Lil Diamonds

So, Monday I got to see my Grandpa Fred and Grandma Joy for the first time in a year (almost to the date) They were on their yearly RV trip and were stopping in Salt Lake, so I went down to see them. I got there and we chatted for a while. Right after Grandma says hi she goes "you've lost weight". (that made me feel good about myself.) SO we chatted for awhile, they asked about school and jobs and stuff like that. I asked them about their road trip and stuff. Then Grandpa asks what i would like for dinner. My reply. Food. Grandpa-what kind of food? me- good food....my pickyness level has gone way down in the last year. (am i still kinda a picky eater, yeah. But not nearly as bad as i use to be.) Then grandma says "i know what Manda likes. she likes steak" which is a true statement. But steak is also expensive, so i wasn't going to ask. But then they start looking for a steak house in the area. We end up going to Diamond Lil's.
Diamond Lil's. Oh my goodness. I got a humongous slice of prime rib for dinner (and i might add i got the smallest size) IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!!!!! if i had died on the wya home i wouldn't have complained about my last meal. But the best part of diamond Lil's is the Bathrooms...Whoever came up with the idea is slightly brilliant.
So after we ate we went and drove around Salt Lake city a little bit (grandma and Grandpa use to live there) then back to the RV, chat a little bit more and then i head out just as the sun starts to go down.
I wish i could see grandma and grandpa more often. But my car doesn't like to keep working and i don't have the gas money to drive to Arizona anyway. Someday i'll have the means, but until then i jsut enjoy the brief visits we get to have with each other.
