TOFW Boise, ID

I have officially moved past the pregnancy glow and into pregnancy puff and waddle phase.
But over the weekend I got to go on a girls trip to TOFW in Boise, the last hurrah before Kolt arrives, and it was so great!!
Friday, the morning of St. Patrick's Day, I picked up Ashley, Tedi and Katey and we headed to Idaho. The traveler's interstate oasis. Our first stop was Lava Hot Springs for lunch and a quick soak. We had lunch at 78th Main Street Eatery and where I had a burger and sweet potato fries. My favorite!
We discovered that we're each the oldest in our families, which makes it even more surprising how indecisive we all were! Haha Somehow we figured out where to go and what to do though.
Here I am 33 weeks pregnant. My hands hurt when I turn door knobs or use a pen and my feet get tingly and itchy when I stand too long, but 6 weeks left!....
After Lava Hot Springs we headed straight to Boise Convention Center for Friday night TOFW to hear Nathan Pacheco sing, then to dinner at Pie Hole Pizza.
All the food we found on this trip was so good! We wanted to try places unique to Boise and I ended up getting to eat almost all of my favorite things. 
Lunch on Saturday was at Boise Fry Co. Where I tried PURPLE sweet potatoes AND a waffle.
And for dinner we found the yummiest Mango Curry. Although a little spicy. Our waiter looked like Tom Hardy, but we actually called him Tom Cross cause his tattoo matched Ashley's cross bracelet.
We stopped at Trader Joe's for snacks and I got some Cookie Butter ice cream that we took back to the Air BnB to eat while we played Wacky 6.
TOFW that day was so good too! Artist Kate Lee spoke, Becky Proudfit, Jody Moore, Sistas in Zion, Melinda Brown and the Bonner Family were all there. I didn't realize that the theme was still Glorious Light, like when I went in September, but luckily only 1 of the presenters was the same. We got free lollipops again too!

Get spiritual stretch marks!

We woke up Sunday morning to drive home and made an impromptu stop to see Shoshone Falls. It was incredible!
I'm so glad I got to go on this trip with Ashley and Katey. We talked all about being in young women's together growing up and how much we loved it. Both of their moms were my YW leaders at one point and we always at so much fun at activities and camp and laurel retreats and trek. I'm so grateful for the good experiences I had that probably made it easier to build a testimony too.
Love you girls!
