Catching Our Breaths

What have you done this last week? My family was here visiting this week. Besides the things mentioned on our list above, one or more of the members of our household have done the following:

toured the LDS Church History Museum, top to bottom

toured Temple Square (including the South and North Visitors Centers)

toured the Conference Center

visited Bridal Veil Falls (twice)

played at the Lehi City public pool (twice)

drove to Layton to visit family

watched Up in 3-D at the movie theater

attended a week-long writer's conference

won a drawing

2 baseball games

blew bubbles at Art Dye Park

got sick spinning at Discovery Park

attended a book signing in which I may or may not have been referred to as a BFF by a favorite author

It has been one of the busiest and most fun weeks in memory. This post probably should have a voice-over here saying:

This week has been made possible by the kind and forever fun-loving Helen Melzer.

Thanks, Mom for being you. Even if you did leave an unopened bottle of Organic, Raw, Apple Cider Vinegar in my fridge. I was sad to see you go, headed back for sunnier skies. It rained here again today (and yesterday). I am definitely rethinking my dream of living in the Pacific Northwest. I think Micah said it best, right after you drove away.
