The Most Romantic Evening of my Life!

A Night in Salt Lake
by
Katy Taylor

One night, on a beautiful June evening, Katy and Allison went to Salt Lake City to enjoy the beauties of Temple Square, and to spend the night with Emily Ensign while she was playing hostess at Youth Conference.

They went exploring and found the newly refurbished tabernacle. While they were there, the sister missionaries demonstrated the amazing acoustics by dropping a pin and shredding newspaper at the podium while the audience sat in the back. Allison and Katy were very impressed and felt that they had surely wandered into a magical building!

After the great concert in the Tabernacle, they decided to go see Jesus in the visitors center.

After, they decided to go downstairs and visit all the prophets of the Old Testament and Book of Mormon. Moses was looking especially scary that evening and Allison and Katy were a little frightened by the sight of him.

Allison was getting really terrified so they decided to go for a walk outside and enjoy the sites.

Allison stopped to smell the roses,

While Katy stopped to swing on the light post!

They took a rest at the beautiful mirrored lake where all the happy couples get engaged. Katy had something else in mind so she refrained from proposing just yet.

They decided to go play in the elevators for a minute before leaving the premises.

It was so fun that they didn't want the ride to end. But it did.

They decided to go say goodbye to Joseph before heading off to their residence for the evening.


While at Ft. Douglas, Katy decided that the conditions were perfect for a roomate proposal. Katy and Allison had been such good friends for so long that it only seemed right that they take the next step and move in together in the fall.


Allison was so overcome by joy and emotions that she began to cry tears of happiness!


Katy was thrilled with Allison's acceptance.


That night they had a great time talking, until they got into an argument.


And they got into a pillow fight. When the feathers had settled, they went to bed with a wonderful notion that there would be many more of these kinds of evenings to come in the future.

You are two of the silliest girls in all of America.

May all your roomate dreams come true.

you should take allison to moss ledge and listen to music near the waterfall.

Also, not to be too technical but it appears that Allison stopped to smell the geraniums, but if you must call it a rose you must.

Yes, it was indeed quite a romantic night. And I love that you gave everyone the play by play! Reminds me of a certain cartoon of old we once re-enacted if you know what I mean...

You are so funny! All the best to you and your dear roommate.

Elevator rides reminded me of when we were little and got stuck on the elevator during a Disney vacation. Do you remember that?
