when in Salt Lake

Lately, I've been taking every chance I have to spend time with my family. I think it's because I'm moving away soon, and it makes me sad to think I'll be 700 miles away from them. Or maybe because they're the only ones who see how weird I am, and they have no choice but to stick with me anyway! ;)

Whatever the reason, I had the most wonderful girls night last week! Krysti got tickets to the Women's Meeting, and all the girls went (except Meghan and Ellie, whom we dearly missed!). We even had a cousin, an aunt, and a grandma come too. 

Our first stop was The Garden in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. I had never been there, and it was so delicious! Such a fun atmosphere too, with the uncovered roof and the most delicious raspberry chicken salad and hot bread. Already dreaming of eating that bread again.

^^Such a fun atmosphere with the retractable open roof and the festive decorations.

And talk about a view out the window!

Then we took some pictures on the way to Women's Meeting. The weather was gorgeous, and I have some pretty photogenic family members, if I do say so myself. 

The Women's Meeting was wonderful. It left me feeling inspired to try a little harder to be a little better. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the evening:

"Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood and the home." Bonnie Oscarson

On the way home, we ran into some pretty epic traffic, which calls for one thing - a pretty epic car dance party! I sure love these women. Thank you Krysti for putting the evening together!
