Our Get-A-Way

Our little escape to New York was so great! I loved EVERY milli-second! It was so nice to get away and spend some time together. It was just what we needed.

We were able to spend some time in the Sacred Grove. This is the place where Joseph Smith Jr. first saw God, the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. They appeared as two seperate beings. Isn't that wonderful?! The Spirit was just wonderful.












We were also able to visit The Hill Camorah. This is where Joseph Smith Jr. received the Gold Plates. Through the power of God, Joseph Smith Jr. translated these plates into what is now The Book of Mormon. I have read this book and I know, with all my heart, that it is true.











We had a little bit too much fun... but hey, how many people can say they have literally rolled down The Hill Camorah (or done flips off the bench)??? WE CAN!!!

And, of course, since we're totally loaded with money, we got Presidential Treatment on the flight home. Ha. If only.

We were actually put in a teeny, tiny plane in which we were much too close for comfort to waaaaay too many strangers. But we survived. And, home is beautiful.

We can't wait to go back!

I am soooooooo soooooooo SOOOOOO happy you two were able to take a leave-of-absence and go spend time together.

I LOVE all the pictures! Priceless! I especially love the picture of you and Mandy rolling down the hill together. Too bad you couldn't post the video showing you two smashing heads at the bottom! Ha!
