Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry

I met Dr. Venki Ramakrishnan, winner of the Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, on Wednesday and had the opportunity to spend about an hour with him and some legislators. (He started his research at the University of Utah.) I was highly inspired by his love for learning and life.

Watch his video here.

Mason Jennings.

Mason Jennings played in Salt Lake this weekend.

It was amazing.

His voice is awesome.

And I went with Andi and Ashley.

What a great weekend.

And oh, Mitch comes home on Wednesday.

Jake.

That's right. My little brother Jake is home from his mission in Ghana and my family could not be more excited. Welcome home! I love you.

The Pioneer Woman

The is Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman.

Yes, I am obsessed with her.

She is the creator of this blog.

You should read it, her love story is amazing.

(Please make fun of me.)

Her cookbook is also on the New York Times Bestseller List.

She came to Utah to do a book signing.

I saw her and loved every moment.

Sarah and I ran into Emily & Andrea.

What a great night.

*Thanks to Andrea for the pictures.

Grand Canyon

We hiked the Grand Canyon from rim to rim two weeks ago and stayed at Jacob Lake.

We had 16 people in our group. It was fabulous!
