A day riding the train

I love living here!!:)

I have a good friend, her name is Karen! We've been friends since 3rd grade, and we did everything together in high school. We even roomed together during our years at Snow College. She holds a special place in my heart. Well, she lives up in this area with her family and we haven't done very much together over the years because of distance and things. But it's been so fun to be up here closer to her! There has been so much opportunity to hang out, and I've loved it.

Yesterday we took the train to SLC (my first time riding the transit). It was fun! My kids are going to love it when they get here!:) We took the Trax to Temple Square and enjoyed time at the visitor's center. Lately I have been intrigued with watching people and how they behave and react in situations. It's like a new study of mine.:) Anyway, we were sitting by the Christus and a huge group of missionaries were taking pictures. I can only imagine they were from the MTC because there were alot of them. There was a particular group, they looked Asian, who's behavior made both of us chuckle a little bit.:) "Oh, they must be 19-year-old missionaries," we thought. There must have been about 7 or 8 of them, posing awkwardly and silly in front of the statue. I can guess that they were trying to show off.:) Teenagers do funny things, especially when they are away from their parents. It put a smile on our faces, at least, to watch them.;) I also met a nice couple who live in Bountiful and served in Nauvoo with Rosemary and Richard Lee (the sweetest couple who live in Hurricane). Small world!

We also enjoyed a late lunch at Applebee's at the Gateway Mall. Clark's Planetarium was fun too. I can't wait for my kids to move up here in a couple of weeks. I miss them SO much! They are going to have so much fun riding the train to SLC and discovering so many fun things!

I LOVE living here! (did I mention that yet?)
