Utah: The game

So ...FINALLY.... here are the pictures from the game - You will notice that Justin is NOT wearing a coat in spite of the frigid Provo temperatures this day. Justin refused - YES refused to wear a coat?!?!? So we got to the stadium and he was certain he'd be fine -- then it got a little later in the day and he started getting cold - SOOOOO Justin got a bunch of new BYU gear because of his refusal to wear a coat - we had to buy him new sweatshirts, hat, I gave him my spare set of gloves....WHY?? because I'm such a great wife that's why!!

Here's Justin when he wasn't cold.....

Here's Justin's NEW hat.....

Utah: The visit to the temple....

On part of our trip to Utah we went to Temple Square, which was the first time for Justin and I. We are converts to the Church (1 year in March!) and so we were very excited at this trip to see the Salt Lake Temple. It was a cold day but not too bad, and we walked around for almost 2 hours taking in all the sights at the visitors center, conference center, and the beautiful grounds. The visitors centers were AMAZING and so beautifully done. We hung around until it got dark because I wanted to see the temple lit up ---- perfection. All the hard work, prayers, dedication, and absolute passion poured into this building was inspiring.....

Utah: The trip there......

So we took a little jaunt to Utah since we had an extra long weekend!! We left Friday morning and drove (because there is TRULY no other way than to road trip it!) to Provo which is like 9 hours. We had 2 shiny tickets to the BYU v. UNM game and we were ready to go!!! We printed out a yahoo map, which NEVER works out for us, but yet we continue to do it?!?! So we follow the map and had the most BORING drive of all times. Picture nothing --- go on --- close your eyes --- ok -- that's what we saw -- for 9 hours!!

However we did make it to Provo safe and sound, and amazingly enough it is much colder in Utah than New Mexico! Here are some pictures of the most exciting things we saw along the way
