Only In Utah


We recently finished reading the Book of Mormon as a family!! (It took 1 and a half years reading 1 page most nights). We decided to celebrate by going bowling and getting ice cream. So, while we were purchasing our games and getting our shoes, Kamryn excitedly told the cahier, "We just finished reading the Book of Mormon as a family so now we get to go bowling and ice skating." Where else but in Utah would a young cashier reply, "Oh, you did? That is so awesome!"? I love living here in happy valley where people are proud of our family for having good values. I love living in a place where our children can feel comfortable sharing our exciting news with perfect strangers and then having the strangers be excited for them and know what the heck:-) they are talking about. We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful state, city, nieghborhood, home.

Utah is a great place! What a fun idea to take your kids bowling and out for ice cream to celebrate finishing the Book of Mormon.
