4th of July

This weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. Shea, Scott and the girls came up and so did JayCee and Joni. I love having family around me over the holidays. On Friday, I got off work a little early(HALLELUAH), so Jon and I went to see "Grown Ups." It was a really funny show by the way. After, we got some dinner and ice cream and relaxed at home for the rest of the night. Saturday morning, I picked up Jace and Joni at the airport and we drove down to Provo to meet up with Kenz. We went to lunch, shopped, and chatted up a storm. After shopping, we went back and got ready for the Stadium of Fire with Carrie Underwood. I was so excited to see my gurl Car bear. Before the concert, we went to dinner at this mexican restaurant. The concert was soooooo freakin good! Carrie is amazing and the fireworks and the whole production was so well done! I don't know who is going to top my gurl Car bear next year. After the concert, we headed over to the Malt Shoppe for some ice cream. After a very long and fun day of girl time, I headed back up to SLC to spend the night with my better half (jon...obviously). On Sunday, we went to church and then Shea, Scott and the girls met us at our apartment. I was so excited to see them. They had been in Provo at Shea's friend Sarah's house. We all went to lunch and then back to our apartment for some serious relaxation before the big 4th of July dinner at my aunt Patti's. After some R&R we headed over to my aunt's to have dinner with Patti, Joni, Kenzi, Jace, Jordan, Chad, Garett, Terry and Dick. Patti made the best steak dinner I have ever had, as always. It was so good to visit with family and watch fireworks. On Monday, Jon, me, Scott, Shea and the girls had some lunch and went to Park City for some shopping. I love hanging out with the Villas. They are so easy going and always up for a good time. After Park City, we headed back to Patti's and did some serious R&R again, watched the Bachelorette, ate, and snacked all night. I was so annoyed that I had to go back to work and face reality again, but am grateful that I could spend this holiday with some of the fam! I LOVE THE 4TH OF JULY!!! And just a shout out to my dad and Zane who's birthdays were on the 4th and the 5th!!!
