Us Together

Took this shot at a wedding last night - fun!

Back from Russia

Made it back from Moscow yesterday from a work trip. Was neat to see the Kremlin and other sites around the city. Learned a bit about Russian history and got to meet some interesting people.

Wonderful News

Forgive my boastfulness but I'm now allowed to tell--Harry received an AMAZING promotion! I have no idea how to explain what he does, but it's still with Abbott in Chicago. He's very excited about it though and in this economy I couldn't be more relieved and happy for him. Love My Go-Getter Man!!!!

Utah Vacation

Had a nice vacation to Utah; just returned today. We spent half the vacation in southern Utah, and the other half near Salt Lake City.

A few favorite things were seeing temple square, where we happened to meet a former companion of mine while touring the conference center. He plays organ for the Mormon Tabernacle choir, and let Courtney and Hal play the organ.

We also had some fun hikes in Zion National park (lower and upper Emerald Pools hikes), Bryce Canyon (Navajo Loop and Queensway hikes) and a visit to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I also took Courtney and Hal on a longer hike to Sundial mountain in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

We spent a day taking a tour and volunteering at the Best Friends Animal Shelter near Kanab, which was pretty cool for the kids.

When visiting Provo, we took a prospective students tour of BYU, and also drove by the missionary training center.
