I mentioned in an earlier post at how well Taylor did on both his GMAT and GRE scores. Well ever since he sent those score to the University of Utah, they've been desperate to have him come to their school. As a result, Taylor was invited as one of 8 people to come to the U last weekend as part of their recruitment weekend. Luckily, he was allowed to bring one guest and he decided to bring me along. :) The whole weekend was wonderful.
We started off on Thursday night by going to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in Murray. We had a gift card to the restaurant from Christmas time as a result of winning the highly controversial Remington family gingerbread house contest and the Cheesecake Factory in Murray is the closest one. We had a delicious dinner and then drove the rest of the way to Salt Lake. The U put us up in a Marriott right on campus and paid for everything while we were there. I had to teach on Friday so I headed back down to Orem while Taylor went to meetings all day where they presented their programs and gave them a taste of what life was like as a student at the U. I made it back up to Salt Lake that night just in time to join him at a nice dinner at a mexican restaurant (also fully covered by the U). 
Saturday morning we woke up early, ate our free Marriott breakfast buffet (it normally costs 13$ a person!) and headed up to the Canyons resort in Park City. The U paid for us to rent skis, get a lift ticket and even paid for our lunch at the resort! The day was beautiful, maybe one of the best days of skiing I've ever had. The resort had had new snow that week so there was nice powder, it was sunny and clear and it wasn't overly crowded (It helps that the Canyons resort is HUGE!) We skied all day and then headed back to our hotel to get cleaned up.

This is Taylor in his natural state on the mountain :)We went out to dinner that night with my best friend Janelle, who I don't get to see as often since she moved to Salt Lake. We stayed our last night in the hotel and then came home Sunday morning in time for church. It was a great weekend and a fun little retreat for us. I guess these are just some of the perks I get for marrying a brilliant man like Taylor!
