never going to complain about going to Walmart again!

So here's a funny story..

Last Friday, I had an extra long day at school, and then an extra long day at work, with foresight of an EXTRA long working weekend. Needless to say, not so much of a happy camper here. When I got home from work, all I wanted to do was take a very long nap (and by nap I mean go to bed at 6 pm). So I asked Trevor to come take a nap with me. You probably don't know this about Trevor, but he is the worst nap taker ever. When I say nap, I think he registers it as lay down for 30 seconds and then it's time to get up and do something with our lives. So when I asked him to take a nap, this is exactly what happened. He laid down for 30 seconds and then got up because he decided we absolutely had to go to Walmart. What the heck? Exhausted+Walmart = worst disaster ever. So of course I was refusing to go. My sweet husband sat in the car for probably 30 minutes begging and trying to convince me that it was necessary to go to walmart, this whole time I was trying to imagine why on earth he wouldn't just go shopping by himself. 
So finally I got myself out of bed and went out to the car. The whole car ride I was pulling the silent treatment. When we got to the stop light where you can turn right and go to Walmart, Trevor went straight onto the freeway. As you can imagine, I was very confused. I was so tired and my brain wasn't up for processing things. Trevor had the cutest smile on his face and said, "Surprise! We're going to Zion for the weekend." I looked in the back seat and he had our bags all packed and everything. 
What a sweetheart!
And yes. You better believe I felt like the biggest brat on earth. 
This was just what I needed. We stayed in the Cable Mountain Lodge, and my whole family was there. Aunts/ Uncles and cousins. And we even got to eat at Oscars in the morning! Such a fun trip.
Breakfast. This picture does not do it justice. It actually kind of looks completely disgusting. But in reality, it is disgustingly good! It is gigantic but I could totally eat the whole thing by myself!! If you ever go to Oscar's you need to try out the Horseshoe
We got back from Zion in the early afternoon and decided to hike the Red Hills in St. George. This was one of my favorite things to do growing up, and this was where Trevor proposed to me so I was excited to show Trevor some of the places where we hike up there. 
There is a place on the Red Hills that my family calls "the narrows", who knows if that is really the name, but thats what we refer to it as. This little crack in the mountain is the narrows.
Trevor is brave and decided to try it out with me. This little slit in the Mountain is about 200 yds long and it is so thin it is about 1 foot in width. I hadn't gone through it in a few years, and sad to say I'm a little bigger now than I was then, so it was so hard to squish through there! Talk about claustrophobic! Trevor was afraid he was stuck for a second. It was pretty scary.
If you're ever at the Red Hills, you'll have to try it out!
At the end! Finally able to come out!
I was more scared to stand over it than to wedge my way through it!
Trevor is just the best!

I love St. George!!
