Road Trip



Over this last weekend, Paul and I had the opportunity to go see our friends get married for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls Temple. I'm glad we were able to make the sealing. We stopped with some other friends on the way for a nice lunch. Our friends GPS was set for Arizona time so we thought we had more time than we actually did. We flew to the temple and made it in record time. We were a little late but they still let us in. The guys are a really close group of friends who grew up together and are/were in the same ward. It was awesome that all of them made it to the sealing except for one person. It was nice to see that David and Katie have a great group of friends. These are some of the pictures we took after the sealing. We also went to a dinner that night and Katies brother's and sister-in-laws. It was great being able to catch up with old friends and to meet new people.

The wedding was on Friday. We also decided to stay for the reception that was on Saturday night. We had time to kill Saturday. There was a lake and park across from the temple. There was a war memorial at that park. Paul and I took a walk around the park and visited the memorial. It was kinda cool. I have an interest in WW II. It was fun being able to see some of this stuff.



Some of our friends stayed for the reception too. They invited us to go to YellowStone with them Saturday afternoon. I was excited because i've never been. I had also wanted to see Old Faithful. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It was beautiful. We stopped along the way taking pics of some really cool spots. We also saw a bald eagle. When we got to the melting pots, it all of a sudden started to hail. Then after that it was cold for awhile. We were wishing we had our coats or warmer clothes. Most of the gysers went off. The steam was smelly but it sure kept us warm. I'm glad we made it to Old Faithful when we did. We only had to wait about 5 minutes. It was perfect timing otherwise we wouldve had to leave earlier.
We made it back ontime for the reception. It was cold but beautiful. Anyways that is our weekend at a glance. Hope everyone has a happy August. Take care.
