one fine day: saturday in salt lake

i SHOULD be studying for my icelandic 101 test right now, but since i don't want to, i thought i would really quickly update this blog and tell about the perfectly wonderful weekend we had.

this is what we did on saturday:
-went to a session in the salt lake temple, which was amazing. it really was. there's so much happiness there. we got to see the sealing room where grandma and grandpa myres were sealed. unfortunately, we forgot our camera, so we had to make do with using tommy's cell phone to take a picture outside of the temple.



-watched the joseph smith movie (where i bawled my eyes out, of course)
-bought bagels at einstein bagels for lunch
-went and read on the grass at a park by the U of U for a few hours
-went to the U of U football game with tommy's family. we were probably the only people in the whole stadium NOT wearing red, and we were glad to escape without being questioned about where our true loyalties lay.
-celebrated tanner's and jolysa's birthdays at their joint birthday party in provo with dancing and funnel cakes.

it was a perfectly lovely day.

hiking mount timp at midnight

we were feeling a little bit crazy this weekend, and decided to hike to the top of mount timpanogos on friday night. we started at about 1:30, probably, and got up to the top by 6:00 a.m. to see the sun rise. we went with alec and grant, some myres cousins, and their friends tucker and rex.
was it worth it? it was beautiful, but it was RIDICULOUSLY hard and cold. let's just say it was a great life/BYU experience, and i don't know if we'll ever do it again.





afterwards we went to the cannon center for breakfast/lunch, courtesy of grant myres and his friend rex. thank goodness for dining plus dollars.
