete and utter silence.

i thought to myself, "i don't have anyone to keep happy today other than myself. what shall i do?"

i ran to the store to get some trashy magazines and a cold diet coke then hit the pool....

after a few hours by the pool i decided to clean up and go shopping.

i ran to a couple of stores.

grabbed some dinner.

where i wanted. when i wanted.

is it so selfish i LOVED not having to work around anyone else?

i rented a couple redboxes.

watched one of them, decided i wanted a treat, so what did i do?

i went and got a treat.

i got home watched two more movies. so lazy, i know.

called it a night.

i woke up at 11, just in time to hit church.

people, it was worth it. most entertaining fast and testimony meeting to boot!

best part was the old couple behind me that didn't know how to whisper.

a woman after my own heart!

then it was back home....

it was one of the best weekends i've ever had.

travelling alone isn't such a bad deal.

just in time for things to go from bad to worse.

{that could be a blog post in and of its self.}

through the ups and downs of the past couple days i have been so thankful for the good, and i mean good, people i have in my life.

europe is next up! thursday night. stand by.
