Trip back to Utah! Nauvoo!

After Visiting Wisconsin we went down to Nauvoo. I really wanted to go there and I planned the whole thing out. It was really neat to see so much history! There were hardly any people because the pagent had ended the weekend before we got there, so we got to see just about everything! We also went out to Carthage with was a good experience. I am so humbled by the sacrifices of our anscestors and thankful for them too!My Daddy's claim to fame: a privy. He participated in the excavation project in Nauvoo and found this! How cool/weird is that? He made me promise to take a picture.

Our friend Katherine was in Nauvoo the same time we were! We got to see some sites together and go to a concert that night. We also got to meet her new little girl Hailey! She was soo cute, even in her sleep!

The Trip Back to Utah! Wisconsin!

Brandon and I were planning on visiting his mission this fall, but we were so close when we were in Indiana, we decided to go through there on the way home. It was SO much fun! I thought it would be really fun for Brandon, and well...maybe a little boring for me, BUT luckily I was wrong! I really enjoyed meeting the people Brandon served. We even got to go to church in the Oneida Branch where he served on the reservation. I was surprised at how many people recognized Brandon immediately, even though it had been 4 yrs to the date since Brandon had first come to that area. Amazingly, we were able to hit up all his areas. It was really fun. Also, a cute couple Mike and Dorothy, that Brandon served when he was out there let us stay with them. It was so much fun to see around there farm and hang out. We loved it!
