december 17

today was a full day, again.

it all started when weston called me around 8:45 am with the news that he was one of those dumb people in an accident on the freeway. thank goodness, and no surprise, it was not at all his fault. (the fact that weston is such a conservative, safe driver is one of the top reasons my mom loves him). apparently he got rear-ended and it totally killed the back end of my sweet little prizm. so sad. we are awaiting his appointment monday morning with the other driver's insurance adjustor to find out what happens next. do we get to keep her or will she go the way of the salvage yard. i am really very sad about this - i love that little car. she's such a good one.

our activity for the day was to go see the lights at temple square. so, once we figured the traffic had died down, we drove to salt lake. kate crashed out about halfway there and when we arrived, she was still out cold. we wrapped a blanket around her and layed her out in her stroller (thank goodness for the adjustable seat!) and she missed more than half the night. we had her really covered up in that blanket - her face was covered even - and more than one person gave that sideways glance into the stroller trying to figure out if we had anyone in there :)

it was incredible to see the amount of slr cameras and tripods on temple square - laughable really. i should have kept count. in no exaggeration, there were probably more than 50 tripods in the 30 minutes we were there. oh boy. my man shot all of these images with no tripod and his awesome point and shoot g10 :)

kate finally woke up and finally decided to smile and enjoy the night.

we ended the night by eating dinner at, you guessed it, in-n-out. they opened up right by our house finally and boy did it put a smile on our faces. we were both laughing at ourselves because we felt like we were all of a sudden travelling and far from home. it's hard to believe you can get a double double just 1 minute away :) it was fantastic.
