::A little St. Louis in Utah::

Well, our best friends Josh and his fiance Danielle came into to town this weekend for a visit from St. Louis. We miss them so much, we have not seen them since our wedding one year ago. They are getting married on October 17, 2009 and we can't be more excited for them. It was so good and nice to see them and have them stay with us this past weekend.

They came in late Thursday night so there wasn't much going on that night. They went to a wedding on Friday and when they got home we played some dance dance revolution and rock band on the Wii. Such a great Friday night.

On Saturday we drove up to Park City because we wanted to ride the Alpine slide, well we got up there and it was raining in Park City so the slide was on a rain delay, we waited about an hour before they opened the slide and the new Alpine Coaster. We started on the Alpine coaster and it was so much fun. We then got in the HUGE line for the slide, we waiting 30 minutes and got up to the very front of the line and what happens ... yep you guessed it, it rained again and we couldn't go on the slide, then we realized that I-80, the way home from Park City, closed at 4 pm and it was 4:05, so we hit gaurdsmans pass and drove the dirt road home. It was a fun adventure to say the least. We then had Josh experience his first demolition derby and it was so great to see him get so excited, who would have thought that some crashing cars would get a guy going. We then ventured out to Greenstreet for a friend's birthday party. All in all Saturday was super busy but so much fun at the same time. It was fun to share those experiences with Josh and Dani as none of us had ever done the Alpine slide or coaster before.

Sunday Jeremy and I took Marley to Memory Grove and he had so much playing with other dogs and in the little river there. We then tried to go to the Red Iguana for dinner, for those of you that don't know about this restaurant it is THE best mexican restaurant in the world. We weren't able to eat there because at 8:30 on a Sunday night in Utah there was an hour and a half wait ... what, it's Sunday in Utah people aren't supposed to be eating out. Oh well we ended up and Red Rock with the best wings ever.

Well, it's Monday and Josh and Dani just left our house, it was so sad to see them go because we never know when we will see them again as Dani is finishing up her third year at SLU law school and Josh works crazy manager hours at the OSF. They say they will be here in December so I will keep you all posted.

We already miss you guys and want you to come back really soon (Jeremy and I will also try to save money to come visit you!!!)
