I guess I should start with a little more about us and what we've been doing....
Logan and I were married here in Gainesville in 2006. Later that year, Logan started taking discussions for the church and was baptized that November. In December 2007 we were blessed with being sealed for time and all eternity in the Orlano Temple. I am so grateful to have been surrounded by family and friends during one of the most important time of our lives.
We are still working on having children. Turns out I have more medical problems than we originally thought. We have yet to give up hope but have not eliminated the options of In Vitro Fertilization or adoption. I know I shouldn't but I often find myself asking, "Why me?" I want nothing more than to be a mother right now and I am hoping that we will have the blessed opportunity to bring children into this world. Until that time, it's work and school to keep us busy.
For Logan's birthday we had the missionary who helped baptize him, Drew, and his cousin visit from Idaho and took a few days off to play. We spent a day relaxing at Busch Gardens and a day driving all over central Florida with a final stop in Daytona Beach. I know we live in Florida but it can get cold here and only two boys from Idaho think its a good idea to go swim in the ocean when it is about 40 degrees!
We had a good few days of laughs, relaxing, and most important spending time with each other away from the woes of work, school, politics, and from everything else this year.
This past summer, Logan's brother Lincoln got married in Seattle. Since we were going up there, we took the opportunity to have a nice long vacation. We flew into Seattle two weeks before the wedding and headed east. We spend a couple days with Shane, my eldest brother, and his family then headed east again. Stopping in Montana we spent a few days with my grandparents and gave Logan a chance to get to
know them better since the only time he met them was briefly amidst all the commotion of a wedding. Continuing on our journey, we stopped and camped in Yellowstone and saw the natural beauty that was created for us to enjoy and marvel. After enjoying the sites and seeing more buffalo than we can count, we packed up our camping gear and headed back on the road again. We stopped in Rexburg, ID, met up with Drew (missionary from mentioned story above) and went to the Rexburg temple. After a quick session and grabbing some lunch we started to make our way back to Seattle.
Once back in Seattle we got to spend time with Logan's family, and enjoy a beautiful wedding. During our stay in Yellowstone, we took over 2,000 photos and by the time the wedding rolled around, we were all pictured out and forgot the camera at the hotel....we didnt even take a single photo!
Below is the only photo we have from our Seattle experience, taken by the photographer at Lincoln and Corina's wedding.
