Todd and I were lucky enough to meet his family in Nauvoo, and spend a few days with them there. I went when I was a kid, but this was Todd and his families first time there. It was soooo much fun!! We saw everything (busy 2 days), and we even got to go to a session in the new temple!
I loved every second of it, and I cant wait for my next trip there. Honestly, if you haven't ever been....GO!! It is one of the most inspiring and uplifting trips you can go on. Kids love it, teens love it, and adults cant get enough!! Its the best place on earth!! Here are a few pics of our journey!!

Seriously?? Todd and Amanda!!
One of the most rewarding and exciting parts of the trip for me was the Browning and Webb homes. These are both my family, and I feel so blessed to have had the chance to go in and learn a little more about them. The Webb's were blacksmiths and were asked to stay behind for a while to build wagons for the pioneers. The Browning's were Gunsmiths, and were also asked to stay behind. The spirit that I felt in these homes were undeniable!! I am so proud of family, and my heritage.
It was a great trip!! We miss these guys already!!
