My heart has been so heavy this week....as my friend Garrett unexpectedly lost his father. Rick Campbell was such a kind, loving and generous man. I feel so blessed to have known him and to have spent time with him.

My heart aches for the Campbell family.

Thankfully, we believe that families are forever.

They will see him again someday.

Until then, may the Lord bless them with comfort and peace.

On our way to Costco today, Jared spotted something and yelled two words......

That's right people....a Cafe Rio is opening up, just down the street from our house! I know this is not exciting to all my friends who live in Utah and Vegas but, I crave that chicken salad and the cilantro dressing pretty often.

I am ECSTATIC!!!!
