I just got back from such a fun little girls trip! My sister Amy and my niece Jayde invited me to go down to St. George with them. Jayde is a senior in high school and is deciding between Dixie State or Utah State. I was DETERMINED to show her a good time this weekend so she could see why I loved being a Rebel so much.
Friday night we checked out some student housing. I was so excited to take her back to good old Rebel Creek Ridge (which has since changed to Red Rock Ridge Student Housing?). Anyway, it brought back so many fun memories!! I miss that place and that time in my life. August of 2006, me and my five best friends packed an entire trailer and headed down to St. George to begin a new chapter in life. I learned more in those years than I had in my entire life. I couldn't wait to show Jayde around! I was just hoping she could see a glimpse into this special little town so she'd choose to go to Dixie!
Saturday morning we woke up and headed to Dixie rock for a hike. No better way to start your morning!
I made sure to show them 'the crack'. I said to Jayde- Look, if you end up going to Dixie I can garantee you will do this in the middle of the night- pitch black- with a bunch of guys you just met. So- you better do it today so you know what you're getting yourself into!
Little did I know that both Jayde and my sister Amy are extremely claustrophic haha I couldn't stop laughing as I watched them freak out the entire time hiking up the crack. They were brave, persevered, and made it up safely. So proud of them!
We ate at bear paw, toured Dixie State's campus, did some shopping, and then hit the pool. Man I miss St. George.
That night we all went to dinner and then saw Warm Bodies. I'm on a bit of a zombie kick lately so I of course loved the movie. My favorite part of this entire trip was just spending time with these two. EVERYTIME we're together we always laugh until it hurts. I just love having girl time with them. (We definitely missed the rest of the girls in the family though).

We packed as much as we could into that short weekend and I'm going to call it a success because Jayde is now 100% going to Dixie State. (Before the trip she was only at 80% so I would like to take the credit for that last 20%, okay?).
I missed missed missed my little family so much. The boys were troopers and toughed it out this weekend alone. Who would have guessed but they survived without me!?! I had such a fun weekend with the girls but I couldn't wait to make it home to my sweet little family.
