Tony Caputo's

Tony Caputo's is one of my husbands favorite places to shop/eat/hang out/ get chocolate in Salt Lake. I will agree, the food is good, and the market it quite fun to look around. When mom was in town, one day we had an afternoon lunch here. 

I got the tomato and mozzarella sandwich. Its pretty much a caprezie! (is that how you spell that?)

Jake got a canolie for his dessert.

Walking around the market. Thats a tons of different olive options...

Jake loves looking at the chocolates  He always needs to get a few speciality chocolate bars! The chocolate comes from all over the world, all different coca counts, and different flavors! The prices range for $6.00 to $18.00 for these fun chocolate bars! Its pricey chocolate so you eat it one corner at a time :)

Did you know Salt Lake had its own Petunia the pig just like Seattle's!? Well, her stance is different and she's a different color, but the have the same name, and both collect monies for charities :)

Salt Lake City Cemetery

Last week Jake and I spent some time checking out Salt Lake City Cemetery. I never knew a huge plot of land was located in SLC. With the white snow, and fog out, the cemetery was so peaceful and lovely. The cemetery was huge and seemed to go on in every direction for miles.  It was really neat checking out a cemetery that has been around since the 1800's. There were the neatest headstones. I want to go back here sometime in the fall or so, because I am sure the trees would be so beautiful  and you would be able to see all the head stones. A lot of the headstones were just barely popping out in the snow, so it would be interesting to see. When we were driving around, we even saw 2 deer prancing around the grave yard. They looked to be enjoying themselves.

For some reason, I enjoy going to cemeteries  I like how it makes me think, and I like the peacefulness. I remember growing up, when my friends and I went to tennis lessons, we always made our moms drive us through the cemetery. Weird I know, but I have fun memories of that. I also really enjoy reading the headstones. I like to imagine what someone looked like, what they enjoyed doing, if they had a family of their own, wonder what they lived for, ext.

Driving around the cemetery it got me thinking about life, what I have done so far in life, and all my hopes and dreams. I really began to think a lot how I feel I am so lucky to be happy in life, and how I want to share that with others. I feel I have been blessed throughout my life to always feel positive and happy and I hope to share that with others too.

The more I explore Utah, the more I am loving living here. I never thought I would ever live in Utah, or even own a home in Utah, but life is unpredictable sometimes right?! Its been a great time so far, and I love going on adventures with Jake. I am excited to explore and get to know Utah a bit better throughout the years.  I also love how beautiful it is here. The day we were at the cemetery happened to be such a amazingly foggy and white snowy day :) Here are some pictures we took...

I talked to my mom after I got home from the cemetery and found out my lovely Grandma Ruby and Grandpa Reid (my mother parents) are buried here! Now I will for sure have to come back in the summer with some fresh flowers and come say hello :)

Liberty Park and Video!!

Last weekend, Jake and I took a lovely walk around Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. It was stunning out! Sometimes, white/icy snow out can be so peaceful and beautiful! We had so much fun seeing all the cute ducks. A man came and had 10 loafs of bread and were feeding all the birds. It was perfect because we got to see all the ducks and birds walk around and eat, and be so cute! We talked to the man giving the duck birds, and he said he comes everyday. He must own a bread shop or bakery! Our favorite was watching the ducks slip and slide on the ice, so excited to get to the food. It was so cute :) Here are some pictures and a short we got from the afternoon with tons of fog in them! I tried to capture the moment in the video, and get some ducks slipin and slidin...tell me what you think :)
