Temple Grounds and some missing gifts

Nik reminded me that I have not mentioned what he got me for my birthday. And then I realized that I did not tell you what my mom got me either! I suck! Ok, so here it is. Nik surprised me with a sweet new green iPod Nano (the one that plays video) and I already have the Sex and the City the movie on there. Its pretty awesome. And Mom got me a ton of stuff! She made me a couple of shirt pillows that look great on my couch and are very comfortable. She also made a few bubble scarves. They are hard to explain but they are cute. Some nail polish, and polish remover, clip-on devil horns, a tiny (super soft) black cat figurine, and a Pyrex pan with my last name etched on it just about round off all the gifts. Except one. Last night my new friend from the ward Ashley, brought me over a birthday gift. Ashley, that was brilliant! I laughed out loud reading every one! She made me a box of "Take Out Gilmore Girls" It was a chinese style take out box filled with hand-made paper fortune cookies complete with GG quotes in each one. IT WAS AWESOME! Here is a picture.

And last night Nik took the scouts to the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Joseph Smith Building. Afterwards we took a walk around Temple Square and through the Visitors Center. Here are a couple pictures I took on the grounds.
