Flashback ten years ago...we were chilling in Hawaii, just beginning a life long friendship. We thought we were so old and independent then. We look like little babies! This is us in Maui for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure we hitch hiked to this restaurant. Who wouldn't pick up these two hotties?
This is us at the famous Matsumoto's shaved ice shack...again, I'm pretty sure we hitch hiked here.
Flash forward to 2008...still hot and workin' it! This time we have a car.
Dara flew out for the week and we had a fabulous time, of course. Nothing has changed, yet everything has changed. I feel like we haven't changed a bit in 10 years but our lives have taken some interesting twists and turns. Who knew when those pictures were taken 10 years ago that I would be married for nine years with two kids? The thing that touches me the most is seeing my kids with Auntie Dara! It's always an adventure when Dara comes to town. She was thrust into life with children and I'm sure it was a bit of a culture shock. Here are some highlights from the trip.
Dara looks just like a mom in this picture. We went to the Dinosaur Museum on the worst possible day, $2 Tuesdays. I'm pretty sure everyone in Utah County was there. We went to a sweet 3D Imax show, had some dino nuggets, and called it a day.
Tender moments with Dara and the kiddies. We went to the Legacy Center Pool one day and surprisingly enough, no closures due to poop in the pool. Dara and Hank really enjoyed the lazy river.
Randy said we were being too serious in the previous photo so we had to flash our signature peace out homie sign.
We went out to eat one night at Trio in Salt Lake and I had the best salmon of my life. The atmosphere was great and so was the food. Thanks to Nicole for watching the kiddies. 
Sisters!
Mom and Dara--so sweet, I think they really bonded on this trip. I feel bad that mom and dad's Harley trip was cut short but it made it possible for Dara to spend some quality time with them.In addition to the above photo's I took her to Target, Ikea, Harmons, Cheesecake Factory, Shade, and I made her buy "Twilight", so I think she had the total Utah experience. She doesn't have a blog yet, but I'm trying to convince her to join the dark side.
Dara, I miss you already, my love! I know we will see each other soon and I'm sure we will talk in about four hours. I'm already planning our next adventure... I'm thinking Cali? Thank you for being my best friend all these years...many more to come.
