Trip part 1

July 24, at Grandma and Grandpa Western's house. They celebrated their 50th anniversary that weekend. I am holding Afton Western, my neice. That day we walked to church and along the way named ant hills that we found.
July 25, me and Olivia Western. We had pulled over somewhere in I think Kansas to eat our breakfast: bacon, eggs, pancakes. If it wasn't for the Westerns, Scott and I wouldn't have made it to Missouri at the time that we did!
Shirley may trust me too much...I convinced her to paint a wall in her front room orange! Once the room was all put together, it looked awesome. I love the orange and to Scott it's Mexican orange. But we all love it. I also got Shirley to cut her hair super short, just like when we got married. It's adorable.
This is melted peachios. We had another bag of melted gummy worms. Shirley's husband Erik ate both bags on our way to Nauvoo Illinois. Yuck!

Two years previously in May 2008, Scott and I were in Nauvoo for Rachel and Brad's wedding. We were just engaged. And there we are married 2 years and back in Nauvoo!

Scott and I went to the Nauvoo pageant after Pete's wedding.

Trip part 2

We left Missouri August 4th and got into Salt Lake City, Utah. We stayed with the Mills and their awesome place. This is the SLC temple where Dallin and Colleen Steele got married August 6th.
Waiting outside!
Dallin and Colleen Steele!
That night we went out to dinner with Mark and Katrina's friends for Mark's birthday. We later went to the Nickel Arcade that's there in Provo.
Scott and I driving to California. We left Saturday August 7th.
We stopped at Cove Fort in southern Utah. They had some cool stuff, including free lunch.
We drove through Las Vegas on our way to southern California. It was Scott's first time. It was super hot and we just drove through it to keep our time on the drive!

2 Year anniversary

Scott and I spent our anniversary at the spa, getting pedicures, and eating at the hat with friends and family, and a concert dancing in the park in southern California. It was such a great day!
