Everyone Needs a Girls Night Every Once in a While!

To start off this long weekend, I spent a blissful Friday evening with some of my favorite girls!! It was an eventful evening in Provo! The night began with what we thought would be an easy trip to a nearby complex with a hot-tub. Unfortunately to our surprise, despite the near freezing temperatures, it was covered, and frozen  underneath...So we went to FOUR other hot-tubs, all of which were closed!!! WHAAAT!?!??! We FINALLY found one that was open, and continued our "girls night" with two strange guys who were there, and then later were joined by two married couples...Ya. Interesting bunch. For some reason I get really nervous and weird around married couples that are my age/and or younger than me.

 I just get really uncomfortable for some reason haha. It was hilarious, these two guys were totally trying to work it with us, and inviting us over to their local luxurious King Henry apartment after for some Sprite or something, unfortunately we all declined haha. Kara is too nice and let one of them put his number in her phone. However, he called himself from her phone, (conveniently) so he now has her number haha. Love the joys of awkward encounters with strange guys in Provo hot-tubs!  Then we went to The Malt Shoppe to get some Peanut Butter Shakes, and got stuck in the Parking lot. We are in our wet swimsuits, (I dont have pants on!!) and these people come out and see three girls that are soaking wet, trying to push a volvo out of the rut on our way into the drive through! I'm sure it was quite the sight to see! We eventually made our way through the drive through, and made our way home. Upon our arrival, I came to the discovery that my pants had been shut in the door, and Im sure gave other people on the road a good laugh! A dance party to Kanye West was a great way to finish off the night and burn a few extra calories. Mattresses came our into the family room, and we watched P.S. I love you. Rather depressing, but I couldn't make a reliable recommendation considering I fell asleep 15 minutes in. Overall a successful, and well needed girls night after all :) I hope to not be having too many more of them though....Is it bad that I would like to do all of thos things with a boy? I dont think so.
