WEDDING BELLS

I decided it was time to marry my best friend of 10 years...during a global pandemic. I thought it would be a small event with just us and family. I looked into getting a nice Airbnb house and using the yard. Their rules changed due to Covid-19. My next thought as more people were being invited was a small venue. Those were mostly closed due to Covid. We finally settled on the best and most beautiful venue -- Jordan Pines campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The spot was perfect and beautiful. It allowed for more guests to come and be socially distanced out in the open air.
With the help of my mother, we sent out invitations, made some decorations, got some nice outfits prepared, and then we did the thing! It started out raining all morning, tapered off in the afternoon, and became a spectacularly beautiful evening for the ceremony and small reception. Here are a few photos to recap the day.




























I love you, Brandon.

UTAH IN SPRING

I love my state.
 Utah's capitol building is fabulous any time of year.
Add cherry blossoms in Spring
 and you have a fabulous sight.
 Bring your camera because you will want to document the enchanting walk through the tunnel of trees.
You can also drive a few blocks to temple square and enjoy colorful tulips 
and other brilliant flowers as you walk around the Salt Lake Temple.
 Spring time in Utah has got the BLOOM BLOOM WOW!
PS My jewelry is from Alex and Ani #obsessed.

LDS GENERAL CONFERENCE

It's that semi-annual time of year when we head up to Salt Lake City, UT, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide General Conference.
 I had 3 tickets and invited my long-lost gal pals Aja and Michelle.
It was a great morning full of inspirational music, words, and great view of historic temple square across the street.

LANTERN FEST

What is the Lantern Fest? It is a an opportunity for thousands of cool people to join together to create an unforgettable display of light.
 Each attendee gets a kit with all the fixings for s'mores, tools to decorate your lantern, and an opportunity for great memories.
You can arrive early for an afternoon of live music, dancing, food trucks, kid's fun,

 and s'mores.
After the sun sets and the time is just right,
it is time to light the sky with lanterns.
The lanterns are supposed to represent our highest hopes, deepest regrets, and fondest dreams.

You are welcome to write on or decorate your lantern to represent those things.
Then after you light the lantern, 
you let it go and let it float away to the sky.
It is really a sight to behold.
 I have never experienced an event like this before, but I am sure this won't be the last time.
