Hello Girls its that time of year again. We have been planning girls weekend via facebook and email this year. It is coming to good ole Arizona this year. Where it all began. We are so excited to be having it again. It will be from thursday, June 7th-Sunday June 10th.  Amy is hooking us up with a sweet resort we'll be staying at. The only thing we have pre-planned is seeing Cirque De Soleil perform Kooza. We already have several of us committed to coming (Myself, Jenny, Amy, Rachel J., Karie, Katie, and Rachel M. just emailed too) and I am just opening it up again in case anyone would like to come and hadn't seen it on facebook yet. It is always such a fun experience every one of our girls trips I look forward to and cherish the memories made there. Love you amazing women.

Hello, is anyone there? I haven't checked the blog for a long, long time. It looks like Girl's weekend was a blast. I am hoping that this summer is the summer I get to come along. Things have changed for us. We didn't end up in Virginia. Jason got a last minute job offer for Pawleys Island, SC. We live by the beach and couldn't be happier. Jason has been out of residency for a few months now and it feels great. Our kids both love their schools. I hope things are going well for all of you.

GIRLS WEEKEND RECAP!

I can't believe its taken me this long to update the blog with all the yummy details of Girls weekend, but alas, this Summer TOTALLY kicked my butt, the school year has been INSANELY crazy so far and though things are going well, I'm behind on just about everything! Ahh!

Anyway, here's the poem I did for the shirt. It'll give you the gist :)

Girls Weekend 2011

A weekend away

For the girls to play!

3 days in the hot Summer SUN!

We shopped ‘til we dropped

We danced and we pranced

We talked – it was WAY too much FUN!

To the Temple we went

And our morning was spent

Doing just what we knew we should.

It can be hard to get there

But as we’re all aware

When you finally do it feels good!

It was just our luck

When Amy lost her truck

In the garage at Gateway Mall.

That place is cursed…

But it wasn’t worse

Than the last time – involving the wall!

Just dance 2 for the Wii

Got us up on our feet

Dancing around like a geek!

No bra did she wear

But you should be aware,

It WAS national breastfeeding week!

At Tucano’s Grill

We partook our fill

Of delicious salads and meat.

The Meat Boys were nice

As they served us each slice

To our eyes THEY were the real treat!

The movie was stupid

But Jenny saw cupid

When Josh Groban appeared on screen

Delights we did pop from the cupcake shop

And then on to our Favorite things.

The Summer is pretty

In Salt Lake City.

And the six of us took it by storm!

The laughing the eating

Things we can’t be repeating

You know, pretty much the norm.

love, megan

Travel Plans

Hi Girls,

I was just looking at flights for Girls weekend has anyone else looked into it? I think I would want to book soon, the prices are starting to vary for some of the flights and I would like to get it while it is still low. I guess it might just be Jenny and I flying in, maybe you other ladies Amy and Katie are close enough to drive. Anyway just wondering what you all are thinking as it gets closer.

Housing Votes

Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great Easter, and Happy Mother's day in advance! Hope you feel lots of love on that day. We are so blessed to be mothers :)

So Katie and Jenny both commented on the below property. I agree it sounds great! I talked with some one about the property and for that weekend it is $225 per night. Grand total with cleaning fee and taxes is $ 982.98.

So split between a minimum of 5 people thats $196 per person.

http://www.vrbo.com/195372 It's 4bed 2 baths with spacious floor plan and private hot tub. It is in Murry right by I15.

Here is the same home via the company's main website. They have better pictures under the virtual tour section.

He also offered another property at $ 200 a night. It is 5 bedroom 2 bath right in downtown SL. It does list hot tub, but I don't see pictures and it is only mentioned once. I think it's a typo. I can check though.

If the above pricing is way too much, the cheapest I could find that might work was a condo for $100 a night. #3 Condo, also in Murray.

It has 2 bedrooms. One bedroom a has a queen and the second has a queen and some twin bunk beds. It also has wifi and video game consoles available.

http://utahsbestvacationrentals.com/view-property.php?propsq=38

I would be fine with the condo, I think it could work. The only problem I see is a single bathroom :) It might take ages for us all to get ready and get anywhere. But I would be willing to make it work.

It's your weekend and I want as many people to be able come and have plenty of money to spend on shopping not just housing :)

Let me know which you prefer #1 Murray home with hot tub, #2 Downtown SL home, or #3 condo. I will do my best to wheel and deal these guys down as far as I can.

As soon as I get at least 3 votes for one home (not including myself) I will reserve the home for our weekend.

So get to commenting! I want to hear from all of you :)

P.S. Amy haven't heard from you in a while. What do you think about the housing? Are you still going to make it? Hope so! Karie, Kami, Jenny C, what about you guys? last I knew you were maybes, what's the scoop? I would LOVE to see all of you :)
