Fort Niagara
This was the highlight of the trip for Kyle being the history buff that he is! It is a fort complete with a castle that dates back to the 1700's built by the French. It was later occupied by the British and then changed hands between the American's and British a few times. It was complete with one of the oldest churches, a drawbridge, cannons and cemetery. With Kyle as my guide to explain quite a bit I really enjoyed it!
My Surprise!
Lets just say after two week of seperation from Kyle I was grateful for all I have been blessed with and I wanted my best friend back! I was surviving, but I was alot more sentimental. Kyle did the best thing he could do. He bought me a ticket to NY. I was exstatic and surprisingly a little nervous! I worried about it all! What will I tell the kids? Will this make it harder to say good-bye again? What about the money? I did it all! And then I realized I didn't care! I wanted to see him again!
We spent three nights and four days together in NY. We visited the Sacred Grove, saw the Palmyra temple and the Hill Cumorah. It was a truely sacred experience, not to mention beautiful! Next we headed up to Niagara Falls. Wow! We had so much fun walking the trails at night to see the falls all lit up. It is amazing how nice it is to just hold your husbands hand and enjoy a conversation with him without worrying about where the kids are and trying to listen and carry on two or three conversations at once! I loved sharing memories and making memories with him. There I will stop boring you with my mush. It was wonderful!
For those of yo who know me well, I took tons of photos. The leaves were at their peak in Niagara and I just went crazy!

Life
I find it funny that we seem to think things are suppose to go a certain way in life. I worry about all the minuscual detail and make certain that I have planned out far in advance so nothing will surprise me. Why do we do this to ourselves when things are not really in our hands anyway? If you had told me 6 mths ago that I would soon find myself living in UT without my husband I would have told you you were crazy! And yet the day Kyle told me about the possibility about this job I knew it would happen.
DO you ever look back at times in your life and wonder, "Did I learn what I was suppose to learn , there?" I do! I think of all the conversations I have had and now wonder if that conversation was not just mindless chatter but rather something I needed to hear! For all of those conversations that tie into my current experiences I am so thankful for!
Sorry, I really just meant to say, I'm a slacker! Tons has been happening and I would love to share it! Please forgive me if the timing gets all jumbled.
