A much needed weekend.

Life has finally calmed down a bit, and we were all able to sneak away to St. George for a much needed weekend of relaxing. We got to St. George Friday early evening. We were able to catch one of CC's softball games (she is on Gunnison's softball team). It was fun to watch, but the weather was cold. When we left Gunnison it was snowing, so not as bad as Gunnison but still cold. Not really short weather. I was able to get a hold of one of my best friends from high school Kelie Adams (Stanclift). We went to dinner with her and her husband and little girl Ariana. Then we went back to their new beautiful house. The kids had a great time playing together. It was so good to see Kelie, and it made me miss all the things about highschool.....so many fun memories!! That night we were able to meet up with Cody's cousin Kelsie and her fiance Brian. We met them at McDonalds and were able to chat for a bit. They are so cute and are a great couple. The next morning Cody took Payton and Rilee swimming. Payton had a blast, but Rilee clung to Cody really tight. She was pretty scared, not to mention it was kinda cold outside. After that we loaded up the car and decided to give our college friends Amber and James Davis a call. I felt kinda bad just dropping in, but we didn't really know out plans in advance. Once again it was a great visit. Our kids enjoyed playing with their kids, especially on their fun playground set. Amber was my roommate at college and James was cody's room mate. We did a lot with them at college. Again, it made me reminisce of college days. After the visit we got lunch then headed out to the ball fields for another softball game. This time it was a little warmer. Before heading home we decided to squeeze in one more visit. We visited Cody's cousin (2nd actually) Mark Neilson. It had been a long time since I had seen him, and I had never met his cute wife Jen. It was fun to get to know her a bit. We finally decided that we better head home. On the way home, we made it to about Beaver and it started to snow so hard. We went about 20 miles an hour the rest of the way home. It made for a long drive, but most importantly we made it home safely. It is always kind of nice to get home to your own bed after a little vacation, but it sure was fun to spend time with all of our friends.
