Powell Girls in Utah

If you've read my blog before then you know I love anything (and pretty much everything - minus the humidity) from Texas. Its the home of Whataburger, Dr. Pepper, Blue Bell ice cream and a lot of my favorite people. One of my favorite Texas families is the Powell family. They are literally the best.

This past October Colleen and the girls came out to visit. That's right, they came to Utah! It was da bomb. It was such a blast to show them around Utah Valley, even though I was a few months pregnant and still not feeling great. We hit up all my favorite places; J-Dawgs, Brigham Young University, Bridal Veil Falls, Sundance, Park City and several places around Salt Lake City. But of course my favorite part of their visit was all the time we spent laughing. Oh and Trinity's updates while reading War Horse. That girl.

Oh I do not miss being pregnant. But I do miss the Powells. Come back, please?



PS - this also happened the weekend they were in town (but it's a whole long story you'll have to get in person because the elk may have been confiscated).
