Falling for the weekend

This last weekend we got a spontaneous invitation to join my parents in Park City. Normally, I am not very spontaneous, but this weekend, we needed a break and we went running!

The drive up through Provo Canyon was absolutely breath-taking. Do yourself a favor and take someone(s) you love on that drive, its worth it. My parents were staying at the beautiful St. Regis in Park City. We chilled, we hiked, we shopped, we ate, and we finally got our pictures done.  It was such a great break from the go go go.

Mikey works for Vivint and they did an exclusive One Republic concert for employees on Saturday night. I don't have the words to do justice to the experience we had. One Republic was energizing, uplifting, fun, inspiring, and they are SO TALENTED. When the concert ended I didn't want to leave. It was honestly amazing.

We had a great weekend. Here is proof in pictures. One of these will most likely be a Christmas card, so spoiler alert.

Lots, of love,

Happiest Place On Earth

Mike and I had the opportunity to take a weekend trip to Disneyland.  Let me tell you, it was much needed and so so fun!  We are so grateful for my grandparents for letting us crash at their beautiful home!  We planned this trip a few months ago with some good friends.  In an effort to minimize costs and missing out on school and work we decided to leave Thursday night after work and classes at 7 pm and drive through the night to California and hit Disneyland Friday and Saturday and then drive home on Sunday.  Yes, we are crazy young kids!  It honestly ended up working out great!  and It was such a fun trip!!

We set a rule that at least two people had to be awake at all times.  The boys were kind enough to allow us girls to drive the first half of the trip and then sleep.  So Alex and I got to drive to Mesquite while the boys slept for a few hours and then we switched and the boys drove while we slept.  While the boys were driving, we almost ran out of gas in the middle of NOWHERE. It was a little alarming but we said a prayer and miraculously made it to the next town 7 miles away to get gas.  Seriously, it was a miracle!  But other than that, the trip went smoothly and was SO FUN!

It was my first time riding Radiator Springs in Cars Land and I LOVED it!  Disney always does such an amazing job.

My favorite rides are Hyperspace Mountain, Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and Its a Small World- Holiday edition.  I loved being there with my handsome hubby we had the best time!

awful picture quality because we snapped it off of the screen.. but its just too funny. 

poor Mike was SOAKED all night after we rode this... and it got cold that night. he was such a trooper!  And I was grateful for the excuse to snuggle!!

It was my first time seeing world of color and I loved it!  But the new parade was breath taking.  I felt like a little girl again.  I was so impressed with what they were able to accomplish with the parade! 

Disney's Christmas Decorations and spirit are always so cheerful!  It really got me excited for the holiday season! 

I love disneyland!  And I am so grateful my Mikey does as well! It was a weekend very well spent! 

lots of love,
