We are having a very wonderful time here in Salt Lake City with my family. One thing we love so much is the view of Mt. Olympus from my parent's house.
The tree from our post "Salt Lake Reflection" is doing well, as you can see. Summer has definitely livened its branches :).
Today, Nick is helping my dad reconfigure the sprinkler system in the front yard so that it actually waters the lawn and not the trees.
We have spent much of our time engrossed in our captivating novels. Nick is almost done with "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and I am finishing "The Glass Castle."
Yesterday we went on a hike with my mom up Neff's Canyon just a few minutes away. We ran into some other hikers - one homegrown Texan (who still dreams of Pappasito's) - who helped us cross the creek a few times by grabbing logs and branches to make a makeshift bridge. Click on the video to get a sense of the cool spring run off we encountered. It just doesn't get any better than this.We've gotten to see our sweet little niece, Ansley Kate, since we've been here. She is a cutie!
It presented different concepts about forgiveness and showed events such as the Amish School Shooting and 9/11 and many more, where people either chose to forgive or chose not to forgive. It showed how hard forgiveness can be when tragedy strikes, but yet how important it is to forgive. They also showed a really neat study relating to forgiveness and health. If you have spare time, we definitely recommend watching this.
Hope everyone is doing well. I drank sweet tea yesterday and thought of you! Stay tuned for pics of the super cute nursery my bro & sis-in-law made for their baby. I know you will like it and perhaps get some more super cute ideas to add to your already super cute nurseries! Until next time...
