We went to the Joseph Smith Memorial building so I could get garments, and it wasn't open for another hour, so we did some exploring. We went to the tenth floor and looked out and took some pictres. It was really cool. We walked all around the temple grounds, and Jessica showed us where Avery proposed. It was a lot of fun!!

Temple Square
Lagoon
Last weekend, the girls and I got a whim and went up to SLC for the weekend to wedding dress shop. We spent the day at Lagoon on Sunday and I lost my phone, so please text me your number... On Monday, it was nuts, we went with Jessica to try on wedding dresses and get bridesmaids dresses. We found her dress, but we can't post it or Avery will see it...
The Girls
We wer hanging out with Jaimie at the store while we were waiting for Amy to tell us to leave to go meet her in Crescent Junction. Jaimie & Jordan were being goofy. Jordan made several funny videos which were making us crack up!
The Bomb Run
On Sunday, it was our last day to be with Brad. He wanted to go bowling, so we did. Then, we went ot church which was a different experience for sure. Then, we went over to the bomb run and took some pictures and walked around for a little bit, and then had to rush him back over by his dorms to get him dinner. He only had like ten minutes to wolf it down, but he did, he is used to eating fast these days lol. It was so hard to say goodbye again. Jordan & I cried. I am so glad we have such a close family!!
Riverwalk
We went down into the riverwalk which starts across from the Alamo, it was so gorgeous, and fun to walk down. There are so many plants, blooming trees, flowers, ducks and other birds. There are resturaunts all along the way that are quaint and lively. It was a neat experience.
The Alamo
While in San Antonio, we went to the Alamo, which was cool. We didn't get to do the tour inside because Jordan got sick and ended up throwing up. We think between lunch and the heat, it made her sick. After she threw up, she was fine.
Sea World
We had so much fun at Sea World. I don't have to many pictures because my camera battery died. The girls got to feed the dolphins, and they loved it!! The aquariums were amazing! We went on the Steel Eel roller coaster with Brad, and he loved it!! He couldn't get wet, so there was only 2 rides we could go on. We watched a 4-D movie which was good. We caught the Shamu show, Believe, and it was awesome. Jordan was so enthralled by it! So glad we got to go, but we didn't get to stay long, so we want to go back again!!
Who would have thunk?
I got a kick out of visiting Brad's dorm. It was fun to see everything so perfect!! I knew he had it in him. I was thrilled. I think I know who will be the task master now lol.
Brad's Graduation Ceremony
On Friday morning, we got to attend Brad's Graduation, it was an awesome experience. It's hard to describe how amazing it was. There were so many flights graduating that day, and they said there is a graduation just like his every week. It was so impessive to watch them march onto the field. When they did they parade, it was so cool! There is a picture of Brad as he is marching by, and I think I put another on of his flight, and then when they are up to do the oath of enlistment, and a picture of when it was over and Jordan & Fritz were meeting him ont he field. I am so proud of him!
Brad's Graduation
Wow, what a weekend!! The lower picture is the first glance we had of Brad, when they did the airmen's run, it was impressive, and very emotional. We had to wait several hours until the coin retreat, which was a really neat ceremony, then we were able to go hug him!! :) We got to spend the rest of the day with him on base until about 8 pm. Manike & her parents got there between 3 nd 4.
