Surprise Getaway

I'm so grateful for good friends. Months ago we planned a girl's getaway to visit Jana in Vernal. The same group of us was over at her house helping her move and clean up, and as sad as we were to see her go we wanted something to look forward to. A couple of the girls thought it would be fun to surprise her and just show up on her doorstep. I think she liked our surprise! Vernal does not have a ton to offer in the winter months so there wasn't much to do, but it didn't matter. We just had a great time being together and being away. It was the first time that I had left Emilyn for that long, or overnight, but we both made it! We were only gone for about 24 hours, and 6 of them were driving. Nobody seemed to mind the ride though because the conversation was so entertaining. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time, and there were very few silent moments. We went to dinner after we picked Jana up, and then headed over to Joey's hotel. We had planned on going in the hot tub, but we just ended up talking until late. The next day we watched Jana's soccer game, went shopping, had lunch, and then it was time to head home. Thanks Kelly for driving, and thanks girls for a very memorable getaway!
