Fantastic February

Another month down and 2015 is flying by. I woke up a little angry going to church today, because it was snowing. I know it can be magical and all, but that only applies to before Christmas. Utah is all backwards in the weather. I miss the sunny days a few weeks back! But despite the backwards weather, February was a good month. Obviously the highlight was going to Santa Barbara. I did forget to mention an important part of the trip! Stopping in Vegas and going to SHAKE SHACK. After our trip to the east coast, I would dream about that place. It wasn't quite as good as NY, but it was enough for me!

It's kind of obvious how excited I get about food. And no I am not ashamed. While we are talking about it, I have to highlight one of my favorite restaurants in all of Utah. My office went here a year and a half ago to celebrate birthdays: Molly's Cafe. The cutest little cafe right in Provo. Definitely the best home-cooking you'll find. It's a catering company so they are only open friday nights and lunch friday and saturday. Oh my gosh if you haven't gone here, you have missed out on so much happiness. Since it's right by the D.I., we went on a date to the D.I. after. Ha, so classy. Alex bought a throwback BYU sweatshirt. Woot! (btw I think Alex's hair is long enough now...he's donating it to children's hospital, but refuses to cut it yet)

My brother-in-law, Ryan, is dating a girl right now, Melody, that he's pretty serious with. Alex and I didn't know her super well, so it was way nice when she texted me and asked if we could get lunch or dessert. And that's the kind of person she is. She seeks out friendship and is very kind. We get along great and ended up staying at the Chocolate for like 3 hours, talking about everything. The poor workers kept coming over to try to take our cazookie away (but seriously, if there's some left, I'm eating it). Now I have completely given up sweets for lent (super sad). But good!

sorry for bad phone quality pics.

Living in Utah in your 20's means that you're going to go to a million weddings. I mean, at least once a month. Alex and I went to the cutest wedding for one of my coworker's son Matt. Matt actually used to work with us too. He and Jayna were so cute and looked so happy! It was at the Lindon barn and just darling. I especially loved the candy bags we got that I filled with Cadbury eggs and cinnamon bears :)

Yesterday was spent at my old stomping grounds (UCDH) where I went to dental hygiene school. They put on an event every year called Give Kids A Smile. Over 150 kids got x-rays, dental cleanings, sealants, and any treatment needed. There were over 20 dentists with their assistants, all of the UCDH students, and random volunteers like myself. My dentist didn't participate this year because of health reasons. I wanted to go anyways because who doesn't love helping out kids? I was over helping the students with x-rays and helped coordinate where the kids were suppose to go next. It was so fun and rewarding and I met a ton of great dental offices. I swear dentists are some of the nicest people on the face of the planet. Oh and I randomly met a girl going to UCDH who grew up with Alex and all of his friends from Meridian. Small world!

I have to end with one more highlight of the month of February. Can we just talk about gas prices? They're starting to go up again, but what the $16 for my gas tank?! Unreal. Thank you, Costco. Happy days for Barney (my purple car).
