Sisters


I just wanted to take a second and let my little sisters know how much I love them! I miss them so much out here in Pittsburgh. They are my best friends and I can't wait to hang out with them both. I wish they could have spent more time with Emmy before we came out because now she is getting so big! For those of you who don't know Heather is super smart and beautiful. She is very talented at basically anything she tries. She loves to steal my shoes and clothes at any chance :) I can tell her anything. Ashley is the funniest 13 year old you will ever meet. The stuff she comes up with always so random. I believe in my birthday card she said, " I love you so much it ought to be illegal." Ha ha. who thinks of that? She can brighten anyones day with her bright, vibrant smile. I am so grateful I have such wonderful sisters

The Fun Begins


We picked up Scott's parents from the airport last week. They flew out to come visit and come see the church history sites with us. It was so much fun!! We started off with a dinner cruise around Pittsburgh. We all had fun eating, dancing, and looking at beautiful Pittsburgh.

Kirtland


Kirtland was my favorite part of the trip. Calvin knew someone that was serving a couple mission at the visitors center. He took us on our own personal tour. We got to learn all about what happened in Kirtland. I got to sit in the same room that Joseph Smith received over half of the Doctrine and Covenants. The room of school of the Prophets had such an amazing feeling, that is where they set apart the quorum of the twelve apostles. Many people had visions of the Savior there. So many things we have in the gospel were established in Kirtland. Many of the buildings are the same. It was so interesting and the spirit was so strong in there. I never knew much about Kirtland before the trip. I learned so much about the restoration.

Niagra Falls


So neat! We took The Maid of the Mist and go to go right underneath the falls. It was unreal! It completely surrounded us. I swear it is like a mile or more of straight waterfall. We got so wet. It was so beautiful, it was definitely something we will never forget

The Pageant


The Hill Cumorah Pageant was so spectacular! There were so many special effects. It told basically the entire story of the Book of Mormon. There were over 600 people in the production and the stage was constantly being lit up with fire, water, lightning, or Jesus descending from the sky. I strongly recommend it! I am so grateful we got to go! This is Emmy at the production.
