I responded to your comment on my blog, but I never know if I should just respond there, or back on your blog or what... So I guess I'll do both. ;-) I am in UT! I'm not going to be at LDStorymakers though, it's my DH's bday on the 24th. I'd love to do lunch that day or some other time though! Let me know.Sara B.
