weekend review

enjoy this picture until g.ma sends me all of hers. i didn't even break out my camera this weekend because g.ma is so good at capturing it all.

please excuse the sunday morning post's absence this past sunday.

mom, dad, and g.ma were here.

here's a brief summary of what we did.

{i have neither the time nor words to describe how fun and how needed it was.}

friday:

*{teaching}

*tour of my humble abode

*macaroni grill

*driving tour of byu/provo {for g.ma}

*little shopping {thanks, g.ma}

*early bed for g.ma

*sleepover with mom and dad

saturday:

*early rise to run 15 miles--most i've ever done. enjoyed every second of it. really. and erin enjoyed hers too.

*g.ma saw an add for village inn in the hotel book and really wanted to go there for breakfast. and when g.ma has an idea, she's going to do it! it's like an ihop or denny's. my omelette was good, so no complaints.

*drove up the canyon to park city

*saw people ice fishing, g.ma wanted to get out {it was snowing, but not blizzarding}. we took some pictures and g.ma started throwing snow balls. love her.

*stopped in heber city because g.ma wanted to look at an open house for some condos we drove by. heber city? how many people live there? oh well, i love going to open houses, and so does g.ma. and mom. and dad. but they weren't open.

*made it to park city. it snowed the entire time. and it was so beautiful. checked out all the shops on old main street. including the jewelers--that was fun.

*hit up the outlets. {again, thanks g.ma}. probably, no definitely a good thing j.crew outlet is 45 minutes away. too much temptation. and not enough money. which means, coveting.

*back to provo.

*mimi's cafe. it had been since village inn. minus the 3 apples and cliff bar i ate during the drives. {15 miles and no lunch? no bueno. and poor, poor planning on my part}

*early bedtime

sunday:

*salt lake for music and the spoken word. all of us loved it.

*went to Sacrament meeting in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building [used to be the Hotel Utah. absolutely gorgeous.]

*just so happened to attend Elder Ballard's ward. uh, cool. and yes, got to shake his hand afterward. there's something about shaking an Apostle of the Lord's hand. i've had the opportunity at least 5 times now. i just pray their Spirit will pour into me or some how get into my body through osmosis when our hands are in contact. and it just makes me want to be a better person.

*food

*tour of the Conference Center--that's my 3rd time going on a tour and like my 10th time in it--amazed every time

*leisure time at the hotel. crossword puzzles, byu.tv, nap, snacks, chats, phonics lesson practice

*bed. well, back to my apt in attempt to go to bed.

monday:

*farewell before teaching. sad.

*a few tears were shed.

*until marathon in june {unless someone wants to fly me out after finals april 21st! and hire someone to move my stuff.}

now back to life.

of course that was way longer than i intended. but i am not a woman of few words. and i type super fast. so two and two together, it's too much.
