Daytripper

On Saturday morning, we went to breakfast at Ihop before hitting the road to Manti.  On the way down, we listened to Christmas music (Josh Groban Holiday station on Pandora). The Manti Temple is so beautiful and I enjoyed learning about the history. Before leaving town, we stopped by a small town Pizza place that was delicious. It was a fantastic day with the Wiblers.. (Toblers+Witts=Wiblers).. J  

a welcome to the weekend

My weekend started 5 hours early today, thank goodness. :)
I'm looking forward to:

-going to the Salt Lake Temple
-being with family from Colorado
-photoshoots
-hiking
-a beautiful wedding
-a surprise date for Jared :)

I also have (a lot) of editing to do.. Fortunately, my desktop is being repaired as we speak and I can ditch my lovely laptop. I'm excited to turn on some music and edit my heart out! ;)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Temple Square

Chirstmas time isn't complete without a walk around Temple Square. We went with our friends, Alex and Chelsie. We drank hot chocolate in front of the temple while talking with the Sister Missionaries. After seeing all of the wonderful lights, we went to Costa Vida (it's not Cafe Rio but, it'll do..) and then went hot tubbing! I love hot tubbing in the snow. Chels and I were dared to do snow angels in our bathing suits and naturally, we couldn't say no. :)

I love to see

Something I love about my job is the view from my new office.
I love looking out the window to see three beautiful temples.

THREE temples! Yesterday I was thinking about how they are a reminder to me -of peace. I was also thinking about so many people across the world who would and do give everything just to see a temple once in their lifetime. And I see 3 everyday.

What. A. Blessing.

Smitten

The month of July+friends visiting = bliss.

One night, Whitney, ShayLee, and I went to Temple Square.

Jared was home studying.

While we were walking into the grounds, ShayLee started giggling uncontrollably and when we asked her repeatedly what she was giggling about.. this was her reply:

"I just saw a really cute missionary"

"Huh. You must really be smitten..."

We kept walking thinking Shay may attack this elder soon.

Suddenly I hear someone running behind me, I turn around to see that it is.. my husband.

He was being irresponsible and sneaky but, boy was I the smitten one after that..
