Craters!

A few weeks ago, I started researching fun and unique things to do in Utah. Joe and I have lived in Utah for many years now but haven't really seen most of the state because we're busy with school or don't want to spend the money to go do something. Well, that all changed Monday night. I found an indoor hot springs place in Midway, about 45 minutes away from our home. It's called the Crater and here is the website with a video so you can learn more. It is literally a crater that has hot springs in it. It is about 65 feet deep and probably 20 feet in diameter. Supposedly, it is the only warm scuba diving place in the western hemisphere I think. We enjoyed swimming around and being in warm water in the middle of the winter. The only thing that wasn't so good was getting out because the front door was wide open and it was snowing outside so we almost froze in our swim suits. But overall, it was a cool adventure to go on with Joseph and we enjoyed a night off from school! Here are some pictures:


It was super duper steamy when you tried to take pictures so this is the only one that turned out somewhat okay.

Quilt

Here are the (almost) finished pictures of the quilt I've been working on this winter. I have to sew on a terry cloth duck to the front but aside from that, it is all ready to go...

Amazed at Vocal Point

I have been dying to see Vocal Point in concert ever since I transferred to BYU 2.5 years ago and heard about the group. Finally, they were performing in Salt Lake City last night and so I bought tickets in the fall to go. Little did we know that they are now performing in Provo next month but oh well. We made it a date by also going to Olive Garden before the concert. I could not have been happier with the concert. It was absolutely amazing and I was smiling the entire concert! It was about and hour and a half long so well worth the money for tickets. All 9 of the men are very talented and have used their talents for the good. They sang a wide variety of songs from Elvis to Rascal Flatts to God Bless the USA to some hymns even. For those who don't have the opportunity to know who Vocal Point is or what they sound like, here are some youtube links. All the noises you hear are from the guys, not a CD, which makes even more amazing!
