Tevia and Kim Visit

This past weekend was great! I had a visit from one of my dearest, long-time friends, Tevia. She came to Utah with a friend of her's named Kim, who I now consider a friend of mine.

They were making the trip so that Kim could take advantage of the family history resources in Salt Lake City. She is so excited about family history! Just being around her and watching her find new things made me get excited about it too :)

The first night they were here I helped Kim a little bit. I got her set up on FamilySearch. When Mike got home he helped her a lot more with her genealogy. It was actually just fun to be in the room observing her as she came across people she hadn't found before.
Friday, they spent most of their day in Salt Lake so I didn't see them much that day, I had to go to work anyway so it was fine. They got back pretty late, we stayed up a little bit talking about their day.

On Saturday I made puff pancakes for breakfast. I cut up some fresh mango to go on them too. I think they were really tasty. After that, Tevia and Kim and I headed out for a girls day. We drove up Provo Canyon. I think Kim was excited to see some snow still on the ground and she really loved the mountains. We stopped at Bridal Veil Falls for a photo op. I pretty sureKim got a picture too...but I didn't get one of her.

Next we went to the BYU bookstore. 
Look closely, you can see the Y on the mountain

After the bookstore we had a nice lunch at a hawaiian barbecue place and then got some delicious ice cream at the BYU Creamery. I had the caramel cashew, it was amazing!
Saturday night Tevia was awesome (which is nothing new) and bought Austenland so that we could watch it. Love the book and really loved the movie too :)

On Sunday they had to leave. I was sad to see them go, but so glad that they came out for a visit and even more glad that they stayed at our house. Good friends are truly a blessing in life, Tevia has blessed my life for many years. I'm so thankful for her friendship and I can't say enough good things about her. She is simply one of the best people I know!
