President’s Day Weekend

So me and Emily have really fallen in love with Once Upon a Time. The episodes are so good, even when the characters are idiots (a.k.a. Prince Charming). We have been going to the Whitings to watch it with them on Sunday night. It is great to be with Family, and it is so enjoyable. Unfortunately there was no episode this last Monday :( To go with the episode we made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that turned out amazing. We finished Sunday with a little Hercules. It is always fun to watch old Disney movies.

 

On Monday we had a lot of fun as well. We had school off on Monday for President’s day. Originally we were going to see if we couldn’t one of Emily’s friends in SLC on Monday, but that didn’t work out. Regardless, we decided to still go down to SLC. We started with lunch with dad. Emily really enjoyed meeting him, which is good. It was fun to get to spend some time with him.

After that we went to downtown. First we got a tour of the conference center. It was a lot of fun. It was really cool to be up on the roof looking around the valley. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we forgot our cameras and so only have a couple of photos from my phone :( Here they are anyways.

After that we walked around temple square a little bit. We ran into two sets of missionaries that spoke Chinese, and that is pretty awesome. We then just walked around town. It is crazy how much SLC has changed since I lived there, but it was still fun to get around.

To end the night we met up with Drew and Cassi for dinner. We went to get Indian food. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them. Afterwards we went back and had FHE with them, followed by two rounds of Buzz. We then let them get back to their busy lives, and headed back to Provo. Overall it was just an amazing day!

 

Not too much happened during the rest of the week. Emily was really busy preparing for three different tests she had that week, so most of our time was spent on homework. On Friday when she finished the last of her tests we went to Szechuan Garden to celebrate Ben’s birthday. That was fun. We finished that night by watching The Six Sense together. I was amazed that Emily had never seen it before. For being so easily startled she did a great job of watching the movie. Though one time she grabbed me really hard, and that was actually enough to startle me, in a part that has never startled me before :)

Saturday was a fun normal day. I made us some breakfast and then we went off to the temple. Afterwards we just did homework. Dinner was interesting, as we tried to make stuff we had on hand. In the end we made tuna mac and hash browns. A funny combo, but it was good :)

And that was pretty much the week. What about the rest of you, did you have a fun President’s Day weekend. If so, those that still read this should blog about it! I would love to hear stories, especially from all my flagship peeps.
