For Valentine's Day, Steve and I drove to the Mesa Arts Center to hear violinist, Joshua Bell. It was in a gorgeous venue and we had decent seats for "nosebleed". We were in the balcony but on the very edge close to the stage. Our seats were located in a box like the the top left box you see in the photo. And the next photo shows our view.
Bell played three sonatas - Beethoven, Prokofiev, and Grieg. All three were amazing, of course. As was his pianist.
We had rain all day on Thursday. I am getting so excited for spring desert flowers, thanks to all the rain we have received this winter. Blooming now is this bush shown below. I don't know the name.
The mission office received a TON of missionary packages last week - probably because of Valentine's Day. Here is Elders Richardson and Eilers with boxes for their zone. The next photo shows them again as well as Elders Sapp and Stucki.
Here I am with Sister Winmill who leaves for home on the 26th. I remember when she arrived!
This is a photo of all the senior sister missionaries having lunch at the newly opened, nearby Costa Vida. (Our mission president is CEO of Costa Vida and this particular store is run by one of his sons. All missionaries get half-off prices). It is gluten-free friendly but NOT cilantro-free friendly. Boo.

I will end with three random photos:
The sunflowers on our kitchen table, and a traffic light that neither Steve nor I have ever seen before: A red and a green U-turn light right by the high school here in Anthem.
