the end

this shouldn't surprise you but i am going to finish the trip to utah now. i think i left you at the river. we got back to payson and had to say goodbye to brant who was going back to san francisco. don't be too sad because you can still catch up on some of his adventures here. that night was glamour night!! we totally put on the ritz and did makeup and hair for our before and after glamour shots. they are funny but mostly a little too embarrassing to post anywhere on the internet. then we went to bed. there had been a lot of sun in our lives and we needed a rest. on thursday, we met for breakfast at magleby's fresh and had delicious french toast with delicious syrup. if you wanted a picture, picture all of us in the exact same clothes as seen here, with no makeup and no hair done and there you have it. after breakfast, we went to nakole's house and randi cut our hair and we all finally got ready for the day at around 4 or so. then randi and dani and kenz had to go and visit their other family and so we were bummed out. we went to dinner that night and missed our friends. on friday, we went shopping and to lunch. ADE AND EMILY!!! met us for lunch at cafe rio and then joined us for shopping which no one was really in the mood for. ade and em came to hang out at nakole's house where we were all suffering from giardia. maybe not but we felt crappy. that night we laid around and made a photo album and waited for our friends to come back but they took forever. they got back late late and so we hung out for a while and then went to bed because they had a plane to catch early in the a.m. so we said our sad farewells until next time which is probably so far in the future that it makes me a little sad. okay a lot sad. on saturday, my last day in utah, i hung out with elva deanne because i had hardly seen her ( sorry em and ade). we didn't do anything spectacular but it was still delightful to be with her. i love that little lady. mauri and nakole came over that night and we hung out all together for one last time. in the morning, it was off to the airport to head back to virginia. it was just the trip i needed. i am so lucky to have a great family and great friends whom i will be close to forever. i love that. thank you all for the fun.
