Weekend in Utah

We drove to UT Friday after work! We borrowed the Cromwell's excursion because we had to bring Jake's friends from his mission their boxes from their storage unit. We saw them on Saturday morning and we gave them their boxes and chatted with them for a while. Then we went to the Salt Lake City temple!! I've wanted to see a live session ever since I heard they do that! It was super cool. That temple is so gorgeous, I want a tour of the whole building! After the temple we changed and then picked up my brother Ben and his girlfriend Kaye. We went to a movie (Captain America. We were in the 2nd row and sitting that close makes me sick so I got nothing out of it. Jake loved it and says it's up there with Superman on his list.) and then we went out to eat at my FAVORITE restaurant The Cracker Barrel. It was great to meet Kaye, her and Ben are cute.

Here they are at Cracker Barrel in their matching blue shirts ;)

I wish we had pictures of us outside the temple but YEAH RIGHT!!! That has got to be the busiest temple ever. I also wish I got pics of us with his friends from St. Lucia (Sister D. and Dior) but I didn't even think about it until after we left.

On Sunday we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa Hathaway. I really like their ward. I even feel comfortable in Relief Society! A little bit of crazy lives in their ward but it's entertaining. After church we hung out with Grandma and Grandpa for a bit and ate with them. They gave us our first Christmas ornament!! It's soooo cute!

Before we went home we visited Destry at Hugh and Stephanie's house. They just got married and they are super sweet and cute and fun. They fed us yummy dinner and dessert, showed us pictures and videos of Logan, and gave us pumpkins! Which I've been wanting to go get from the store! And Steph's boys are so cute they LOVE Jake's duck voice, it's hilarious. I heart Destry so it was so good to see her!

Here are two pics we took:

P.S. Funny quote of the night from Jake talking to one of his single friends about getting a date to go to the basketball game, "Just ask a random girl on the street, like a contact!" Hahaha from one RM to the next, I guess.

What a cute ornament! I am so excited for you and Jake to start all your own traditions! Was it like Christmas early getting all your winter clothes? Haha! I love the SLC temple! (Of course, dad and I were married there!) I think I told you the first time I went Eve was like 149 years old and Adam was hot and young. So funny! Did you get french toast at the Cracker Barrell and then not eat all of the sides they served with it? I am glad that you were able to spend time with Ben and Kaye and have a fun weekend!

Love you SO MUCH,
momsy
