-Ate a lot of food

-tried on Mom's wedding dress and Oma's head piece(for me to wear when we get married)- loved it all!

-Had our announcement shots taken at Sundance by my awesome photographer uncle, Brian Mealey (http://www.brianmealeyphotography.com/). I get the prints this weekend! YAY

-Went Rock Climbing at the Quarry with the whole family- very fun!

-Watched the BYU/U game- very exciting/nerve racking

-Went to a performance of Handel's Messiah at Abravenel Hall in SLC

Then, last weekend, we were in DC where we:

-Met his Mom and Sister (very nice, smarter than I am types)

-Stayed with our friends Torrey and David who conveniently live four doors down from one another

-Hung out in his awesome hotel suit at the Hotel Monaco in DC (very neat hotel- kinda funky/lux- loved it http://www.monaco-dc.com/index.html )

-Forgot the memory card to my camera so we got zero pictures

-Went to a Wizards/Raptors game in his company's box and met some very interesting/cool people

-Went apartment hunting in Bethesda and found some great places right near BCG and the metro and several yoga studios (yay!)

-Went to dinner with BCGers at Zengo- a cool Asian fusion food place

-Went to lunch with nikki at a French bistro on the hill and got a tour from her (ie we had chatty time on the house floor)

-Went to delightful dessert place called Buzz ( http://www.buzzonslaters.com/ ) with David and ate little pies (one chocolate orange and one lemon cream)

-Went to lunch with Nikki and David at this great Belgian bakery on Capitol hill called Le Pain Quotidien ( http://www.lepainquotidien.com/ ) which was my favorite part of the trip

-Got snowed on terribly by a freak snow storm on Saturday

-Went to church with Torrey and David and Evan's mom Mary-Louise

-Flew back to SLC just in time (ie we arrived after the opening prayer) for the LDS Christmas devotional

-Cried during President Monson's airport story (just me, not Evan)
