This May Scare You A Bit :)

Ok, by popular demand, I'm posting these pictures...............against my will! Hehe! There have been a few people tell me to post my wisdom teeth pictures, so, ok, I guess I will. Everyone has to do it right???? Everyone has to go through the shame of a fat face! ............accept for my SISTER!!!!!!!!!!! Ahh, I cant believe she was born without wisdom teeth! I had all four, not fair, not fair! And I actually swelled quite a bit more, but we took the pics because we thought my face was fat enough, and then it got worse! So, I got my wisdom teeth out about 2 weeks before we left for Arkansas, because they started to really hurt me. So I thought, I'd might as well get them done. So....I did, and I didn't feel a thing, until later, but then, I have to say that I healed up really well. And Kade took such good care of me, he blended all my food so I could eat! What a great hubby. He also made me laugh in the above pic, which I was not appreciative of!.....because it hurt like crazy to laugh!
I can't believe what a different person I look like!

All back to normal!!!!!!!!!!! Yeeeeeey! I can chew now!

Sunday Drive to Pinnacle Mountain!

So we decided that Sunday's are going to be our explore day, just to check out places of Arkansas that we have never been before, and I talked to a local guy and he said that Pinnacle Mountain was pretty cool and that we would have to go there before we left. So, we decided to take a trip out there, Its pretty much the only mountain around, and its only about 30 minutes or so. It was very beautiful! We could actually see above the trees, the terrain that we are living in! It was great! And these farmlands have lots of yellow blossoms right now. The scenic overlook was nice. We read a little plaque that told us the elevation of Pinnacle Mountain and we were thinking it was going to be a few thousand feet or so, nope!!! Its a whopping 1100 feet! I was so surprised! It just looks big because there are no mountains here:)











The tiny little mountain in the distance is Pinnacle Mountain:) hehe!

The Old Mill

So I have to say that Arkansas is absolutely beautiful!!!!! I have never seen so many trees in all my life! I just keep telling my family that, but really they are everywhere and so thick! And there is this really cool little park by our house with an old mill in it, that is so beautiful! Pictures really don't do it justice! I am liking Arkansas so far! :)
This is and inside view............kinda neat I thought!


The little dot you can see in the water is a turtle floating around. There were lots of them.
This is a bridge that you can walk over, the view from on top is so awesome!

Oh I can finally blog!

This is the Oklahoma City Temple that we visited (Scroll down and you can read the story)
The Albuquerque New Mexico Temple (My pictures are in reverse order, but Oh well, you get the idea :) And the pic below is the Monticello, Utah Temple.

Wheeew! Things have finally slowed down a bit and I can relax. And I have internet! Yeey for that! Well we sold our house, moved across the country and are doing something completely new! Crazy! But it is good. We did not know if our house was going to sale or not, the banks are hard to work with these days, so we just said, whatever happens is meant to be. And..........the sale went through, we moved our stuff out on Monday and Tuesday, the 12th and 13th, then, we went to Salt Lake on Wed. to sign papers for closing, and headed to Arkansas the next day! It was all kind of blur, but it was amazing how everything just worked our perfectly! We were able to stay in our house up until the day we closed, which was absolutely great! We could not have asked for a better scenario. We feel like the Lord has blessed us so much! And the drive down was long, but it was so nice to hang out with Kade the whole time. We were able to visit 3 temples on our way down which was a really neat experience. It took a bit longer to get there but it was worth it. We stopped at the Monticello temple in Utah, on Thursday, did a session, then went to Farmington and stayed with Kade's dad. Then got up the next day and drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico and went to the temple there, then drove to Oklahoma City, were we stayed the night. Then, got up the next day (Saturday) and did a session at the Oklahoma Temple, and then drove to Little Rock, Arkansas! I can't wait to go to the Memphis Temple, but that will be a bit later I'm sure. :) So thats the update with us!!!!!!! :) We miss and love you all!
