ROAD TRIP TO MANTI

FOR CHRISTMAS I GAVE BRADY A TRIP TO THE MANTI TEMPLE(HE PROPOSED THERE) AND WE STAYED IN THE MANTI HOUSE BED & BREAKFAST. WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP MONDAY AFTER WORK, WE HAD A BLAST.

ON THE WAY THERE, BRADY REALIZED AFTER TWENTY TWO YEARS OF LIFE HE NOW
REALLY ENJOYS SALT AND VINEGAR FLAVORED CHIPS. IT WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE FOR HIM.

WE STOPPED IN NEPHI TO EAT DINNER AT WENDY'S. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

MONDAY NIGHT WE WANTED TO GO ON A WALK DOWN MAIN STREET IN MANTI. WELL IT WAS SO SO COLD WE ONLY STAYED OUT FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES. IT TURNED INTO A VERY BRISK WALK. THE TEMPLE WAS BEAUTIFUL THOUGH.

TUESDAY MORNING WE WENT TO THE MANTI TEMPLE. I LOVE THAT TEMPLE, IT IS SO GORGEOUS. WE SAW ELDER BEDNAR THERE, HE WAVED AT US SO THAT WAS EXCITING. AND WHEN WE CAME OUT IT WAS SNOWING SO HARD, IT LOOKED SO PRETTY.

WE STOPPED BY SNOW COLLEGE(SINCE IT'S ONLY LIKE TEN MINUTES AWAY FROM THE TEMPLE) AND REMEMBERING THE GOOD TIMES THERE. WE ALSO GO STUCK IN OUR LITTLE PARKING SPOT THAT WE WERE IN FOR LIKE ONE MINUTE. IT WAS KINDA FUNNY.

WHEN WE LEFT, IT WAS SNOWING REALLY HARD. IT TOOK US FOUR HOURS TO GET
HOME WHEN IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE TWO TO TWO AND A HALF HOURS, IT WAS CRAZY.
ALL IN ALL THE TRIP WAS WAY FUN, BRADY LOVED IT. HIS GIFT WAS SORTA FOR ME TOO. GOOD OLD SNOW COLLEGE. IT WAS FUN JUST TAKING A LITTLE ROAD TRIP AND BEING TOGETHER.
