Holy cow, what a weekend we had! We were booked solid but it was so good!
Our friend Dennis planned a very last minute trip to Utah so we got to hang out with him! :)
We started off our weekend with ice skating. It went really well until the very end...
We were doing only one lap more lap around because they were closing and the next thing I know Dennis
is on the ground covered in ice. He makes it off the rink and when we get back to our apartment his ankle is swelling and
he's hobbling around. We had a doctor look do a quick examination at the house and after he poked and
prodded his conclusion was a really bad sprain. Ooops! Sorry Dennis!
Come to find out when Dennis went back to Connecticut he fractured his foot in 3 places and his hand!
Next time Dennis comes to town, I think we'll skip the ice skating.
The next morning we woke up and took pictures. Dennis wrote a book called,
and he wanted Andrew to take some pictures for his social media account and other purposes.
It's a wonder he got his shoe on and he was hobbling around as we dragged him everywhere.
But I think they got some good shots even with the circumstances.
One thing special that we were able to do was to go to the Provo City Center Temple.
Dennis had a brother who died around 15 years ago and Dennis went to the temple for his brother on Saturday
(to learn a little more you can click here). So grateful for temples and so blessed to live so close.
I mean this one is walking distance from our apartment
(of course we didn't walk with Dennis' foot and all) but so happy to live where we do.
This gospel is true and I feel so much peace inside the temple.
I love knowing that God loves all of His children and He wants them all to have a chance to receive His gospel.
I love knowing that there is more to life than just this life- that there is life after death made
possible through our Savior Jesus Christ.
I love learning more about my Savior. I love becoming closer to Him.
And I love the countless blessings the gospel of Jesus Christ brings to my life on a daily basis #blessed.
^And of course, brides are everywhere, so we needed one in our picture, haha^
We continued our downtown Provo tour at Hruskas Kolache which I highly recommend.
It's the perfect place for breakfast!
In the evening we went to Comedy Sportz which is one of the best outings there is.
Dennis is someone who loves to laugh and is constantly upbeat with a smile on his face.
He loved it! If you're looking for clean comedy, this is the place! This was Andrew and mine's 3rd time this year alone!
On Sunday we headed up north to see one of the many sister missionaries who served in Dennis
home ward give her homecoming talk.
^Look at all the missionaries Dennis has worked with + more not even here.^
And don't you love his footware? He couldn't wear his shoes so Andrew lent him sandals to wear.
We had such a good weekend with Dennis and we found out that he is my 8th cousin twice removed.
So we're related which is pretty cool no matter how distant we are.
He tried funeral potatoes for the first time and I don't think I've ever seen someone more excited to try a new food.
It was crazy busy all weekend long but we enjoyed it just the same.
Sorry we broke your foot Dennis, but thanks for partying with us anyways!
Oh, and Dennis' book is coming out August 13 THIS YEAR!
He is having a book launch party that day and anyone is welcome to come!
It's happening in Provo and the tickets are F R E E!
Yep. Free.
If you would like to come tickets are being "sold" here.
Come, enjoy, and celebrate!
