Girls Getaway 2011

For my 22nd birthday I was given a one night stay at the Cottontree Inn in Sandy. A couple weeks ago Carissa, Becca, and I cashed in on this great gift! I didn't have a ride up to Sandy, so I took use Utah's public transportation system all by myself for the first time! The bus stopped in Sandy not far from the hotel. I got off at the Trax station three miles away and walked to the hotel. As I walked I realized I could have gotten off at a stop right across the street from the hotel. ha ha! It was a nice walk so I didn't mind.
I always have so much fun getting together with my cousins. We're all grown up and in different stages in our lives, but whenever we get together nothing's changed. We laugh just as hard, do silly ridiculous things, and have a great time!

Some of the fun things we did . . .

Ate Chocolate from Cavanaugh's

Ate some delicious Italian food at Johnny Carino's

Went shopping at the mall and made a wish

Laid on the bed

Painted our nails

Went to the store in our pajamas (REBELS!)

Bought junk food to eat while we watched a movie

Swam and sat in the hot tub

Facials before bed

AND . . . . SLEPT!

I HATE BEING COLD!

I feel bad for this guy . . .

I woke up this morning at 5:45am to get ready for work. It's bad enough I have to wake up so early, but what makes it worse is that when I wake up I have to get out of my warm blankets. Then! I have to go outside, scrape my car, and wait outside my work until someone comes to unlock the door. . . I guess this goes to show how spoiled I am! I just get into such a terrible mood when I have goosebumps that won't go away.

On a more positive note . .
I'm so grateful to have heat in my home, my down blanket, and multiple jackets that can keep me warm and comfortable.

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL COUSIN BECCA!!!
