After a day of shopping and eating at all the wonderful stores and museums, cherry blossoms, ume designs, slavy, rovalis, roosters, union station and so many more, its a perfect time to grab a cup of cocoa at uncommon grounds or grounds for coffee and walk over to the Christmas village to see the lights. Ogden is a very special town, don't forget that and never take it for granted. Sometimes we try so hard to find something more, something better than what we already have that we miss whats right in front of us. Lets all take a moment to revel in what is already here and not wait until its too late. You only live once; but if you live it right, once is enough. - Adam Marshall Labels: calendar, cherry blossoms, events, grounds, indie ogden, ogden utah, roosters, rovalis, slavy, ume, uncommon grounds, union station xoxo, explore, create and have fun ‹Older Monday, December 6, 2010
