-Last Wednesday, I flew out to Salt Lake City after my pinning ceremony and surprised my mama for her birthday. Ok, I low-key have never seen her so surprised. When my sis and I arrived at the house, my mom had just woken up (it was late because my flight had been delayed) and she looked so happy and shocked. She kept clapping and was like, "Grace? Grace? Grace!!" Haha.
-My time with my sis and mom in Utah was awesome. We drove down to Southern Utah and took my mom to Hell's Backbone Grill and hiked the Lower Calf Creek Trail in Escalante-Grand Staircase. We stayed at the Bouldercreek Ranch and had good food and coffee throughout.
-This past Sunday, Tiff and I hosted a dinner party and had Lisa, Dave, and Kayla over. Tiff made chicken provencal, her amazing anchovy olive oil based salad dressing; Kayla made a fruit cobbler and a freshly blitzed lime mint seltzer drink that she and Tiff drank while they were in India; I made my homemade ricotta cheese. The dinner was amazing - I won't ever forget what became the highlight of the dinner: truffle salt. It was great sprinkled over the main dish, over the ricotta cheese/honey/crusty bread combo, over the salad.
-I hung out with Tiff again yesterday and showed her how to make the ricotta cheese - we made another batch which she took home. And then the evening got better because she taught me how to longboard! And it was great! Like I kinda want to get back on it and try to do s-curves. Which says a lot because I usually shy away from things that required coordination.
-I am officially settled into the room upstairs. I love my room so much and have loved decorating it. After two years of not having windows/natural light, it feels good to wake up to natural sunlight.
Thank you for all of these good gifts, Lord.
