Visitors Galore

I've been having some good fun these last couple of months with all my visitors from out of state. First off there was Jesse Blosser who came in from Pennsylvania (though I more often think of him as a Virginia native).

Jesse visited back in March, but I never got around to blogging about it. We had a good two and a half day visit. I still can't believe we fit into our schedule all that we did.

We managed to see a good bit of downtown Salt Lake City, tour Temple Square, have a long conversation with a complete stranger about the LDS Church, have several meals with my close friends, take a drive out into the country side, and a bunch of other filler stuff. Let's just say it was a long two and a half days, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Here's some pictures of our adventures. This picture is of Jesse out on a frozen lake. We went for a drive through Provo Canyon and couldn't resist getting out for a little walk when we came to this lake. The thing was frozen pretty good so we went a good ways out. We even got to watch a man do ice fishing out on the lake. As you can tell it's lovely out in the Utah countryside. I'm definitely going to miss the beautiful nature of Utah when I return to Virginia this October.






Don't ask me what Jesse is looking at in this picture on the left. What I can tell you though is where we were at when this picture was taken. We were enjoying a great breakfast at one of my new favorite restaurants in town, the Artist's Palate. It's a great little place that is owned and ran by a cute retired couple, Henry and Vivian. I love going to this place for breakfast (though I don't have the time to do it that often). They certainly make the best omelettes there.

Okay, now I'm going to throw in an odd ball picture that has become on of my favorites. This next picture was taken on Easter Sunday, when several of my good church friends came over for a special lunch. From left to right these guys are, Fo, Jake, and Tommy. Hands down these guys are my absolute favorite guy pals here in Salt Lake City. Hey and aren't I the lucky one to have such three handsome friends :)

I know girls, this is the moment when you can tell me how jealous you are of me!!

And last but not least of my visitors was my very own Mom. She came out to visit shortly after Easter and we had a very good time. Mostly we spent our time window shopping (one of my Mom's most favorite activities. We also checked out Temple Square, parks and did some driving in the countryside.

I could show you all kinds of pictures from our trip, but I am sort of limited on time here at the moment. I'll just leave you with this lovely picture of my Mom. Enjoy!!!
