I recently went on a week-long "Inspiration Trip" to Arizona and it was an AMAZING experience for many reasons! I was able to visit friends, I shopped, I relaxed, I stayed at a 5 STAR Resort, I ran up and down mountains...soooo rejuvenating! I am so thankful to my family, Bryan, my mama, my Auntie Mallory, Bryan's parents, and my kiddos, who all worked together to make it happen for me. I have only one regret...that I didn't blog in the evenings while I was there because I had the ability/technology to, and should have because then it would have been easier and fresher in my mind.
Anyway, this is just a small picture of the Arizona Grand Resort where I stayed. I was very fortunate to NOT have to pay for my stay, and if it weren't for that I would not have gotten to stay there at all! So, THANK YOU JANNY, for letting me tag along on your work trip and borrow the extra bed...(That was so comfortable it was hard to get out of!!) You are AWESOME!!! I am so eternally grateful!
And THANK YOU MATT AND KATIE, for letting me stay with them the night before Janny arrived so I could save $100 on my plane ticket!! Thank you for taking me to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Cave Creek, dinner at the BEST Mexican place EVER, letting me have creative license with Syd's shirt, Syd giving up her bed, and Matt for enlightening me on the TASER Gun!! Your little family is AWESOME!!
THANK YOU JoJo GIRL, who flew down from Boise to meet me, sent her husband golfing, and hung out with me for crazy adventures of getting lost, finding sheep, realizing "Lucy" was my doppleganger, forgetting to feed ourselves, (but after finally feeding herself promptly threw my portion of sandwich on the ground...LOL!) backwards drive-thru's, and finding oooooodles of ribbon and flowers the size of my head!!
THANK YOU ROY, JoJo's lovely husband, for using his golf clubs to get me oranges and grapefruit from the trees because I was so excited to not only see fresh citrus fruit ON a tree in real life, but eat it fresh too!!
THANK YOU CAROL WINGERT, who was gracious enough to pick me up from my hotel, take me to her FAVORITE places to shop, buy me an AMAZING brunch at her favorite breakfast place in Mesa, T.C. Eggington's, introduced me to SAS for more vintage trims/inspiration/and craziness than I could ever imagine, and inspiring me more than I ever thought possible!! She put up with all my silly giddiness and I truly adore her and her amazing talent and big heart!!
What AMAZING friends and family I have!! I am blessed beyond measure and the fact that all of the stars were aligned so that this trip was possible makes me soooo grateful!!
