Last month, we got to go to Nauvoo, Illinois and to Florida to go see two of our favorite people get married, Leah and Ben! Originally, we had only planned on going to Florida for the recepetion, because we didn't think we could go to Nauvoo because Clay was supposed to take Summer classes.
LUCKILY, he decided not to take chemistry in the summer and we were able to go to both! We met Clay's mom in St. Louis and then drove to Nauvoo. We actually surprised Leah and Ben in Nauvoo and it was such an amazing experience to see them be sealed for time and all eternity in the Nauvoo Temple.
Nauvoo is beautiful and the sealing was perfect!
Don't they both look amazing?!
We could not be happier for Leah and Ben!
We love you guys!!
While in Nauvoo, we also got to see the Pageant, visit the graves of Joseph and Emma Smith, and go to Carthage Jail. Although Clay and I had both been to Nauvoo before, we were grateful for the opportunity to go back again and to feel the Spirit resolidify our testimonies of Joseph Smith and of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
After the sealing, we drove back to St. Louis in A LOT of rain!
AND... we were glad to be back in civilization!
Thanks for enduring the corn fields for us! ha. But really, We were so glad and blessed to have you guys there for our special day. I really don't know what I would have done without you!!!!
