Where Am I?

Where is this, you ask?
No Arizona sky ever looked like this.  Not to mention the mountains.


No parking most places close to anything important.

This is a clue. Do you recognize the guy in the orange shirt?
Here's another shot:

Not the best picture, but I really tried to take these shots without Tucker noticing, since he's at work (the candy counter at BYU!)
Yes, I'm in Provo for the next few days.  These are the three days every year that I spend teaching EFY--Especially For Youth--a program for the teens of our Church (click here for a description). It is truly one of the joys of my life.
And as an added bonus, I get to see Tucker!  And tomorrow night I'm making bac'n mac and chocolate chip cookies for his apartment. 

These few days are always refreshing for me--taking time to do something that is me--not Mom me, not Wife me, not Daughter or Friend me.  Just me.
With a little Mom thrown in tomorrow night.

    Teaching at EFY? I want to hear more! I only got to go once growing up, but LOVED it! How fun that your son (I think) works at the bookstore candy counter. I just saw your comment at cjanes blog and had to hop over. You look much too young to have a college student, and your family is beautiful!

    I love the casual, don't notice me taking pictures. I can just picture you doing that! Looks like a FUN job & I love that you teach EFY. Can't wait to hear all about it. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow-and praying for you.
