I was raised in Monticello, Utah, on the Utah side of the four corners where New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah all meet. In this area, sixty years before I was born, the original Mormon pioneers crossed some of the most torturous terrain that you [...]
Temple Square is famous for its beautiful flowers, but this weekend was even more special. The spring stars were out and brides, kids, and families came out to enjoy and celebrate this beautiful day. If you have ever planted bulbs in the fall, you know [...]
