Some trees in the forest surrounding our cabin

Well here I am again. Sitting on my bed, reminiscing about another perfect weekend. This weekend was "Fall Break", so I was rewarded with an extended weekend to spend with family and friends. I started the weekend out on Wednesday night, and headed up to Cedar City, to pay my friends at Juniper Motel a visit...

Wednesday night was pretty great, but not so epic. My friends at SUU didn't have a fall break, so it was a regular school night for them. However, "regular school night" doesn't really account for much at SUU. After I checked in with my buds, I was introduced to some more great people (ie. Kenyon, Carly, and Shane). We just relaxed for a bit, had our traditional "Quick!-Everyone-Jump-on-Rakul's-bed-while-listening-to-The-Ready-Set's-Love-Like-Woe-song-before-she-comes-back" jump-a-thon, then headed out on a night walk to Taco Bell. Rakul and I walked ahead of the pack and talked about pointless things like shallow ditches and leaves. Once there, Rakul bought me a chicken quesadilla and I returned the favor by buying hot chocolate and ice-cream(genius combo) at Maverick. The rest of the evening went off without a hitch, and everyone just enjoyed eachother's company. Pearl and some others built a fort in Katy's room while we lounged around in the commons area. Later I found Francisco playing Pokemon (big shock), and then even played a round of it myself. I have to admit, I loved it. Then Rakul, Pearl, Scott, Francisco, and I sat around in Katy's room while Nick and Scott discussed his surprise for Katy Friday Night (He made her a true T-Bird). That's pretty much it for Juniper. We hit the lights and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, no one else would get up, so I quietly slipped out (after falling on the floor) and set sail for Moab.

I spent the next few days reunited with my family. We rented a huge cabin (more like a house) up in Lasal, which is just past Moab City. The place was beautiful. Our cabin was quietly secluded in the mountains, surrounded by a forest of flaming oak trees. At night, the place looked even more astounding, as the stars punctured the sky with glimmering light. The big dipper was perfectly suspended above the mountain's peak, and the moon hung crooked to the side. To top it off, the surrounding fields were filled with deer that seemed to be enjoying the view as much as we were. Inside the cabin, we were busy having fun. It seemed as through every meal was a feast (at least to me, the poor college student). We enjoyed each other's company by watching movies, playing games, and just sitting around talking. We also had a lot of fun outside of the cabin. Our days consisted of 4-wheeling around the red rock canyons, hiking up to Delicate Arch, and spending time in town. Needless to say, I loved every minute of it. It was great to see my family, cousins, and grandparents. 

Well, like all good things, this weekend had to come to an end. The thing I hate most about vacations is the packing and unpacking. Which is what I am faced with now. I better unpack my things before it gets too late. As I drove back to St. Geezy, I was greeted by warm rain. I'm not complaining, because St. George is even better in the rain. It's good to be home. Hope you had a great weekend yourselves. Keep it classy. Splat!
