The Best Two Years

No I did not go on a mission, but I did want to announce that Matt and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversay on June 29th. Some may say no big deal, but to them I say I work in a divorce office and it is a big deal. I can't believe the number of people that don't make it that long, enough said.

This year for our celebration we went to Tepanyaki, feel free to check it out http://www.my-tepanyaki.com/. The food was fabulous and we enjoyed the live cooking show. Just in case you are wondering Matt did catch the shrimp in his mouth and I did not attempt it as I don't eat seafood.

Honey, I just wanted to say thanks for the best two years I love you.

Nauvoo--The City Beautiful

We will have to start the Nauvoo post with the conclusion of our trip because it is the best family picture of the whole gang. Here we all are after all the site seeing whirlwind. We decided to venture out for a more rousing activity a la go-carting. Notice how great our hair looks after a few laps around the track.

I swear I can't take them anywhere, nevertheless here is my family in Nauvoo after driving approximately 22 hours. Here is the sign out front of the Nauvoo temple built in this century. The temple looks gorgeous from the outside and even lovelier on the inside.

Here's Spencer expressing his excitement for this trip, notice the money in his hand. You'll never guess how much he paid for a steamboat pencil sharpener, so I'll tell you--$4.00. Ahh, tourism.

Here's what I do best--check off everything on the list, okay so maybe I am the itinerary nazi.

Melissa loves this game, can't you tell?

Stick pull anyone?

This is our favorite missionary, Sister Jones, we got the tour from her at the John Taylor home and the Wilford Woodruff home. What a cool mission!! We sure appreciated her enthusiasm and willingness to put up with our endless questions.
