This week my best childhood friend Whitney was in town from Kentucky. I haven't seen her in over a year, so we made a date out of it. All of us got together and went for dinner at California pizza kitchen. Seriously guys, I think I'm the only one who doesn't get pizza when we go there. They have this garlic cream fettuccine that is to die for. So delicious. Anyway, we laughed and talked, we ate. We shopped around the mall for a little while, then decided it was time for cheesecake. California Pizza skimped out on the bread when we asked for it, so we decided we needed the "chocolate bread" from Cheesecake factory. Basically we ate so much bread, the cheesecake was put on the back burner. Bummer. Whit also creeped on this blogger she loves "house of smiths." I apparently don't Pinterest enough to know who she is. I then attempted to shove whipped cream in her mouth, and speared her in the face. We were all peeing from laughter as blood dripped down Whitney's face.It was a really fun night, and I'm sad we don't all get together more. Why can't things stay the same way in life as they were in high school? Life was so much easier back then.

We also "tried" (keyword here being tried) to go to the lake last week. It's been rainstorm after rainstorm here in SLC for the past 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, we need the water, but it really puts a damper on all of our summer activities that we are trying to do. I lasted about 10 minutes with sand blowing in my eyes, and the ominous clouds that looked full of lightning potential before I said I was done. We ended up at El Pollo Loco for some little tacos which was probably the reason my night wasn't a total ruin.

^^ Clouds coming in ^^

^^ Nothing better than a wet dog ^^

^^ Tacos al carbon aka Little tacos ^^

Have you guys ever been to JCW's? Seriously....cheese fries. I dream about how good they are. I made a little date night out of it, and we shoved our faces with the best burgers and cheese fries in town. It took all I had not to order a shake afterward. Although, it is a breeding group for every kid in Utah country I swear. It's always packed. 

^^ Hungry and done with me taking pictures ^^

^^ Cheese fries....I died ^^

Lastly, we went on a run right after my JCW run. Amber pulled me out that night for a long run that ended up around 7 miles. Guys, seriously...the next day I slept for like 13 hours. It was really fun though, and I'm seriously grateful for someone to run with and kick my butt into gear. We were running this trail that we thought we would just turn around when we reached mile 3 or 4 and head back to our car. By the time we reached mile 4 it was SO dark. We started freaking ourselves out by telling each other what we would do if someone tried to abduct us. By the time we started sprinting out of fear, we decided to head to the road and finish up there. It sounds like a disaster, but it was a lot of fun. Except the part where I will state again...Seriously couldn't walk the next day.
