Arizona-First Update

On Thursday, Stewart and I left Salt Lake City for the sunny skies of ARIZONA. We arrived with Stewart's parents and have met up with a bunch of Stewart's family for his cousins wedding in Prescott. We are going to be here until Monday.

The first stop of the trip was over to the Mesa Temple for a private tour with the temple president. Have YOU ever had one of those kind of tours? No? Oh that's too bad because it's really neat. Stewart's great-grandfather is LeConte Stewart. He painted some murals for the Mesa temple so we were able to go and see them and got a tour of the whole temple. After that we picked some holy citrus fruit from the temple grounds. It was my first time picking grapefruits from a tree and you know they tasted better because they were grown on holy ground.

Friday we went and wandered downtown Prescott. It was so fun and I LOVE Prescott! It seems like a fun town to live in. We went to a rehearsal dinner even though we had nothing to do with the wedding so it was just yummy food for us.

Today we have just had crazy fun. We shopped, learned more about the Calvary, went to the wedding, danced, ate, shopped, and went to a movie. Stewart twisted and twirled me as usual and I was so kind as so loan him out to some other gals so they could have fun too. I know, I know I'm so wonderfully selfless...and humble.

After the wedding we went to a movie. We saw Taken. SO GOOD! It was mine and Stewart's second time seeing it and it was just as good as the first time. We were a little nervous that no one else would like it since we were seeing it based on our recommendation. It made us happy when during a car chase a bad guy runs his car into a bulldozer scoop and gets killed and Stewart's mom leaned over and said, "he deserved that."

So as you can see we are having fun and are glad that we have 2 more days away from responsibility. We are going to church tomorrow and then to go see a ghost town! spooky! Don't worry about Eli either. When I called him today I was in the middle of a sentence and he said "bye" and hung up on me. He was too busy having fun with cousins.
