Back Fom California Again

I just got home from my 4 day weekend in California. The family all met up there for my nephew's baptism. Ian got baptized on Sunday. He is such a precious baby - such a sweet one. He's so sweet to hold =) The weekend was really nice and I'm so glad I got to hang out with my family (including Kat!) and Timmy this weekend. It was very refreshing to see everyone. The kids were all so cute and hilarious. I'll post more pictures later. Here's a group shot of all of us after Ian's baptism - it's not frequent when we get a group shot like this so I love these kinds of pictures =)

Snow. (Yes, snow.)

We had our first taste of winter today, we as in SLC people, I guess. I walked out of my apartment to go to church and I see snow on the cars, leaves, roofs, everything. Not a whole lot, but enough to surprise me. It was so weird to see snow fall today, I dunno why. Well, maybe because it's not even mid-October yet! Yeah, so crazy. I guess I wasn't completely surprised - the snow was definitely in the forecasts, but still =P The mountains have a nice fresh layer of snow on 'em and I always love that. Makes them look 10 times prettier than they already do.

This weekend, I went around downtown .. checking out different venue possibilities. Having the wedding in Utah makes me giddy about the wedding planning now. I mean, I've been excited about the getting married part the entire time.. but the wedding planning - it was hard to get overly excited when it was in Chicago and I couldn't see anything. But now, I've been driving around, meeting people, etc. Pretty nice. Hopefully, we can have a lot of things settled this week. =) I went to mass at the church where Tim & I want the wedding today.. It's a really pretty cathedral downtown. I'm excited about having the wedding there. I talked to the priest afterward - that was really nice too.

Another work week begins.. I'm excited for my California trip this Friday though =) I get to see Timmy and all of my family =)
