Temple Square Lights

This past Saturday Seth and I went down to Salt Lake with all our Carolina buddies~Will, Elizabeth, Joe, Gina and met some new Carolina folks Bobby and Lindsey.  We've been told the past two years that The Christmas lights on Temple Square were a MUST see while we were here.  Somehow last year came and went and we didn't make the time, so this year we were all set on going for this MUST see event.  We went down pretty early to get some shopping out of the way (which I wasn't able to find a thing), went to this delicis Thaifoone Restaurant, rode the public transportation (TRAX), and saw the lights on Temple Square.

Not sure what this building is but in the Temple area.

Salt Lake was packed out, bone chilling cold, beautiful, and entertaining :).  We enjoyed our time but I wouldn't tell anyone else it was a MUST see event-maybe during the weekday it's better, but there were too many people for my liking.  

Last weekend Seth went to a men's retreat in Southern Utah (Zion area) and I went with some girl friends to Park City for some Christmas shopping.  We both had a good time with the folks we were with.  Obviously Seth and I survived our second and third nights apart during our marriage-but it was a pretty tough time-especially for poor Seth :).  Anyhow, I got a good bit of Christmas shopping done-but we still have a few folks that need to be completed between now and Christmas.  While Seth and Jonathan were in Zion they were able to play a round of golf in a beautiful golf course that Seth thoroughly enjoyed.  Luckily he took some pretty pictures.

The days are flying by for us-but fortunately they are ticking down in a pleasant way.  In 9 days we will be cuddling up with my obese Troupster (maybe-if he can fit in the bed with us.  by the looks of it he'll have to sleep on the floor) in the LoveLy Southland :).

Seth and I have been playing Settler's of Catan every chance we get and are still loving it.  Ya'll folks who aren't aware of it should definitely look into the game and finding a couple to play with-consistently :).

Hope you all have a wonderful week and we are SOOO looking forward to seeing all our Southern family and friends SOOOOOONN!

9 Days :)
