Five

Five for Friday

1.) We are finding lots of things we like about Utah. Far more than I imagined I would. I love Laren's short commute. I love being near more family than we were in Colorado. I love having the mountains so close. I love having so many family oriented activities to do here. I love having the temple and church building close, [and the schools].

2.) We recently discovered the Dinosaur Museum and my kids love it. We have been there several times already and plan on going often!

3.) We were able to go to a BYU Basketball game recently and it was a lot of fun to go and be in the Marriott Center (with decent seats, even) with my husband and kids. I also should add, I enjoy living closer to the BYU Bookstore, I recently hit a great sale there (70% off) - but even if there is no sale I love to go and look...and I love BYU rice crispy treats! Very tasty!! :)

4.) Yesterday I finally went to a Shop that I've been dying to go into for a year now! It was Hapari, a swimwear store. I actually live fairly close to it and my daughter and I had a good time looking at and trying on swimsuits - made us more hungry for summer though! And speaking of shops, American Fork and Lehi have some great little Boutiques, that I've been discovering! You never see things like this (boutiques) in Colorado!

5. This morning Tyler and I ventured out to Shade's sale at the Warehouse in Pleasant Grove. They had tons of Shade shirts, jackets, etc... for $3, $5, $7, and $9!!! I got some stuff for my girls and I. But I totally thought of you Jenny (and Angie) and wished I had thought to ask your size, etc... so I could have gotten you something! And not only were the prices great at this sale, but everyone there (there were hoardes of shoppers!) seemed to be very polite, not too grabby! :)

Kari, it sounds like your having fun!!! I wish I would have been there to go shopping! Did you like the suits at Hapari? Are they as modest as they lo0ok? I am thinking of placing an order, but have never seen one up close.

I miss BYU bookstore. That was my hang-out between classes - I would read the "Deep Thoughts" greeting cards. My kids want to go back up to BYU so bad - me too!

Five great reasons to also live in Utah instead of Idaho!

Mary said...

Those are five great things. We've never been to the dinosaur museum. Maybe we can meet there next time we visit Utah.

Denise said...

Yay! I'm glad you're settling in and liking it here. I didn't know Hapari had a store, I thought it was only online. I'm totally going there!

Krista said...

Makes me want to move there too! I think people forget about all the great things there. I miss the sales in america--we never have those great deals here!

Your too sweet. We have a shade store here, but he prices don't seem to be anything cheap like that. Have you noticed that the shirts run bigger? I haven't bought any for a while.

Glad you are adjusting well!

Don't make me sad!!!! I live in Rock Springs and there is NOTHING here. It makes Brighton look sweeeeeet.

Jen said...

"good time looking at and trying on swimsuits" You have to be the only person I know that enjoys trying on swimsuits! You go girl! I'm glad you're getting acclamated and finding your way around. Isn't there a Real Deals somewhere near you? Now, THAT is a store I have a "good time" in.

I need to get out more. I am glad you found the swimsuit place. Where is it? I need to go. I just bought season tickets to Seven Peaks so we need new suits. Modbe also has swimsuits there is a place close by you can try those on too.
