MOAB 2011

So this past weekend Reed and I went to Moab, Utah. We stayed with about 50 other people from Utah State and rented a house in Moab. I had such a blast and it was the perfect time to get away from all the cares of the world and enjoy Heavenly Father's creations. It was such a great stress relief from wedding planning, family members, school, and work. We met a lot of new people and created lasting memories. We drove 9 hours on Thursday to get to Moab in time for a polar bear plunge in the Colorado River. We didn't make it in time due to the fact that I locked my keys in the car while stopping for lunch in Taylorsville. Silly me!

On Friday we explored Arches National Park and hiked up a lot of arches. My favorite arch was Delicate Arch. I complained the whole hike up there since it was about 2 miles all up hill but it was all worth it in the end. The whole day was very physically tiring but a lot of fun. I like to describe it as a once in a lifetime opportunity. Here are some pictures of the day...

On Saturday, we drove to Goblin Valley to play around and climb on more rocks. We left there and Reed let us take a detour through Manti, Utah so I could see the Manti Temple which is my favorite. I couldn't stop taking pictures of it because I loved it so much. It was so much better in person than I ever imagined!

I love us...

It was such an awesome vacation and a much needed break from our hectic lives. There were lots of memories made that I will remember for the rest of my life.
