Soooo Curious

Sophia was so curious when we got home, she barreled over the suitcases and took everything out....she was there a while. Why is it that they have the coolest stores in Utah?

Zion's National Park

If you ever get a chance...you must see it!

Southern Utah

The Rets Family, Shopping & In N Out Burger. A great trio!

Our dear friends (and Nicolas' bestfriend) Anton and Marie Rets.

Bob and I with Anton and Marie the day we left. Some of you in Rochester may remember Elder Rets, the awesome Russian missionary who served in Rochester for 2 years. He's now married to a wonderful woman, is taking his boards to become a doctor in the U.S. and they are expecting a baby in April!!

We LOVE The Christensen Family

One of the major highlights of our trip was our awesome visit with The Christensen Family. They are so special to us, their daughter Alisa, our first missionary, taught Bob and I the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have been so blessed by this amazing family. They have always treated us as family, have been there thru difficult circumstances and have supported us spiritually over the last 5 years. When you need advice, guidance..this is where you go. They came to our first endowment and our family sealing. They're so special!!

We had a blast with them. Spent the day at Temple Square, did an endowment session and had an amazing dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We spent a few days at their beautiful home and loved every second of it. Thank you!

It Took 40 Years To Build.

The Angel Moroni, that the everlasting gospel may be preached to all the world.

The grand spires.

The history.

Beautiful.

The Salt Lake City Temple is my favorite temple. I was very excited to have Bob in Salt Lake City, I've been there several times - this was Bob's first visit. I LOVE this temple and was very excited for him to see it, especially the insude. Simply stated...GORGEOUS. There is so much history to this temple, it's SOOO cool. GOSH, I LOVE the history of this church! You can find more about the history of this temple here.

Lovely.

WHO??

Johnny Baby and Victoria..

A gaggle of crazy girls and a man trying to keep us under control!

The place...the beautiful Salt Lake City Temple. This was the first live sealing Bob and I attended since we were sealed 4 years ago. This was one of the top 3 spiritual and emotional experiences we have had since joining the church. Victoria has been my Best Friend since 1996, she taught me a new way of life by introducing us to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It has forever changed us and we are grateful.
