Roosevelt GNO

Met up last night for a GNO with some of my pals from my Young Adult Ward.  We used to get together more often, but what with everyone's busy lives, and some husbands and kids thrown into the mix, it's pretty tough to coordinate schedules anymore.  It was great to catch up.  We laughed and visited, and I think we all realize how fortunate we are to still be in touch, even if it is just over Facebook and the annual Christmas card.  We were doubly fortunate to have this little gathering at that Utah Original, Training Table.  Who doesn't love to visit and catch up over cheese fries and ultimate dipping sauce?  

As we were all getting ready to leave, we realized we missed out on the opportunity for a photo op.  I had thought ahead and remembered to bring the camera along, but once at the restaurant, my middle-aged brain promptly forgot about it and left it outside in the car (as Pink would say, total fail).  So instead, here's a group photo from our most recent reunion held last summer.

 
Sometime I'll tell you more about Roosevelt Ward, and what the relationships I made there have meant to me over the years.  Needless to say, it changed my life forever.

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
