The day started out great because we got a call from the owner of the apartments we've been on a waiting list for. We put our names on the waiting list in January of last year, and all that waiting has paid off. We get to move from our 1 bedroom into a 2 bedroom on April 19! We don't have to be out of this apartment until April 30, so we have some time to move slowly over. I can't wait to move away from our stressful downstairs neighbor, and for more apace. The apartment complex we're moving into is in our ward, so we aren't moving far and we will already know our neighbors. Our new down stairs neighbor is John Brumbaugh and his family. John and I grew up together, so that will be fun! We are so excited!
Jeremy and I headed up to Salt Lake at about noon. We started off at the Salt Lake Cemetery and visited the graves of all the prophets who were buried there, except Howard W. Hunters. (We couldn't ever find his.) I was amazed at how big the prophet's headstones are. For those of you who care, we visited the graves of John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Joseph F. Smith, Heber J. Grant, George Albert Smith, David O. McKay, Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball, and Gordon B. Hinckley.
While we were there, we also visited the grave of Jeremy's great aunt who we named Clara after. (And yes, that is Jeremy with a beard. He had decided to see how he likes having facial hair.)
After the cemetery, we went to Temple Square and visited Brigham Young's grave along with the Christus. (Yes, we did this the same day, even though Clara has different outfits on. It was a day of changing dirty diapers for us as well.)
We ended our day by going to the Clark Planetarium. They did a laser show to some U2 songs. We decided to take Clara with us. She was screaming at first because the guy announcing the show was having the crowd scream and yell. She hated the noise, and I began to worry. We laid her on our lap so she would have optimum viewing of all the lights, and she loved it. She didn't make a peep for the whole show. It also started at 9, which is the time she normally goes to bed, so I figured she would fall asleep before it was over. However, she was so mesmerized that she stayed awake the whole time.Even though, it was an extremely long day, we had so much fun! Too bad it's back to the old grind tomorrow.

What a fun weekend! I would love to go around to the prophet's graves. Maybe when it warms up a bit. How exciting about being able to move. The added space will be wonderful for you and esp. Clara to have a room of her own.
Congratulations on the move! That is very exciting! Your day in Salt Lake sounds great and the picture with Clara at Clara's grave is absolutely priceless.
That's a neat outing! I am glad that you are able to get into a bigger place. It will make such a difference!
