Life

Wow, I can't believe it has been over two months since I last posted. We moved across country to the midwest. We live in a small town outside of St. Louis! What a change! But in a great way. There is so much to catch up on (Disneyland, moving, vacation in Utah), not sure if I ever will. I will just start from the most recent.

We went to Nauvoo last weekend. What a great time we had. It was so much fun. We drove the 3.5 hours early on Saturday and came home on Sunday. The weather was perfect on Saturday. Josh and I hadn't ever been there before, so it was exciting for both of us! Avery's favorite part was dressing up in the pioneer clothes. We had a hard time getting her away from that! There was such a great spirit there. It was so inspiring to think about all the faith, courage, dedication, and love those pioneers had. I made me want to be a better person.

We had such a great time and can't wait to go back!

I've been wondering about you. I only did a quick pass in nauvoo but it would be fun to go back now that the kids are old enough to do some of the activities

Yay!! Glad to see you back at it! I didn't realize you guys are so close to Nauvoo! That's awesome that you can take quick trips out there. How fun is that. Parker is getting too big. I miss your little family!
