Christmas trip to Utah

Our friend, Casie, got married in the Manti Temple over the weekend. She asked us when she got engaged if we would come and we decided that it was important to support Casie. AND it let us spend time with Sarah and Brian, who aren't coming home for Christmas.
The wedding:

On Friday night, we went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the Museum of Art at BYU. It was seriously awesome! The church has used many of his paintings in church publications, so they are familiar. We all liked the exhibit a lot.

After the wedding on Saturday, we went up to the Riverwoods Mall in north Provo. It was really prettily decorated--very sparkly. We wandered around, found some really fun stores, and rode in a carriage ride. We got the long version, because no one else was waiting for a ride at that point.

It was a quick trip, but worth it. At the airport in SLC on the way home, our plane was late getting in from it's destination (which was Minneapolis). When it did get in, we were just sitting there watching people get off, when Janet nudged me and said, "Hey, that's Rachel Brown." Haha...we were getting on the plane they just got off. I got to say hi briefly and I met baby Forrest. He's a cutie!
