Nauvoo - April 2009

Ed and I made the 3 1/2 hour trip south to Nauvoo, Illinois on Friday in order to visit the temple there!

The first inkling of Spring.

The top of the temple. Ed and I actually got to go up into the highest point of the temple once when we were cleaning there one night. We got to touch the top of the dome and look through the windows across the river and the town of Nauvoo.

Sealing in Nauvoo

On April 4th, I was excited to be able to attend my friend, Keeley's sealing to her fiance, Ben, in the Nauvoo Temple. It was a wonderful day and they couldn't have asked for better weather! It was beautiful! I always remember when Ed and I were sealed almost 8 years ago in the St. Louis Temple whenever I attend a friend's sealing. Wonderful memories!
