Road Trip!

Todd's best friend and past mission companion Ronald Ward Halbert III (cool name huh!?) got married this past weekend in the Salt Lake Temple. We decided to take a road trip to the wedding and had such a fun trip! We left on Wednesday after Ruby's birthday party (see slideshow from Jane HERE) and got to St. George that night at around 12am. My aunt Kathy and uncle Ben have an amazing house there overlooking all of St. George and it is gorgeous! We woke up a little late the next morning, hit Cafe Rio and headed up to American Fork. We stayed with Todd's cousins Julene&Gary, thanks guys! Your house is beautiful and we had so much fun with you! We had a wedding dinner that night and then got some much needed rest. Friday was the wedding at 1pm, but before that I had to get some shopping in. I figured since we were in Utah I should use it to my advantage and get some modest dresses! How could Todd say no to that!? After some shopping we headed to the SLC temple. It was awesome! We had never been inside so that was so fun. We have a friend serving a mission in Temple Square and we just happened to see her walking around, so that was so fun too! After the sealing and pictures we went to get some cheesecake and a snack, where we saw my friend AGAIN! It was her p-day so they went to get pedicures and cheesecake. Afterwards we headed to the reception which was beautiful and then headed to bed. Saturday we drove home and stayed in St. George again. We were able to do a session at the St. George Temple...amazing! If you have never been to that temple put it on your to-do list! Its so awesome inside. We got home yesterday around 5 and ate and went to bed. Back to work for us (and school for Todd!) Thanks again Gardners and Judds, you guys are so great to let us stay with you!! P.S. My pictures are a little out of order but the pictures of the animals are all in a room in my aunt and uncles house. I have seen most of them before but Todd could not believe all the animals! It looked like Cabelas...so cool!
