Our Anniversary!

Our 12th anniversary was on November 7th and we decided to take a trip back to Manti (where we were married) to spend time in the Temple. Bryan's parents came from Colorado to watch the kids while we were gone and the kids had a BLAST!! They went to McDonalds (twice), Applebees, swimming, bowling, out to ice cream, to the Temple Visitor Center and shopping. What more could a kid want?!

We stayed in a cute Bed and Breakfast right down the hill from the Temple. After a slight scenic detour to check out Fish Lake, we got to Manti, checked in and then went to Ephraim to look around and see what movies were there. We ate dinner then went to Mega Mind (really hilarious movie). It was a fun evening.

The next day after a home cooked breakfast, we did a session at the Manti Temple (a live session) and then we did sealings for a while. It was fun to be back in the Temple and remember our wedding day. We asked if we could see the "blue room" where we were married but they had a sealing going on in the room and we didn't want to wait that long to see it. So we went back, rook naps, read books, watched the BYU game, watched Utah get kicked, and then we went for a walk along Main Street looking for a place to buy little things for the kids. We ate a wonderful dinner at the B&B that night to celebrate, although it was a day early.

Sunday we had another home cooked breakfast, checked out, walked around the Temple, sat and talked for quite a while, and then drove home. Ethan sent us a text saying that they were going to the St. George Temple for a while (Grandma's way of distracting him from the fact he was fasting, great job!!) so we decided to drop by and see if we could find them. The kids were surprised and happy to see us! It was fun to watch them recognize us and then run up to us.

After a wonderful dinner and visits, we were all ready for bed. This morning after the bus left, Grandma and Grandpa Pack headed for home. The kids will miss them and we really appreciate them coming to help us out!!

Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!! Love you!
