Camping With My Faves

     Update, Paul received a job in Salt Lake for  a company called Tanner LLC. He starts in January, yet, I have to teach school until June. Sadly we will live apart through the third trimester of my pregnancy. Anyway, I told him that before things got crazy and too cold outside, he HAD to take me camping again. I asked my best friend Lisa if she wanted to come camping and of course she was in!
     We didn't leave until way late in the evening. We were keeping our fingers crossed that even though we weren't getting there until 8 at night, our first come first serve campsite would still have a vacancy. We lucked out and were able to get a great spot at the Red Cliffs campsite. Lisa and I set up camp while Paul got the fire ready for us to cook our dinner, (yeah, we still hadn't had dinner by 8). When we finally ate, oh my, it was the best dinner I have had in a while. Maybe because I was STARVING, or maybe it was really just that good!
     We sat around the camp fire and talked quite a while. I gave into my nausea and tiredness and started to doze in and out of sleep. Paul and Lisa told me they had a very great discussion about the gospel. You can bet I was a little disappointed when I knew what I missed out on. But at the same time, it was sleep or nausea.
     My biggest worry about camping was that I would have to pee multiple times in the middle of the night, (blame it on the pregnancy). I lucked out. But you certainly know what the first thing I did in the morning was! Once we had breakfast and got all packed up we headed out to go on a hike.
     Our hike was little but fun. We pretty much just bush wacked our way to the top of a fun little overlook, (good thing it wasn't a very long hike or I might have died! I was out of breath so quickly). After hiking we went to St. George, went to the store quick and then had a delicious meal at brick oven. I love spending time with Paul and Lisa. They are basically the my bestest friends ever!
