My roommate and I decided a few weeks ago that, weather permitting, we were going to make the world's fastest trip to Utah and back. Welp, weather permitted! :) And we were off!
We spent 20 hours driving, 6 hours sleeping, and the other 23 crammed packed full of fun!
- We woke up early Saturday morning (after getting to Utah at 1am) to go running and watch the sunrise. We ran about 15 steps up a very steep hill and then resigned to walk to rest! (the sad part - walking up it was still a workout). It ended up being an overcast day and the sunrise was nonexistent, but the view was still amazing!!
- We went to the Bountiful temple to do baptisms. That is such a beautiful temple!!! It was so good to be back inside the temple! I didn't get to go to a temple last month and I missed it!
- I went to this sweet girl's baptism. She looked so beautiful in her white jumpsuit and the baptism was so neat! I'm so glad I got to go and be there for this special day in her life! I am proud of her for making this big decision and being so reverent about it.
- I went to a luncheon afterwards with her entire family and got to spend lots of time with all of them. It was SO fun to see them and just be with them!! The time I had with them FLEW by and I have decided once again that I hate saying goodbye!
- Cami and I drove down to Salt Lake and went and did baptisms at the Salt Lake Temple. This is something I had on my bucket list so it was so exciting to finally go! It was packed and we had very little time there but it was so gorgeous! As I admired all the woodwork and finite details inside, I couldn't help but think of all those who put everything into making it such a beautiful place in the late 1800's. WOW!
- I also got to do a drive-by look of the Mt. Timpanogos temple (looks a lot like the Bountiful temple) and the Provo temple! - Yes, four temples in ONE day!!
- For dinner, Chase took me to Tucano's for dinner. It was AMAZING! And, you would be proud - I finally tried Sushi... and chicken heart, and plenty of other things I never planned on eating. So fun! Thanks Chase!!
- Late Saturday night, I stayed up talking to Candace (a good friend from high school) all about life! It was so fun! Thanks for letting me crash at your place, Candace!
- Sunday morning we drove over to my cousin's house and I got to see Tiana and the family for a split second before we went to Sacrament meeting with them... and then drove the LONG drive home in order to be back for the CES fireside!
It was an awesome trip! I had so much fun seeing so many people that I haven't seen in awhile (some in many years)! It went so fast and it felt like an entire week packed into 49 hours!!
I am so glad I got to go! Thanks to all those who made it such a great weekend!
I am so blessed to have the world's greatest friends and family!!
