Librarian Life

Sometimes, this is my life at the library.

A Spoonful of Sugar

This last weekend Justin and I were able to go on a mini vacation for the weekend and we had a blast! Here is the play by play.

Thursday:
When Justin got home from work on Thursday morning we hurried and finished packing/cleaning/preparing, dropped Zorro off at my parents house, and hit the road. It is a bloody long drive, but this time we didn't have any AC in the car, so it seemed especially long this time around. We stopped in Nephi for some lunch and then drove straight to Beaver Dam. My grandparents have a second home in Beaver Dam that they just bought and they were kind enough to let us stay there. It doesn't get much better than free lodging! When we got to the house we had a look around (this was our first time seeing their new crib) and then we drove the 8 miles to Mesquite to do some grocery shopping, get gas, and grab some dinner. We ate Little Ceasars while watching a movie and then we crashed- we were both exhausted. Being in the car for six hours in the heat kind of wipes you out.

Friday:
Friday morning we grabbed some breakfast and hit the pool. Justin isn't as big of a fan as the sun and swimming as I am, so it was nice of him to be such a good sport and allow me some pool/tanning time. It felt amazing. I have always been a fish and absolutely loved the water but when you are pregnant swimming is like a million times better. It just feels sooooo good on my heavy, tired out, prego body. After a few hours in the sun we headed home, made some lunch, and then showered and got ready for the Tuacahn. This last Christmas I got some money and I decided that I wanted to spend it on tickets to Marry Poppins at the Tuacahn theater in St. George. This was the fourth play that I have been to and each time I go I fall even more in love with this outdoor theater. Seriously, if you have never been, put it on your bucket list! Everyone needs to experience this amazingness at least once in their lifetime! The show was wonderful of course. My favorite musical number was by far "Step In Time". They had fireworks going off, the dancing was amazing, and there was a part where Burt was tap dancing upside down! It really was incredible. After the play we drove home, had a bowl of ice cream, and went to bed.

Saturday:
On Saturday we did absolutely nothing. Really. We did nothing. And it felt great. Justin and I both took naps that day. We ate a ton of junk food. Watched some movies and TV. I sat out in the sun for a while. Basically we were just lazy bums who vegged out. It was super relaxing and nice to unwind.

Sunday:
On Sunday we cleaned the house, packed up, and hit the road again. We stopped in St. George for some lunch where I proceeded to change from nice clothes to hobo clothes because I was so dang hot already. The drive home was way worse than the drive there. The temperature got up to 102 degrees and I literally felt like I was baking in hell. It was probably the longest most miserable car ride of my life. But its alright cause we had a good weekend and it was totally worth it. On the way home we stopped in Fruit Heights to pick up Zorro and visit my parents. They were kind enough to feed us dinner and it was fun to chat with them for a bit. We didn't get back to Logan until about 10:00 that night which was kind of a bummer seeing as Justin had to be to work at midnight. I don't know how he did it, he is such a trooper!

All in all it was a great long weekend and we had so much fun. It is nice to get out of Cache Valley sometimes but it really is nice being home and in my own bed again. Another great thing about coming home was being able to get back to work on Monday. How many people can say that?! I really do miss my coworkers when I leave and I always really look forward to seeing them again. One of my coworkers, and I hope she doesn't mind we writing this, told me how much she missed me and that she absolutely hates it when I am gone. Not gonna lie, it kind of made my whole day. It's super nice to be missed ya know? I just love my coworkers and I LOVE MY JOB!!!
