This weekend Jason and I were able to escape to my parents' cabin near Brianhead Ski Resort in Southern Utah. We wanted some much needed alone time away from work, school and other obligations we seem to find ourselves in on a constant basis. A few months ago I purchased Colbie Callait concert tickets for her performance at Tuachan Amphitheater for Friday night so we decided to make a weekend of it and stay at the cabin to watch General Conference. Friday afternoon we drove to St. George, UT and had dinner at the Pizza Factory before we went to the concert. Colbie has such an amazing voice - just like how she sounds on the CD. I am always so envious of people with that talent.
Saturday we woke up late and watched the morning session of conference and then went to get lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in Cedar City . . . The Pastry Pub. If you are ever going through Cedar City we highly recommend their salads and sandwiches. After lunch we walked around Southern Utah University's campus remembering "the good ol' days" and laughing about all the fun times we had at school. We then drove back to the cabin and relaxed while we watched the afternoon conference session. After dinner we watched about 10 episodes and 30 Rock and drank soda and ate candy until we wanted to throw up.
Sunday we watched more General Conference, sat around in our pajamas and ate more candy and soda until we were both laying on the floor laughing and once again feeling sick. I always love hearing from our Prophet and General Authorities on Conference weekend. It is such a spiritual boost and renews my goals to be a better person.
The weekend was so much fun and it was so nice to be away from real life. Here are a few pictures from the weekend:
This is the outside view of the cabin and the picture below is the family room where we sat around in our pjs and ate candy until we puked.
My cute Jason always knows how to make me laugh.
We did cook dinner Saturday night . . . I guess that was one time we didn't eat candy for a meal. :)
