c.j.s nephew is getting married on the 19th in st. george, utah. i took a look at flights, found a sale on westjet, $89 each way. what a steal! we fly into las vegas on saturday, spend the week in vegas and st. george and come home on the 22nd. it's going to be great. i can't wait to see friends and family. i can't wait to spend some down time in st. george. i haven't spent any significant time there since i graduated from dixie college a million years ago. it's going to be good to reconnect with the town.
prepping for the trip has posed some challenges. c.j. is super swamped with work and deadlines so i am trying to get everything/everybody ready. i have been hitting the malls trying to find some thing for everyone to wear to the wedding. from holt renfrew to winners, no holds barred.
the other day i thought, "i want to find a searsucker suit for eli". it will be light weight and cool, perfect for the hot weather down there. but where to find one... i thought, "i am going to pop by a gymboree and ask if they have one kicking around their back-room from easter or something"... i had a clear picture of it in my mind. yup, that's what i am going to do. today i ended up at chinook center, rushing from place to place. i stopped at gymboree and looked at their sale rack. there it was, ONE GREY SEARSUCKER SUIT, SIZE 10. the jacket, pants and shorts. 80% off. how awesome is that? wait, how weird is that?!? i kept telling the lady i had a vision of finding this suit, she couldn't believe it. i got it home and tried it on eli. slightly too big... shoot how could this be??? it was meant to be!!! i called the store, they called around for me and located another jacket and pants at crossiron mills and placed it on hold. it was a true searsucker miracle. got it home, tried it on eli. perfect fit, perfect, perfect, perfect. watch out st. george, he's gunna look good.
i finally found an outfit for myself after wading through endless stores and racks and racks of sleeveless, too short, see-through, cut-out, strappy, skanky dresses that occupy 99% of women's stores these days. what a frustrating experience. where is the modesty people?? sheesh.
now i just need to tear c.j. away from his computer for 5 minutes so he can find a suit and we'll be ready to go! it's going to be hot and fun!
