Katie and Quinn!

This weekend was the BYU vs. USAFA football game. Normally I would have been like cool, whatever another football game. But this one was different because my friend Quinn from high school goes to USAFA and he is on the Drum and Bugle Team or line or whatever it is called so he was coming to the game. My friend Katie Fruehan was also coming up this weekend from AZ to hang out with us. Both of them got into Utah Friday afternoon/evening; Quinn at Hills Air Force Base around 5:30 and Katie at SLC around 7. So me and Kenzie took off Friday afternoon to head up to the base to pick up Quinn to give him a night of fun after 5 months of Air Force Academy.

aren't we oh so attractive :]

So we picked up this awesome guy at the base and headed down to the Salt Lake Airport. On the way to the airport, Quinn made some posters for Katie, because she had NO idea that he was going to be with us! She thought that we would only be able to see him for a few minutes at the football game, so it was a very pleasant surprise for her!

he got a juice box at McDonald's that he was very attached to!

After we had picked up our two friends we hadn't seen in forever, we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill in Salt Lake City. It was DELICIOUS!! And they kind of messed up our order a little bit so they gave was free chocolate cake which was to die for! Sooo yummy! Our waiter was also pretty funny....he looked a little out of it and when we asked him to take a picture of the four of us at dinner, his hands were shaking like crazy! He claimed that he had had one too many lattes, but I am not so convinced... :]

love this girl! i have missed her so much!

After dinner, Quinn wanted to put off going back to the base as long as possible, so we toured Salt Lake City and went to Temple Square! It was so much fun to spend some time with Quinn. USAFA has definately changed Quinn. In high school he was super goofy and always laughing, but when we first picked him up he was pretty quiet. As the night went on though he started going back to his old self, and for a little bit it felt just like high school again! When we did take him back to the base, I was allowed to drive onto the base because we had Quinn with us, so he got us on with his military id. Most nerve racking thing though driving on the base!! I drove like 20 mph the whole time and was super careful cause Quinn freaked me out about getting pulled over. It was so good to spend Friday night with him though!

the four gilbert kids!

Saturday was the day of the big game! We went to Magelby's Fresh with some other Mesquite friends for breakfast (all you can eat french toast + $5 = YUM!) As soon as we were done with breakfast we were able to go over to the Air Force tail gate party to see Quinn again. We hung out there for about an hour with him then it was off to the game!

katie, me, and alix at the freezing cold game!

i also got a cougartail at the game - biggest maple long john of my life!!

At half time we went over to see Quinn again with all of our friends from Mesquite and ended up standing over there most of the third quarter talking to him and some of his Air Force friends. This weekend has been amazing! Katie Fruehan is one of my bestest friends and I lov having her here with me for the weekend! Seeing Quinn was awesome too! I love seeing friends again and am so excited for this next week cause I get to go home for Thanksgiving and see everyone! I am so excited!
FRIENDS! :]
