Yesterday I had the pleasure of a visit from my wonderful friend, Jeannine. I have known Jay since I was 11, and she is one my favorite people in this world! Anyhow, she and her girls are in Utah visiting and they came to spend the day with us in Salt Lake. We had tons o' fun bowling & eating. Then we decided to go downtown to temple square. My family opted to bow out of this activity, I guess they feel like they go there enough. Anyhow, Jay's mom had joined us so it was us three and Jay's 2 sweet girls.
At the end of our day we decided to take a horse drawn carriage ride around the city. The girls were in heaven, and I knew my own girls would be sad they decided not to come, but that's what you get for thinking the same old thing is boring. ;) We were talking to the driver and we discovered that she and the Jones family actually have a couple connections, in fact her brother is best friends with Jeannine's brother-in-law, they both just left for Iraq. Anyhow, it was one of those "It's a small world" moments.
During the course of our ride, though, she was talking about how long she had been driving and why she started doing it and how much fun it is. It is something I always thought would be fun, she said she didn't have any driving experience, with horses that is, until she started. I thought "Wow, I could actually do this too!"
So this is my dream job right now. Check out the carriage rides when you are downtown in Salt Lake City, and keep an eye out, you may just seeing me driving one of the carriages someday! :)
