From the Asthma Walk to the Symphony

I think I have said before that I love weekends... but I will say it again anyway... I LOVE WEEKENDS! :)

After having a very long, tiring week for both Troy and I, we were happy to spend a relaxing Friday evening having dinner with Friends. Along with Dave & Rachel and Kevin & Kim, Troy and I headed out to Cafe Trang and had a delicious dinner with a GORGEOUS view! The new Cafe Trang in Draper looks out over the valley where Draper sits and up towards the snow covered peaks. It was just beautiful with a new dusting of spring snow and plenty of rain.

Saturday started very early with the Asthma Walk (http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/e01/team.jsp?id=1425&tid=333) at Sugarhouse Park. As many of you know.. I am not a morning person, but perhaps you do not know that Troy isn't either. Needless to say... getting us both outside at a park at 8am on a Saturday (on a rainy cold morning) is not an easy trick. Haha! We were happy to support such a great cause though and we were happy that we went. There were these two little boys (Isaac and Nathan) that wanted so badly to cross the finish line first so Troy, with them in tow, took off ahead of everyone else. The three of them did a little jogging, running and walking to get to the finish WAY AHEAD of everyone else. And despite a small asthma attack, the three of them crossed the finish line all at the same time. They boys thought it was so fun and Troy really enjoyed it too.

Saturday night we had the Symphony and we had a wonderful time! I made dinner for us beforehand and then we headed downtown. The Symphony was titled Pavel and Ravel and we both thoroughly enjoyed all three pieces. The funniest part of the evening however, was the fact that the Utah Jazz were playing in game 7 at the same time. The people next to us had gotten a message during the first half with an update on the score.. and during intermission, Troy logged on to the fox sports site and gave us all real time updates. By the end of the symphony there was only 10 minutes left in the game and our neighbors were anxious for updates. Troy gave them the latest and then we ran out to the car to catch the last few minutes on the radio. Needless to say... the Jazz won! They play in the next series starting on Monday... go Jazz!
