Got to visit Capitol Reef today with Darren. I feel like this place was made for me to have these last few years and going forward. I get there and the endorphins start flowing and I just smile as I think of my mom and dad.

We went on a hard hike today. We hiked from Cohab Canyon to Cassidy arch and back on the Frying Pan trail. This trail has some of my very favorite views of Capitol Reef. 

I was brilliant today as we stopped at the Gifford House and grabbed a pie before our hike. We put it in Darren’s backpack and then ate it at Cassidy Arch before heading back. Very brilliant indeed and totally delicious. 

Also, the Maverick in Richfield has the best vitamin water drink I’ve tasted. So refreshing. And their breakfast burritos are quite tasty.

We got Mason and Rachael moved to Richfield. I don’t know why, but I am very attached to that house and am glad that they can live there.

Went on a lovely spring hike today. Although it was more like a walk since we didn’t even take backpacks. But we did get 5.5 miles in the Alpine foothills. The yellow flowers were out and the birds were singing and the trees were green. It was lovely spring  indeed.

“The Lord provides both sacred times and holy places to help us experience and learn about this inner stillness of our souls.” - Elder Bednar April 2024 GC. 

Still thinking about this hike.  The solitude was amazing.

Hannah gave me a package of unopened Peeps they hadn’t gotten to. You know I ate them right up. Delicious! A little extra yummy since it is not regular Peep season.

Today’s Sunday School lesson included some of my favorite scriptures:

Mosiah 4:9 - Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.

Mosiah 5:3 - And we, ourselves, also, through the infinite goodness of God, and the manifestations of his Spirit, have great views of that which is to come. 

Also Mosiah 4:11 and 5:15.

Ry knocked college out of the park! We celebrated today with her graduation from Utah State University. Proud of that girl.
