Our First Weekend Home

This weekend Chris and I didn't have to travel anywhere. We had the weekend off of meets; until Chris decided to go to a meet at Weber State on Saturday.

Saturday morning we woke up and left early to get to the track meet early. Unfortunately, we got lost on the way. Chris had printed off directions from the Weber State website; but the directions were to the Weber State Davis campus in Layton. So after driving around for a while, and stopping to ask for directions we found the right place. But we did get to see the Ogden Mason Temple on our excursion in the wrong direction.

Chris jumped really well. He had some great attempts at 5.37 meters, which is the height he needed to clear to go to Nationals. He did not clear it, but was very close. He was able to adjust and get some things figured out, so this next weekend at Conference he will be able to clear the height.
After the meet we went out to lunch (thanks to some saved up per diem from previous track meets) at the Red Iguana in Salt Lake. We've wanted to go for a while, but we weren't too impressed with it.

Then we went to the Salt Lake Temple. It was the first time we've done a live session. The Salt Lake Temple is a beautiful, fun, old Temple. Now we are one Temple closer to reaching our goal of attending every Temple in Utah.


After the Temple we stopped by Ikea to make some returns and pick up a few, fun things. Chris is very excited about the new mini spatula we got.

As we left Ikea, we received some great news... Nate was accepted into the BYU Counseling Psychology Ph.D. program!! We are so excited for him and Laurie.
So we finished our long day off with BYU Creamery Ice Cream at my parent's house to celebrate with Nate and Laurie.
