Illinois

Last week I got the chance to go to Illinois with my mom and sister. We had a lot of fun together :) My mom had her 30 year high school reunion so we got to meet all of her friends from high school.. It was quite interesting.

Then we had the chance to go to Nauvoo and Carthage Jail. It was really amazing. I learnned so much about Joesph Smith and what it was like for him when he was in Jail and it was awesome to see where Joesph Smith and Brigham Young and their families lived. I think everyone needs to take the chance to go there because its amazing :)

Kayaking and More Bowling

On Sunday, Nathan and I had the chance to go Kayaking before church,(since our ward meets at 2:00). It was really fun. It was my first time so I was kind of nervous, but it was actually way easy! Its actually nice out here when your in the water playing:) Nathan likes to make sure we go out and do things whenever we can, (which is sundays). He won't ever lay around the apartment and do nothing.. We always have to do something, which is fine with me since I'm at the apartment almost all day anyways.

Today Nathan took me out for lunch and bowling for my birthday. It was fun, we didn't know what else to do so we just went bowling.. again.. But it was nice to be able to spend a little time with him before I leave for a eight days. My birthday isn't actually til tomorrow, but i'm not going to be around tomorrow. Nathan is letting me go to Illinois for a week with my mom and sister. My mom grew up in Illinois and she is having her 30 year high school reunion. So were gonna go visit some family that we don't ever see and go to Nauvoo for a few days :) I'm pretty excited about Nauvoo, it will be fun :)

Bowling

So Nathan and I finally did something when he got off of work. We went bowling and had tons of fun. We went to lunch earlier in the day, and then as soon as he got off we did some bowling. Of course Nathan beat me, but we still had a ton of fun! :)

Trip to Houston

Last weekend RJ, Katie, Nathan and I had the chance to drive down to Houston to visit with my grandparents. We got there on Saturday night and went to a nice Resteraunt and got some awesome steaks.. Then on Sunday they took us to the Houston Space Center. It was so fun. This was mine and RJ'S 2nd time there , but it was Nathan and Katie'sm first time. It is a really cool experience. It is so crazy what you find out there. It is unbelievable how much money and time is spent just for NASA. So after our fun filled day at the space center we drove down to Galvastan where the Gulf of Mexico is. It was nice to finally see the beach agaiin. It has been way too long, and you should have seen Nathans eyes light up. He was checking out every single wave and every single surfer. He definatly was wishing he was out there surfing too. Poor Guy..
So right after that we headed back to my grandparents house where my grandpa decided to BBQ so steak for us. It was really yummy. So right after that we all went to bed and then woke up early the next morning so that we could get the boys back to work on time :)
