I have met Utah-famous people. I met Karl Malone, Bryon Russell and Jeff Hornacek.

No one Hollywood-famous. :)

I have done a lot of these.

I do not want to ride in a helicopter. I have motion sickness so bad!

This was fun.

We hitch-hiked when we got stranded on our first Christmas tree hunting expedition as newlyweds. Luckily that kid from Orem came by and rescued us! But, that is another post for another day. :)
