Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees was great this year! Nick and I went up with our friends Holly and Aaron for a nice evening in Salt Lake.

I remember going up when I was a kid and Nick had never been before. so this year I decided it would be fun to go. So we bought tickets. We all piled into the car to go see the trees. We started the night of at Sweet Tomato. ( great restaurant for the family, if you like soup and salad) and then we headed to the festival. It was really neat to see all the different trees that people had put together for loved ones that had passed away or had amazing miracles bless their lives.

I was surprised to see one. It touched my heart. There was an amazing 3rd grade teacher at Grandview when I was in elementary school. Her name was Val Bleazard. She passed away while my little brother was in her class a few years ago. Her family had put a tree together for her. It was so sweet. They called it "Love Never Melts" . I didn't go that night expecting to see anyone I knew. when I saw her face on the picture under the tree, it really hit home.
