Friday Fun

When I met with my Doctor a couple of weeks ago, she specifically prescribed to me that I have more fun and enjoy life. What with my work and temple schedule, that is something that has been in somewhat short supply for me recently. But this past Friday I took the day off and took her up on it.

Among other things that day, I went for a morning walk around Holladay with my good friend Stephanie, and later that evening, I met up with my friend Robin for dinner at the local Soho Food Truck Park. It's a great spot in Holladay that brings in 5 or 6 different trucks all at once, and folks can come eat and sit and visit. We ordered Quinoa Salads and bottles of water from a Peruvian truck that I really like, and sat on the lawn while we ate. 



After dinner we walked down to the local discount movie theater for another showing of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2". Then to finish things off, we grabbed a sundae from the DQ before walking home. 

(On a side note: Can I just tell you how awesome it is to have a DQ down the street? There are so few DQ's here in the valley, and I love that I live so close to one.)

I ended up getting all my steps in for that day, and then some, and I actually had a little fun while I was doing it. Just what the Doctor ordered.

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).
