Race for the Cure


I love Temple Square in the Spring. I'm glad we made it downtown this weekend to get a glimpse of the beautiful tulips. They last for such a short time, but are sooo gorgeous! My ward Relief Society ran the Race for the Cure today! It was such a fun experience and very cool to be around so many people who are cancer survivors. We had about 10 girls from the ward show up. It was great!

Afterward Meghan, Sara, and I walked around downtown. We went to the new Deseret Book, took pictures of the tulips, went up to the observation deck of the Church Office Building and went to another bookstore before riding the tracks back home. The view from the top of the Church Office Building is incredible. What a way to see the city!

Fun in St. George

We went to the beautiful St. George Temple and visited the Visitor's Center there and walked around a little. It was gorgeous! Also, a little shout out to my parents, today is their 32nd Wedding Anniversary!! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! I love you!!

Next, we took a tour of Brigham Young's winter home.

And the last stop on our Church History tour was the home of Jacob Hamblin. I really enjoyed learning about his life of service to the Lord and how influencial he was in working with the Indians. According to my roommate, a lot of the stories are not factual and the Church has been doing a lot to get the story straight. I'm interested in finding out how much of what I learned is actually true.
My Aunt Debbie is really into Pickleball and I hadn't played since I was in Middle School. It was just as fun as I remembered. Now all I need to do is find out if they have Pickleball courts in Salt Lake.

What a great weekend!!
