Last night I returned from a fun-filled BONUS trip to Utah! I had the wonderful opportunity to fly to Salt Lake City on Tuesday for a job interview at the Church History Museum for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday. Since I flew back to Springfield on Thursday, it was a quick but VERY FUN trip! After Mom picked me up at the airport on Tuesday, we had a yummy lunch at one of our favorite places: Archibald's at Gardner Village! Later that afternoon we had a fun visit to the Barrett's, then a fun visit with Grandma, and yummy Thai food with Dad later in the evening.

The next morning we got up bright and early, and Mom drove me up to Salt Lake City for the big interview. It was actually a series of three interviews which spanned three hours, but the time flew by because everyone at the museum was SO NICE, and I felt good about how everything went. Since we were already in SLC, Mom and I decided to have a little fun.

It's harder than you might think to take a picture of yourselves and get the Salt Lake Temple in the picture too! By lunchtime things were pretty busy downtown, but Mom and I went up to the Garden Restaurant at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and had a wonderful lunch with a great view of the city.

After lunch we headed back to Utah Valley and stopped to see Grandma one more time.

And that evening we had the Barretts over for a fun dinner and movie night. Dinner was extra tasty and featured, among other delicious items, lil' smokie pigs in a blanket dipped in J Dawgs sauce. Yummmmmmmm.

The movie night movie was, very appropriately, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."

On Thursday morning before heading to the airport, Mom, Dad, and I went for a nice Flag Day walk. Here are Mom and Dad with some of the flags in the background.

And here are Mom and me with some beautiful flowers.

And Dad and me in the cool neighborhood gazebo. It was such a beautiful day! As always, it was sad to leave, but I was so grateful for the opportunity to be there--even just for a couple of days (we sure fit a lot of fun into those two days!)--and to have the job interview at the museum. I should find out about the job within the next couple of weeks. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! On my way to and from Utah I flew through Dallas--so I was there on Tuesday and Thursday; and I just found out today that on Wednesday they had tornadoes in Dallas--yikes!!
