One of my must-do items while in Utah this time was to visit the newly rededicated Ogden temple. It was gorgeous!
Jaime went with me, along with Whitney Ehlers. Whitney picked me up early and we did initiatories then met Jaime for the endowment session after she got off work. Afterwards, we met our friend Jayne Smalley Weaver for dinner at a restaurant nearby. They're such fun girls.
The next day I got my hair colored then Jaime and I headed down to Elk Ridge to have dinner with our friends from my Omni days. Everyone's older and has significant others and children now. Things change...for some. :)

Jaime, Aubrey and Erik Johnson, and Lauren Johns.
Derrick Williams, me, Tanner and Angela Farrer, with Aubrey's baby Lia. While you may think my glasses look fashionable in this photo, I was really just wearing them because my contact bugged me the entire time I was in Utah. Boo.
Erik and Bundle Baby Tess.
That night Jaime and I spent the night at Aubrey's, then visited our friend Leah Van Wagenen Jesperson for breakfast at her house the next morning. Leah was in the MTC with us and is married now with two little girls who are adorable. We had such a great time hanging out with them and catching up with her. No pictures, though.
Jaime and I then had lunch and she dropped me off at the mall to hang out while she went to a soccer game and I waited for Aubrey and Angela. I occupied myself by reading my scriptures, napping, and shopping. No problem. :) Aubrey and Angela met me at the mall and then we went to dinner at Pizza Factory. Also no pictures of that. I love those girls so much. I feel like it's a lot harder to make those soulmate kind of friends after college, and it's pretty unfortunate that all of mine live in Utah.
Saturday night I spent the night at Hailey's house then went to church with her and hung out with her and her roommates that afternoon, until I went up to my aunt JaNel's for a family game night and dinner. My favorite part of the night was snuggling Baby Elliot. So, so cute.
I'm so glad we got to spend some time with you while you were here! We had a lot of fun with you, and YOUR faith is inspiring to ME. So there you go.
