Best Friend Weekend

This past weekend, a little piece of home came to visit me.  It was exactly what I needed. In other words this past weekend, my best friend in the whole wide world, Leah came to visit me.  I hadn't seen her live in person in 8 months!!!  8 very long, miserable months! Our time was short, but we sure made the best of it.  We went to the zoo/Jurassic Park. Where we wrestled T-Rex, hung out with koalas, over fed a giraffe and laughed almost nonstop.  We also took more selfies than I can count.  Thanks for being so photogenic, Dallas Zoo animals.  We drove through downtown Dalla and of course stopped at Sprinkles, where they were able to accommodate Leah's gluten allergy with two different cupcakes. We then went to a mall and hung out basically in the candy shop from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, where we got enough samples that actually buying candy felt unnecessary. We of course hit up the Disney store, where we got friendship Olaf hula dancers, for our cars. Leah enlightened me on her dreams of wanting to have table side guacamole, so I of course made all of her dreams come true and took her to my favorite Mexican restaurant. After that, we headed back to the apartment where we ditched Cody and watched my favorite movie About Time.  (Seriously if you haven't seen it yet, rent it!!)

If this doesn't make you say "aww", you have no soul

Sunday we lounged around for a while. I made banana pudding for the first time.  After that we went to a different mall where we spent a ton of time just browsing each of the stores.  We yet again hit up the Disney Store, where they just so happened to be having a fantastic sale!!  After the mall, Leah joined the Myers clan for Easter dinner, where she got to meet Cody's family for the first time.  We ate and chatted a lot, then it was time to go.  We headed back to the apartment where Leah finished packing and we talked. Mostly about how she should stay forever and ever. Then the time came to give her back to Utah. I hope all you Utahns enjoy her...or else!!

I had such a fantastic time and it was much too short.  I'm so glad I got a whole 24 hours with my best friend. Thank you for coming Leah!!!
