in less than a week

we will be in beautiful salt lake city! i cannot wait, i am sooo excited to see my family!

and here are some things i am looking forward to (in no particular order):

• of course, spending lots of time with my mom & dad, and brother & sister
• getting to chill out at my parents house. it is so homey and comfy, and i miss it so much (even the smell)
• enjoying the utah climate - i don't mind if it snows or if it is warm, either way, i'll love it
• seeing many old friends, and meeting a few new ones too!
• eating food that is not available out here. and lots of it. most importantly vertical diner, evergreen cafe, and del taco.
• getting tons of treats from my friend kelly green at her amazing bakery and taking the kids to an "easter (no)egg hunt" also sponsored by kelly and cakewalk bakery
• watching hgtv on cable at my parents
• going on a date with my husband
• taking the kids swimming at fairmont aquatic center with katie and her boys
• hopefully taking a day trip up to idaho to visit my fathers roots
• finally getting the little piece on my arm finished (tattooed)!
• having my hair done by the fabulous jared gomez
• taking malcolm to play at liberty park (and maybe a few others that alanna loved)
• seeing alice in wonderland with alanna, mom, and natalie
• maybe a trip to ikea?
• grandma sycamore's bread

i'm sure there are a few other things that i can add... when i think of them. this should be a busy and fun-filled trip! yay for vacation!
