One Year in Salt Lake City

Monday we celebrated our one-year anniversary in Salt Lake.  The experience is so easy to remember because all of our boxes were delayed for at least a week and we slept on the empty floor of this apartment overlooking the Capitol and glorious Temple Square lights.  While it wasn't convenient, especially right before Christmas, it was a special time.  We were on the brink of a new adventure in a new city.

To celebrate the girls slept on the floor in the same place they did when we arrived, although their set-up is far more elaborate and cozy than that first week!

It has been quite a year!  We have made great attempts at exploring our surroundings and making new friends.  We have loved living so close to family.  We love seeing old friends who have moved to Utah, or visit family here, from our BYU, Washington, D.C. and Harvard days.  We love living so close to the temple.  We love the many canyons, one withing walking distance.  And we love the work Geoff is doing.  We wish we could travel with him more and meet the great people he meets, but by letting him go and do his great work we feel we are making a difference too.

One year strong and and looking forward to great years ahead!
