Utah 2006

I went to Utah to see Nancy get married and take some pictures. Baptisms and weddings - I cry every time... It was so Nancy, very simple without alot of fanfare yet elegant and beautiful. The happy Toronto couple and the SLC temple. I love going to the live endowments there. You can pick up on other stuff that you wouldn't have notices before. Good stuff.
While in Utah I took some vacation, rented a car and hadn't a care in the world. I spent 6 years of my life attending BYU so I know plenty of people there still. I don't have pictures of everyone/everything and didn't have nearly enought time but here's a nice, random smattering. From top left: Me and Heather Nichols at the Bees baseball game, Tim and Bethony Hall with their little boy Ethan, Anna Frost (formerly Paget) with her sister Sarah's newborn girl, Y Mount - my old stomping ground, Me and Mari Heward (fromerly Tomkinson) at the only restaurant I need to vitist when I come to Utah (Los Hermanos) cause they have my favorite taquitos - shredded beef in a flour tortilla. Yum.
I love this view of the temple from the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
And can you believe it! A sphynx with Joseph Smith's face on it in Gilgal Park. This place is definitely not run by the church although it was started by a man building sculpltures to manifest his testimony.
Mount Timpanogos. I never realize I miss the mountains until I see them again. They were the backdrop of my life for so many years. They help you keep your coordinates straight too. It was the end of May and it's still snowcapped. Ah, the beauty and majesty. Just think, the pioneers had to surmount that (among others)!
