Carlucci's

When I first got to Utah in May, Ceptember and I went to grab a treat at Carlucci's in Salt Lake. It is a little cafe. Admittedly the prices were a bit up there but the food was good and it was a one time only treat. I had been craving cheesecake so that is what I got.


Ceptember came for her favorite. The fruit tart. Doesn't it look yummy?

Anyone know of a hidden treasure place(s) to eat.

Pebbles In My Pocket

This is the scrapbook store of scrapbook stores to me. I can remember going here before I reached my first set of double digits. They have all sorts of fun things. They also have stuff designed specifically for LDS people. I could spend hours in there store looking at all there cool ideas and merchandise. It will be hard to stay away while I live in Provo. For those of you who didn't know They have a blog. The blog tells about them but it also has some cute ideas.
Anyone know of other fun scrapbook stores in the Provo area?

I have always wanted to live in Utah. Now I get to. But lately Utah seems even better then it I thought it would be. Want to know why? Hope so because I want to tell you.

My grandparents are here.
My cousin Emily from Australia is going to school in Utah
Church related things are EVERYWHERE
My sister, her husband and their soon to be here baby boy are moving here in a week.
My Cousins Tressa and Mindy are here (maybe they will let me babysit some time).
I have lots of aunts, uncles and cousins here. Some very close by and others just a few hours away. (I haven't lived so close to family since I was in kindergarten)
My Aunt Kim and Uncle Roger from Australia are coming in October and I will be here for it. (I think we ought to go to General conference together since they will be here for it)

I could go on but I will leave it at that. I am so happy and excited and being all of those things makes me thankful too.

Birthday Trip

Last weekend, as a birthday gift from Garn and AJ, I got to go to Utah and visit Grandma and Grandpa. It is always wonderful to see them. They are wonderful people that laugh, love, give, are wise, active, fun and giving. They even love visitors they have never met before which gives an extra welcoming feeling to their home. Grandma is almost always cooking something good and grandpa is often busy in the backyard, watching football, the news, helping Grandma or going to get something he or Grandma needs.

Ohhh football!1 I FINELY got to go to a BYU football game. It was even a home game. Of course I loved it. Football is wonderful to watch. Its even better when it is your favorite team. To top it off the crowd was active, my seat was on the front row and... we won! Naturally I tried to take some pictures. They are not very good because my camera would not go very fast and I was to into the moment of things when they happened to remember to hit the button. All the same I still got some and yes they will be going in my scrapbook.

On Sunday I went to sacrament meeting with a friend. He likes a girl in his ward. Due to my teasing nature I asked him if I could scratch his back. For those of you who don't know, scratching someones back in singles ward is claiming territory. Naturally he said no. I got a good inside laugh out of it. After that I went to Priesthood in Jake's ward with my local family. Jake was being set apart as an elder. I felt very privileged to get to go. Afterwards the man leading the meeting had them all stand up as the ladies left. There are about 100 of them so it was a little weird but very cool that they would all be so respectful. After that we went to Grandpa's and Grandma's house to eat and hang out. It was wonderful to see everyone. Here are a few more pictures.
