Utah

My sister Janna and husband, Brian, adopted Ana and Mya in Dec. I am so glad that Allison and I got to go and share with their special times!! I really wish I pulled out my camera more often!

So, we got there on Sunday. Monday morning was the legal adoption. Tuesday, Adrienne, Clint, Jes, Alli and I drove about an hour to go to Ruths Diner in Emigration Canyon. Clint saw it on some show on the food network.
Tuesday night was a Christmas party for Janna's work. She worked for Beneficial, owned by Deseret, I think. Dinner was really delicious. President Monson was there, and spoke. There were other aposotles, including President Oaks and Scott. It was nice to hear from him in a less churchy setting. He encouraged everyone to fix anything that may not be in harmony with anyone we know by sending them a card, or calling them with a greeting to wish them well, forgive the past, and have a great new year together.

Wednesday we did some shopping, and that night was the Temple Sealing. I am SO glad that I was able to be there. I am SO happy for Janna and Brian, and the girls.

Oh yeah, on the way home from the sealing, Adrienne Clint and I stopped at Cafe Rio for dinner. They were pretty much closing, and we had to leave before I was finished. It was SO GOOD!!

This was mine. Some kind of salad w chicken, and some spicy ranch dressing, and chicken tortilla soup. YUM!!
