So last night, Bill told me he had a surprise for me tomorrow and to be ready by 9:45! He KNOWS how much I HATE surprises and I worried what it could be. I tried to get it out of him, but he would NOT budge!!! So this morning I was ready. We got into the car and he pulled around to the front of the hotel and said, "Ok, we're here!" and I'm like, "What??!!" And then I look over and see Sherri (Gunnell) Rogers and Stephenie (Green) Cooper in the lobby of the hotel with the biggest grins on their faces. Bill had gotten in contact with Sherri to surprise me today and we got to spend the entire day together! It was so much fun! First we went to a really nice spa in Pleasant Grove to get pedicures and then we drove up to Sundance for lunch at The Foundry restaurant. We visited the entire time in both places and then they had to close the restaurant, so we went outside and visited for a few more HOURS! Then we got some pictures when we realized the sun was going down. Then we drove back down to Provo and decided to go to the stadium and get a picture with the cougar out in front of the stadium. We found some picnic benches and talked for quite a while longer. We migrated back to the hotel and talked in the car in the front entry area for another couple of HOURS!!! We were having such a fun time catching up and talking about everything from trials we are experiencing to our gospel perspectives and testimonies to how we feel about being moms, etc. We mentioned how our relationship is like Alma and the sons of Mosiah when they met after their missions and were still brethren in the Lord. We expressed gratitude for the fact that we were still such good friends, but more importantly still active in the church and strong in the gospel! We decided we need to meet somewhere for a weekend and just visit and catch up each year. We want to make sure Jill (Johnson) Hymas is invited-- Steph was cute-- she even wanted to make T-shirts! And I'm like YES!! I see women posting all the time about girls' weekends-- AND THEY GET T-SHIRTS!! Today we laughed together, we cried together and we so enjoyed just picking up where we left off like no time had passed! (We figured it had been over 10 years since the last time we were all together! We vowed to not let it go so long next time and to make sure we included Jill next time. (She lives in CA.) It was such a fun day-- I didn't get into the hotel room until 12:30-- Bill was fast asleep. I couldn't fall asleep because I just couldn't stop smiling and even laughing about all the fun we had today! What good friends I have to just take off for the day to spend it with me!!!
