living the merrill life: Roomie Retreat

Last week I went down to St. George with my cute college roommates from 19 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long! It was so fun to see everyone and get together. Jodie, Trish, Cathryn and I all live in the Salt Lake area, but Jen, Kristin, and Lori all flew in. It was amazing that we were all there together. It's the first get-together that we've had all of us. Jen flew into Salt Lake and we picked her up and the 5 of us drove down. We got there Friday evening and shopped while we waited for Kristin and Lori to drive up from the Las Vegas airport. They were a little delayed so they didn't get in until late. We had so much fun chatting and catching up. Then on Saturday we went hiking, shopping, movies, and food, of course. It was pretty funny - we were at lunch and ran into one of Jodie's boyfriends from college, Mark Brousseau. It was fun to see him and pretty ironic that we'd run into him when we were all together. We headed back home Sunday morning, so it was a quick trip, but it was so great to see my old friends. I treasure their friendship!
