Catching up

So the past few weeks have been adventurous.. Tyler has gone on a few trips doing interviews for jobs (San Jose & Dallas) and law schools (Arizona), Rachel has been working hard (CVB), and we've done some fun things around town and over Thanksgiving Break. We drove down on Wednesday to make it for Mama Joan's BDAY

The day before we left we also had a chance to celebrate Sarah Morris' wedding at the SLC Temple. She looked beautiful and it was so exciting to see another good friend get married!

In Arizona, Tyler was happy golfing everyday, and Rach did some shopping with mom and also got to attend a Suns Game! Unfortunately, no Steve Nash = no Win.

On our drive home we actually met outside of Page, AZ with Rachel's Brother Michael (Who just had to go to Utah to go snowboarding with his buddies over Thanksgiving Break!) A classic pic!

We were driving up to Utah and they were driving back to AZ .. met at mile marker 12.. check out the Dam Bar & Grill in the background!

And last night, we went to the Festival of Tress - Rachel's company had done a tree so we got some discount tickets. It was amazing to see the quantity of trees that people had donated to the event. Our favorite tree is the all blown glass tree you'll see below. It sold for 26k!!! There was also a Twilight tree that had presents for each one of the characters underneath.. very creative.. there was also a rivalry (BYU v Utah) tree. It was a great night!

And of course, we have to congratulate the Utah fans, it was fun being up in the Scholarship Box.. we met the U President, Athletic Director, and spotted multiple Utah celebs (Gov. Huntsman, Orrin Hatch, Bob Bennett, Elder Wirthlin who went out on top!, and others..) Here is a pic of Rach and the grandparents in the SEA of RED. Good times!
