I spent a lot of money today, and it was so deliciously worth it ( Read more... )

Yesterday Fi had a visiting teaching meeting all morning, so Hazel and I took it easy until about noon. When Fi got home about noon, we headed out to the SLC Winter Market, which is being held at the historic Rio Grande train station every other Saturday throughout the winter.

Yesterday after church I went down to Ruth and Jordan's for our semi-monthly family dinner. I had offered to host, but since Jordan was only home from the weekend (flew in Friday, leaving Monday) Ruth asked if we could have dinner at their house instead. So I brought most of the ingredients down, and Elise and Paxton and I made dinner while Ruth ( Read more... )

It's Saturday morning, and I'm lying in bed typing this update on my iPhone, because aside from cleaning and grocery shopping and possible lunch with friends I have no obligations today, which means life is GRAND. Lazy Saturdays are just about my favorite thing ever.

(Also, I realized I forgot to mention in last week's recap post that for the past ( Read more... )
