Today is Sunday, Easter Sunday even. We are having Heidi, Trevor, and Stephanie with her two little ones over for dinner. I've never done much with a crock pot, but decided to try out a recipe online for a roast. I hope it turns out all right. Hopefully we can have Sarah and Austin come down sometime soon.

Conference Weekend and Easter
We didn't have any big plans for the weekend. Just sitting around the house in our pajamas watching General Conference. It is always great to hear the messages of hope and faith.

Florida Friends Visit
Mark and Ginger came out to Utah for a few days and watch their daughter, Bailey, perform in the Nutcracker in Ogden. She didn't have a large role (it was her first time dancing with this company), but her performance was fantastic. She and her friend really stood out among all the dancers.
We ate dinner up in Ogden at a nice Italian Restaurant named Zucca Trattoria. We were really impressed with the food...but slightly disappointed by the service (think molasses).
Our friends didn't know anyone else out here so we had them over for Sunday dinner. The Salmon, Chicken, and Spaghetti Squash all turned out great! It was quite a bit of fun to reminisce about our Lake Powell vacation from the summer.

Sunday Dinner
We just had some friends and family over for Sunday dinner. My sister and her husband came down with our friends Dane and Bailey from Salt Lake City. I can't believe it took us two and a half months to finally get Bailey down here. We promised to have her over when we were down in Lake Powell, but it's hard when she doesn't have her own car. The food was great and the company too.
I'll be headed up to Seattle for a business trip in less than two weeks. That will be my first time back up that way since my mission farewell. I can't believe it's been more than 13 years. I'll have to take some pictures while up up there.
BYU was thumped in football this week by TCU. There's no other way to put it. We were outplayed in every facet of the game. Oh well, there's always next week.

Draper Temple Open House and so much more
Talk about a packed week. We printed Heather's invitations and announcements, went to the Draper Temple Open House, played volleyball, cleaned, cooked, met with the bishop to renew his annual recommendation to LDS Family Services, shopped for shoes, played basketball, went snowmobiling, stuffed all the invitations, addressed all the invitations, exercised, and and and... Ok, so Adrienne didn't play basketball or go snowmobiling and I didn't clean as much as she did, but the rest of it was all packed into three or four days.
The Draper Temple is beautiful. It's on the side of the "Point of the Mountain" (people in Utah will know the location) and it overlooks the Salt Lake Valley. I'll try to take pictures sometime when the sun is out to share with everyone, although with the storm coming this week and weddings on the horizon...it might be a while.
My co-worker, James, took me up snowmobiling Saturday morning. I took a few pictures, but I'm afraid it won't do justice to the experience. I'll post them later tonight. It was gorgeous up in the Timberlake area just past Heber. White snow and the sky cleared up by the middle of the day. My legs were pretty tired by the time we headed back. It's amazing what some people can do on those machines.
Sunday I visited 3 wards to see how their young mens' programs were going, then went with our ward choir to sing at a care facility in our neighborhood. They had us sing in the Alzheimer's wing. The patients had bright smiling faces and even sang along to songs that they remembered.
Later Sunday afternoon, Adrienne and I met with the Bishop of our ward to renew his letter of recommendation for us to adopt. There are only 3 forms that have to be renewed annually and this was one of them.
Finally, Sunday night we had dinner with Heidi, Trevor, and Stephanie (and even little Liberty). Will was still up at Camp Williams with his Marine company. After we ate we spent the rest of the night stuffing invitations, printing labels and addressing them for Heather and Nic. They had less than two weeks until their wedding, so we needed to do it all here instead of shipping it to Arizona for them to do. I don't think any of us realized the size of the project we had undertaken. 4 hours later we deliriously said good night. All that's left is for Adrienne to buy stamps in order to mail them and I will ship the extras to Heather in Arizona.

Fun Weekend
Another week has gone by. I can't believe how time flies. I helped put on our Stake BSA Court of Honor to recognize the Boy Scouts who earned awards in the last 6 months or so.
Our friend who usually let's us sit in the box with him for the BYU Football games had us sit in the Legacy seating instead this week. It was awesome being so close to the action. Our team beat UNLV in an exciting shootout. Then, later that night, we were able to get together with some friends to play volleyball.
Sunday Steph and Will brought their daughter Liberty over for dinner. Adrienne made Szechuan Steak and it was delicious. Steph made an Apple Crumble Pie that was so good I had two pieces.
We've made plans to visit our friends in St. George for Halloween weekend. It will be nice to take a mini-vacation and see some old friends. Not to mention, the weather is supposed to be GREAT!!! I'm bringing shorts and a swimsuit.

Crazy Busy
Wow, the week started slow enough, but we ended up crazy busy all weekend. Friday I took off early so that I could show my sister the way to the Oral Surgeon's office. She got her wisdom teeth removed. Her boyfriend and I hung out in the waiting room until she was done. One of her teeth was actually growing in sideways...weird! She's doing much better today.
Friday night we had some friends invite us up to a house they rented in Midway. The house was on the Homestead Golf Course, but it was too cold and windy to play. Instead of golf we played pool, watched a movie, talked, played cards, and ate some great food.
On Saturday, we headed back into Provo for BYU's Homecoming football game. On a cold day it was sure nice to be up in the box seats. The buffet was beef brisket with dutch oven potatoes (Yum!). BYU won 21-3. I thought BYU would score a lot more, but the game was exciting and well played on both sides.
Sunday was busy too. First there was OUR Ward...then I had to leave early to go to 3 other Wards to visit their priesthood meetings. I'm still getting used to having a Stake calling. We had Steph, Will, Liberty, Heidi, AND Trevor over for dinner. AND my sister decided she was feeling pretty good so she and her boyfriend stopped by after to hang out and watch a movie.
