... Land Where the Sun Rises and Sets ...

I spent the weekend in St. George. Jaren, Blake (Jaren's brother), and I drove down Friday night and got to the Sandberg's house around midnight. We sat up with Jeri Dell and Jay drinking chocolate milk and eating string cheese. The real adventures began the next day.

After the terrifying experience of meeting the best friend, we all started the day off with a nice little fishing trip. We caught one fish. We left.

I was given a tour of St. George and Washington as we picked up Jaren's cherry picker and welder.

We ate at Pasta Factory for lunch. I ate alot. Met another best friend. Didn't know what to think about him, but realized he really was cool.

Hung out at Brady's house watching nitro circus and listening to boys talking about football. I realize that I know absolutely nothing about football... Hence I was a quiet lump on a log most of the day. I guess that's what happens when a bunch of guys get together. Hopefully they didn't mind too much.

Then came the best part of the trip. The caves. We drove forever along a bumpy dirt road out to the Bloomington caves. We spent about an hour spelunking. It was dirty and wet and AWESOME. Definitely a favorite. Apparently it was a good thing I liked it because afterwards, I was informed that it was a cleverly crafted test to assess my level of girlyness. Apparently I'm not TOO girly... I passed.

The rest of the night was spent swimming, eating the daily dose of ice cream and watching a movie. :)

Church and lunch happened the next day, and the drive back ended up being a nice long conversation. We pulled back into Logan, not quite ready to start another week... but I guess since its semi warm here too now, its not so bad.

Thats all! :)

  3. Hi Callie, I hope you don't mind if I stalk your blog. It's my sisterly duty to check out the girl my little brother is dating :)

    I'm glad you guys had fun in St. George. After you guys left my mom called and said, "Hi Avree, I just love Callie!" I guess she doesn't beat around the bush. I'm sorry you had to talk football with Jaren's friends, just start calling him Uncle Rico and maybe it will discourage him.

  5. Hi Callie. I saw your comment on Avree's blog and thought I'd stalk you as well! I'm glad you had a fun time in St. George. When Jaren took Avree and me into those caves I actually ended up crying! We were TOTAL WUSSES and got mad at Jaren for even taking us there! I'm glad you were much tougher and passed the test!

  6. Hi Callie,
    I hope you don't mind an old aunt checking up on you - just have to say what a cutie you are!!!! And that guy looks pretty cute too. Spelunking - you are a much calmer person than I, obviously. I would have been freaking out! Can't wait to see you this summer.
