For instance, you get to have play dates with cousins whenever you want! We went with Makenna and kids to temple square last week because all the trees were in bloom and we wanted to check out the church history museum. We couldn't do that in Idaho now could we? Temple square was dressed to the nines and at it's spring finest. Then we went across the street to the church history museum and it is so rad! I was very impressed with the kids museum section, and it's all for free!
That weekend, I was able to get together again with my friend Jenna from high school that lives up here now. We took some selfish time to ourselves and ate at Moochies (as seen on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives", and it was actually very good. Then we headed over to City Creek Mall since I haven't really checked that out yet. We came up with the crazy idea to get us some free makeovers. We stopped at Sephora but they charged $50 bucks. So we went to Nordstrom at the Mac counter, but they charge $50 bucks. So we made our way to the Clinique counter and Jenna, the smooth-talker, got us makeovers for free! After getting all dolled up, we went and ate cake of course. Another couple of benefits to living here.
Probably one of the best benefits to living here is that we have a home, as in an actual house that is ours that we can do whatever we want to (in our dreams, right?). Over the past week, we had to get new tires on both of our vehicles, so I asked if I could save one and take it home. Here's why.
Yup, it's probably my favorite thing about the house now. We couldn't do that at any of our apartments in Idaho. The kids have a blast on it, and every time I see it out the window, I feel at least a little transported to a small town, in the middle of the SLC valley.

I agree with all that you said. Jenna is still as adorable as ever. Also, why the heck do they charge 50 bucks for makeovers? That's disturbing. Who would pay that? I wish I had a tree for a tire swing! What a genius idea. I'll have to remember that one. P.S. Someday we would like to move to Richfield. It's the perfect small town and 2 1/2 hours from St. George and Salt Lake. Right in the middle!
Another great "essay", and I love the tire swing too!
I just took another look at your post and had to comment again on how beautiful you are....makeover or not!
You always bloom where you are planted - LOVE that about you!
Hey Rach! You do look beautiful in those pics - I need to have a sister close by - preferably one who can sweet talk her way into a makeover:) - Nat, how good are you at sweet talking? I miss you Rach - Heck, I miss all of my sisters! So glad you are having fun with the benefits of living near SLC. Love you guys!
