My best friend, Sarah, came to town this weekend for some girly fun. Her husband was enjoying a visit from his brother, and she decided to escape and come up to Flagstaff. She hadn’t been at my apartment for over a year and a half and we hadn’t spent any non-wedding time together since last April. I wish I could express in words how awesome it was to see her or how much it meant for us to just be ourselves together. It was such a major event that I even cleaned my house! With Fabulouso! Sarah arrived around noon on Saturday, and we grabbed lunch at Little Thai Kitchen with Aaron. Then we came back to the house and watched Woody Allen’s Scoop. What a cute movie! Then there was a short marathon of America’s Next Top Model and dinner with Zac at IHop. IHop was seriously out of control. Zac and Sarah together meant that countless Laurel stories would be told. I can’t honestly remember the last time I laughed that hard. I was sure I was gonna choke on my pancakes….

Then it was John time. From the Grammy’s to everything else she hadn’t seen or heard, we bathed in the sounds of Mr. Mayer. The music of our favorite singer became the soundtrack to 5 hours of catching up. From dating, to marriage, to our jobs and having kids… we approached each topic with momentary singing outbursts. Finally at 3:45 am our eyes could no longer be held open and we crashed for the night. The next day we did a lil shopping and swapped new musical favorites before she went home. All in all it was an amazing weekend!
