st. george getaway

Me&Ry spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in St. George with some of our best friends. We met up with Karly and James, Nicole and Blair and Dani Bree and Daron. We all used to live just steps away from each other. Unfortunately growing up, graduating and new jobs have spread our besties all over. We figured Thanksgiving would be the perfect time to get together for a few days.

We absolutely love St. George! Luckily Nicole and Blair live in this adorable city so we get to visit a lot. We woke up Saturday morning to the most gorgeous sunny weather. That was the perfect way to start off the weekend. While we waited for the rest of the group to arrive, a few of us explored the famous red rocks.






Nicole took us to "fat man's misery."
I think it should be renamed "claustrophobic girl's misery."






"Fat man's" is a teeeeny tiny crack between two rocks where you can only scoot through sideways. I was truly terrified to go in. I took two steps into the crack and freaked out. I didn't think I could make it. I have never felt so cramped, stressed and claustrophobic. Nicole and Karly convinced me that I could make it through and Nicole even held my hand the entire way. Let me say it was the biggest adrenaline rush! There were some spots where the rocks were pressing up against my back and chest and I barely scraped by.

This hike was so much fun! Although Ry tried to go in, only the girls could fit through. It made us feel pretty good that we are way skinnier than our husbands!  :)



 The rest of the weekend was filled with lots of catching up, yummy food and lounging around the Staples' gorgeous house.

Dinner at Pasta Factory



We spent a lot of time in the hot tub looking out at this incredible view.


It was extremely hard to say goodbye to our friends. We always have the best time when we're together. Thanks for the incredible weekend! We love you all so much. Can't wait until next time!
