ANTI + SOPHIA ARE HERE!

My mom, my aunt Anti, and cousin Sophia are here for the week so I've been playing tour guide showing them around! 

Yesterday we walked around Temple Square, went in the Tabernacle, and took the tour to the top of the Conference Center to see the view of downtown. I always love the view of the city from the gardens up top. The running water in the rooftop garden and seeing the hustle and bustle of the city below is a fun little mix.

Today I think we're going to the Great Salt Lake after I get off work, and then we go to Riverdance tonight at the Eccles theater at 7:30pm! I'm so excited! I've loved Riverdance ever since I discovered the VHS tape of it at my Grandma's house when I was about 3. I would watch it on repeat over and over and admire all the dancers. I've seen it live once before when I was 18 when they came through on tour to Modesto, California so I'm excited to see it again! And I'm excited to see it in the lovely new Eccles theatre! 

Photos of all that tomorrow. :)

SALT + HONEY WINTER MARKET.

Last night was the opening party for the Salt and Honey Christmas Market I'm participating in! The party was from 6-9pm and the market opened to the general public today at 10am for the next two weeks. 

 

I volunteered to help at the party so I was on door duty checking guests in and giving out name badges. It was fun but I don't know if I would volunteer for the party again, it was just too crazy for me. And I didn't get any food and that's the saddest thing of all! I was so hungry all night but too busy to leave my check in table. I should have known the party would be crazy to try to help with; it just really sounded fun to me initially when I signed up. Oh well, I learned. haha

Forrest and Jeremy came to visit and help me so that was so nice to have them with me for most of it. They were both a little piece of comfort in a crazy moment.

 

I loved seeing all the different booths and all the cute things everyone makes! There are so many talented people that participate in these markets and it's always so fun to see all their products!

Go check it out if you need some cute Christmas gifts or if you just want to wander around the cutest little items! It's across from Barnes and Noble in The Gateway!
