Fun weekend

Richard and I made a fun trip to Salt Lake City this weekend, to do some family history research at the family history library for our genealogy class. We ended up spending a long time there, and I found what I thought was a missing branch from our famlily tree - after spending hours doing the work, and having a French translator help me find the real names of some great great greats... I found 5 new names! It was so exciting and so rewarding. The only bummer is that once I called home to tell Mom the exciting news, she already knew those names! Guess I should have done a little more basic research - aka finding out what had already been done. But on the upside, it was good experience, to at least go through the steps and learn how to use the library and the resources there.

After that, we went to an amazing Greek restaurant - Aristo's.

We got a gift certificate a few months ago there, and we were glad we did! I have never had Greek food before, but let me tell you....A-MAZING. The overall atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. Our appetizer: Tzatziki and Pita bread... mmmm...

My dish and Richard's dish...I can't even try to remember what they were called...
Mine was breaded chicken stuffed with spinach, on top of rice pilaf with a creamy mushroom spinach sauce.
Richards was Beef marinaded in olive oil with spices and good stuff, with fried potatoes and a salad.
(I should write menus, huh)

We had fun, and it was nice to get out of Provo and do something different!



Oh...and I can't forget..
yesterday, we had a pilgrims and Indians dinner to kick off Thanksgiving, at my old roommate Kel (and Ron)'s apartment. Max and Rebecca came too.

We all came as indians..I guess we must have scared off all the pilgrims.

Oh, except Max and Rebecca were Greek Gods...I don't know.
