Girls Weekend in Salt Lake City

I absolutely adore these three girls! I have become good friends with them in the last year.  We all live by each other and used to be in the same ward before it split. We have wanted to do a girls weekend and stay over night in Salt Lake for a while and finally the first part of November we made it happen.  It was such a great time!

We left on Friday in the afternoon and went straight to IKEA to get it out of the way.  Of course we had got some awesome things and just had a great time looking without kids.  It was so nice to just walk around and look without worrying about a kid knocking something over!  After IKEA we went and checked into our hotel. We stayed at the City Creek Marriott which was so fun to be close to restaurants and shopping.  That night we went to dinner at Market Street Grill and had some amazing seafood. Again, it was so much fun to sit and eat without kids. We were able to talk and enjoy our meal!

Later that night we went back to our hotel room and stayed up way too late talking and laughing!  It is always so fun to get a really good hard laugh in and that happened on this trip. We also did something so fun on this trip and had it be our Christmas gifts to eachother.  We did a favorite things bag for each person and then wrote a note to that person with a few reasons why we love that person. It was so fun to see what the others put in their favorite things bags and also so fun to tell them what I love about each of them, but also to hear why people love me.  It was a self esteem booster that is for sure!!

BEFORE

The next morning we slept in and then got ready and had some breakfast at the Starbucks in our hotel and then ranging to Nordstrom and all got our makeup done at the MAC counter.  It was so much fun because it was nothing that I would go do on my own and also it was fun to get all dolled up in makeup that I normally don't wear.

AFTER

After our make up was done we went shopping and had lunch at Blue Lemon. We shopped until we could no longer take it and went to dinner at Red Rock! We had some awesome food while we were down there!  We stopped at Target on our way home and then called it a weekend!! It was such a great weekend and I am grateful for such awesome friends!  I love all three of them so much!!
