Camping in the Desert....NOT!

Jessica, Danielle, and I went to meet up with Heidi (who now lives in Gilbert) to go camping. It was a spur of the moment decision (the best kind, let's be real!) and whilst packing all of us kept screaming to each others rooms, "Wait! what are you bringing? What' the weather gonna be like in Phoenix tonight?" We all decided to bring one sweater that we'd probably leave in the car and some grubby camp clothes. Phhhhhh, let me just state: It is very difficult for me to find casual clothes in my closet. I don't know why I hate wearing just a t-shirt and jeans, but I seriously struggle. It took all my strength not to pack any jewelry (besides what I was wearing, of course...along with my jeans and BYU t-shirt....it still looked good). We get Heidi, a lil' Wendy's (their nuggets know what's up!) and we were off! TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER we were like, "Where the heck are we?! We've been driving almost 5 hours!! I don't think we're in Phoenix anymore." Then I look out the window and in the dark see white patches in the forests around us. "Is that snow? Oh my gosh...everyone feel the windows." It was freezing. The next sign said, "Strawberry" and I felt like I was back in Jr. High on the way to a basketball game....in STRAWBERRY! We decided because of our efforts, Heavenly Father was going to bless one of us with our future husband that night. I volunteered to take one for the team.

Anyway, it was REALLY fun! We got there around 10pm, the Bishop skits were at 11, and the dance was from 11:30-1am!!! Haha, the next morning blaring music started at 7:30. They had a zip line, archery, and definitely some good food! It was sooo nice to just chill out in nature with friends and meet new ones! Definitely a good time. The drive back seemed faster, but maybe it was because I was asleep for almost half of it....
