Warm Weather is really nice...

This winter in Utah has been SOOO cold and seems to have lasted a very long time. Granted, I did take a trip to Hawaii in January for a week but then I came home to more cold. Well, on March 21, 2008 Larry and I were married at the Lodge in Perry, Utah. It was a very nice occasion and we were very blessed to have all of our children, their spouses, and all 19 grandchildren in attendance along with a few friends.
After the ceremony and dinner, we took four days and went to Jackson, Wyoming. We stayed in the Cowboy Resort Cabins. You guessed it--more cold weather. At least it didn't storm. We saw all kinds of wildlife and some beautiful scenery. On Monday we drove to Rexburg, Idaho and were able to take in a temple session in the new Rexburg Temple on Tuesday. What a beautiful temple that is. I am so glad that we were able to plan that into our trip.
We got back to Pleasant View and two days later Keri had little Ellisyn. What a beautiful little baby she is, and from what I understand, she is a very good baby too. Kudos to Keri and Brett.
The next week I made the trek to Las Vegas to start the next chapter in my life. Larry and I will be living here for the most part but I will be visiting my home and my children and grandchildren in Ogden as often as possible. I am learning my way around Las Vegas pretty well for having only been here a week. I can at least get to the Meadows mall and several strip malls. :) I have been making a few changes in the house for my convenience as well as just a little updating. I am really excited that some of my children have already committed to come and visit us here. I think Spencer is planning on coming here for a few days also. We'll plan some fun things to do while he is here, however, he may just want to spend the days swimming in the pool in the backyard. At any rate, it seems like I have some things to look forward to in the next little while. Oh, and did I mention that it is nice and WARM here? Today it was nearly 85. Pretty nice if you ask me.

Well, news for you...we have a BEAUTIFUL spring day here that we're enjoying. I'm glad though that you can at least find the mall, that's a very important thing to know and will come in useful when we make the venture there to visit you!

We had a beautiful day here as well. I even put Maggie in shorts! She looked cute. I hope you are keeping a log of all the good places to go eat in Vegas so when we come down we won't waste any time on sub-par eateries. :) Glad you're learning your way around the new city!

It's always warm here in Vegas. Even when it's cold, it's warm.

In fact, last night it was so cold that I had to close the window at 3 in the morning.

Now that's cold.

We sure wouldn't want any of the malls to go un-noticed. I'm glad you're liking it down there. I will remember to come visit only until about mid-April. After that, way too hot!
