Nauvoo

This last week one of my best friends got married in Nauvoo. Devin was my good friend all through high school and when we came to college we were imediate roomates for 3 semesters. So when he got married me and Derek decided it was worth the expense to fly out there and support him. He was so happy and It really turned out to be an amazing wedding. The Nauvoo temple is beautiful. I loved the hardwood floors and the spiral staircase.


Even though we went for the wedding, we had to take advantage of the fact that we were in Nauvoo and look around a little. We drove down to Salt Lake on wednesday and stayed with Venita and Jeph for the night. Thanks to them for letting us stay there. We really appreciated it. Then Thursday morning we got up early and flew to Kansas City. There we rented a car and drove to Nauvoo. We got there after everything was closed so we hung out with the Garner family that evening. Later that night Devin showed up, around 12:30, and Derek, Richard Garner, Devin and I stayed up and talked and joked around until 3 in the morning. Devins last night single!!
The next morning we got up at 8 and left to go see Carthage and look around Nauvoo. That was really fun. Nauvoo is an amazing city to look around. I would sugest it to anyone who has ever wanted to.
This is the car we rented.

Carthage Jail


This is my favorite statue of Joseph and Hyrum

I have a lot more picture then what are on here but I decided to just put some of the good ones. Even though we are even more like "starving college students," it was definetly worth it. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Valentines Day

I know that valentines day was a long time ago, but I am a little slow. So here I go! This valentines day was the first time in my life that I had a valentine. So I asked a really cute girl is she would be my valentine, and she had to think about it for a long time. Luckily she said yes! So then I had to think of somthing to do. I found out about this sleigh ride they were doing just outside of town. That was really fun. The only problem is that it is really cold in rexburg and riding on a sleigh for an hour was pretty cold. It was really fun though and we had a good time.



After we got done with the sleigh ride I decided that we needed to do something else fun. There is a large ballroom on the second floor of one of the buildings on main street. I asked Kimberly's roomates to set up a little table with some desserts on it. So after we left the sleigh ride and went to this ballroom and had a little dessert.

It was really fun. I think she liked it.
