Anniversary Adventure

I got home at 10 p.m. on Wednesday only to turn around and leave Thursday morning with Merril and Mark for Glacier National Park. We're calling it our anniversary trip even though it was a work trip. We've been so busy with YM and YW camps that it made it hard to get away. We dropped Mark off in Idaho with the Phillipps. We kept on driving. We slept in Billings, MT.

Made it to the race and set up the repeater.

We decided to go on a hike in Glacier. Originally, we were just going to hike to a waterfall but Iceberg Lake wasn't too much further. It ended up being 10 miles overall. We were prepared. We brought 1 water bottle a piece and it was very cool weather but we should've at least had some food and more water. 

Oh well, we know better but we still had a great time. 

It's beautiful!

I was beat by the end but a restaurant at the trailhead made it doable.

We went back to the hotel to sleep and then Merril had to get up early to check the radios. After the race, we took down the antenna and saw a band of wild horses. 

We left Glacier at noon and got home at 3 a.m. It was fantastic to be together. I still love to have adventures with him! 

Friend Adventure: Disneyland

I'll be the first to say Disneyland isn't really my jam, but when your friends want to go, it's not about the destination—it's about the people you're with. So, of course, let's do it! We had time blocked out but couldn't come up with a plan. We met at Sara's house at 11:00, decided to go to Disneyland by 11:30, and by 1:00 p.m., I was on my way. We chatted in the car while Laurie booked the tickets. We found matching shirts at Target for our day! 

We were waiting for the Peter Pan ride.

We did everything except Pirates of the Caribbean, which was closed for extensive repairs. The next day, we woke up and went to the Yorba Linda Temple.

I went into the Celestial Room and started to cry. This will be the temple for Juliet's mission and it's lovely. It is lovely but it's also far away. I miss my kids so much when they're on their missions! I'm looking forward to Jack coming home in about a month! Yay!
