Utah Trip Day 2

I wanted to upload the picture of us in front of this painting, oh well. This is in the conference center and is huge






In Park City.


In the swimming pool at my parents hotel.
On Wednesday, I started my day by going to the Jordan River Temple early in the morning to do initiatories for some ancestors. That Temple was a block away from where we were staying. Then we all headed out to Temple square. We were so excited to see the temple. We took a tour of the conference center. I wasn't expecting to feel such a wonderful spirit there. Yet, it was all I could do to keep from crying.
Next we went to the Beehive house then to the tabernacle. After that we went to the visitors center. The Cristus was amazing. They played a presentation that got me thinking a lotout how I can improve on keeping the commandments.
After that Christopher Rees, Albert's trainer from the mission, took us to Park City. It was so cold but an awesome littleTwn. We ate the best pizza ever at Banjo Pizza.
To end our night, we went swimming at my parents hotel, Little America, in Downtown Salt Lake. It was an awesome pool and jacuzzi. The water was warm like bath water so it was even enjoyable for Sammy. He loves the water

Utah Trip Part 1

Rosie's Bridal shower given to her by a member of Joe's family.


I couldn't believe we saw this in Utah. "If I can't see the gonorrhea, is it still there?" THEY HAVE GONORRHEA IN UTAH?!?!?!One of the very few scenic parts of our drive.

At a gas station in Wyoming. Notice the snow.....

This week we took a road trip out west to Utah for my sister Rosie's wedding. We left on Monday at noon and were planning on arriving at 4pm on Tuesday. We made excellent time and arrived at 1pm. We have unanimously decided that Nebraska and Wyoming has a whole bunch of nothing. As soon as we hit Wyoming we realized how unprepared for the weather we were. There was a lot of snow and was even really cold and snowy in Utah. It snowed everyday we were there. Luckily I thought to pack Benji and Sammy Jackets. Albert and I however had to suffer.
When we got there we stayed with Albert's trainer from the mission, Christopher Rees, and his parents. They were so great.
I got to go to Rosie's bridal shower that night. It was a good shower. The best was the fondue desert.
