It's funny... you really don't know how awesome it is to be with them until you live on the opposite side of the country from them. I really do miss everyone... especially my mom, but I am so glad she is just a phone call away. Haha I think I have learned how to cook more of her recipes this year than I did living at home. Moms are great aren't they? They are always there for you, and never complain every time you ask them for help. They just willingly give give give. Adam and I were so lucky to be blessed with such great mothers. Time with family really is the best!
Another adventure Adam and I had during Memorial Day weekend was a perfect, much needed, trip to Palmyra, NY. We went to the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center, the Sacred Grove, the Joseph Smith house/ Farm, the Print Shop of the Book of Mormon, and last, but not least, the Temple. And, no. We did not go during the pageant. I am glad we didn't though. It was perfect. Just Adam and I and the cute little village of Palmyra. ;) The spirit and peace we felt there was a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our favorite part was watching the new Joseph Smith movie at the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center. It does a great job of depicting the life of Joseph Smith. If you watch it, just know that you WILL cry.
Here are some pics of our vacationings recently :)
