girls weekend with the college roomies

i had the best college roommates at BYU. We had an absolute blast. It's been 10 years since we met in David John Hall and we're still great friends.




We actually see each other quite often but it's been 5 years since all four of us have been together. Laurel Plewe & Laurel Walker came to Vegas for the weekend to visit me and Trish and we had a great time. Laurel P. brought her baby boy, Justin so it was great to meet him! He's only a month younger than Ryan so it was fun to see the two little chunksters together next to little miss Emmy (trisha's 1-month old daughter).



Our girls weekend consisted of lots of eating out, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, swimming, laying on a raft in the pool & endless conversations and laughter. We managed to enjoy some toddler-free time but Justin & Ryan were our sidekicks for the weekend. Overall, they did great. LW was able to come without her kiddos so it was so nice to have an extra set of hands to help!





a few things about our weekend:

- laurel w. made her famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. oh, i've missed those.

- all you need is a box of fruit loops to keep the laurel's happy for breakfast.

- nate has a major crush on the laurel's. when I asked him if he liked my friends, he got a cute little smile and said, "yes, they are really cute."

- i love having a diet coke buddy around (laurel walker).

- we got a babysitter for justin & ryan so we could sit on a raft in the pool in peace.

- we consumed a lot of yummy food.

- by Sunday afternoon - we were exhausted and we all took a nice Sunday afternoon nap.

- a big thanks to my mom and Wes for keeping Nate occupied as much as possible. Wes took Nate to Toy Story 3 (his first real movie theater experience) and he loved it.

- nate really liked justin. And I think Justin really liked Nate - giving him lots of smiles!

It was a great weekend with three of my favorite people.

Can't wait to see all three of you again in April 2011 - to visit Laurel W. in New York - to celebrate all 4 of us turning the big 30.
