- KAYLA AND KURT BEREJKOFF

Today I had the privilege of attending the wedding of Kurt Berejkoff and Kayla Montgomery at the Sacramento LDS Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony. Congratulations Kurt and Kayla!

- MEXQUITE!

After Kurt and Kayla's wedding, Carrie and I went to lunch at Mexquite in Folsom. It was as delicious as Carrie said it was. We found it! We drove right to it! It really exists!

Proof that Mexquite Restaurant isn't a figment of Carrie's imagination!

- HANG IN THERE JACK!

Today was free taco day at Jack-In-The-Box. Jack was hit by a bus on February 1st. Shandra, Alice and I had to show our support today. It wasn't about the tacos, it was about the adventure....and the freebies. I love freebies!

- DELAYED VALENTINE'S BAKING ACTIVITY

Last Wednesday we got snowed out. Our YW Valentine's Day baking activity was canceled because the roads to the church weren't safe. We decided that it's never too late to bake heart-shaped cookies, so.....

tonight we all gathered in the kitchen at the church and made stained glass sugar cookies and heart shaped rice krispie treats.

We brought all the right tools...

crushed up the jolly ranchers.....

filled the cookies with crushed candy....

learned from our mistakes ;) ......

made rice krispie treats......

and had a REALLY fun time!

- MARLEY AND ME

I just finished reading a really great book. No, I haven't seen the movie - not sure if I will. It always disappoints me to see the movie after reading the book. It never quite measures up. I laughed and cried myself all the way through "Marley & Me". I'm not really much of a dog person, but this one made me ALMOST think about being a dog owner (that's really saying something). It also prepared me to have empathy for my friend Karen who lost her dog Salsa this week. He was 12 years old and truly her baby. I had a good visit with Karen tonight. She shared her favorite memories of Salsa with me and we had a good cry. I left chocolate. Chocolate always makes things better.

- DOUBLE RAINBOW AT SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The last week has been REALLY wet here in northern California. We had rain and snow most every day here in Placerville. Tyler sent me a photo he took today from the control tower of the Sacramento Airport. Beautiful! I love rainbows!
