Last week Zac and I got to see Zac's brother, Paul, sealed in the Palmyra, New York temple to Katherine. It was so beautiful. I love weddings! I am so excited that Katherine is part of the Family now. She is great and so much fun. Paul and Katherine are a perfect fit for each other. And we are all very happy that Paul found someone to contain his craziness! :) Haha! Katherine looked so beautiful! It was such a great wedding.

As you can see it was a beautiful day. It was warm and sunny! The Palmyra Temple looks out over the Sacred Grove. There is such a special feeling there.
While we were in New York we also got to visit some church sites. The first day we were there we visited the Sacred Grove and the Joseph Smith home. It was amazing! Afterwards I was talking to the sister missionaries who serve there and one of them made the comment that it was hard to be a site sister because you don't get to bring people to the gospel. That sister may not be baptizing people but she sure did strengthen my testimony of the gospel and the truth of the Book of Mormon.
This is in the top of a replica of Joseph Smith's home. It is built on the original foundation. And look who is in this picture?! Andy!!! He is finally home from his mission in Brazil. It was really great getting to hang out with him again. He is still just the same. Andy was actually my very first home teacher at BYU.
This is all of Zac's siblings and me on top of the Hill Cumorah. This is the first time in five years that his family has been all together. That made this trip extra sweet. It was cold, rainy and windy this day so we didn't stay there too long. But gosh it sure is green and beautiful back there.
The last day we were in New York we went to Niagara Falls!!! It was amazing! We got to go in these tunnels that go right next to the falls and even under them. It was spectacular. Zac and I had a great time. And it was a much needed break from Provo. It was great to not have to worry about work or school and just hangout with Zac's family. I am really lucky to have married into such a fun family!

I'm glad you had such a great time. I hope I can visit some of those sites sometime.
