Court and Reese

In January, Reese and I decided that we needed to do something fun for spring break. We hadn't been to Mexico for a while, so we decided Cancun would be a good idea! We originally booked our trip for 6 days, but Reese had somethings come up at work, so for the first 2 days my mom joined me. Reese ca

Well, it actually happened back in November which just shows how far behind I am on this blog! We moved to a cute little neighbourhood in Mesa and love it. We're a walk from the Mesa Temple and have good neighbours on the one side, and none on the other. So it's nice and quiet. We've been here for 5

For some reason saying "San Francisco" makes me think of West Side Story and the song America. Weird, I know!Anywho... for part of the Christmas holiday, Reese and I met Wyatt and his parents in San Francisco. I had never been to San Francisco, so I was quite excited! We were there for 6 days. Plent

The above picture really needs no introduction. I don't know how much they paid our taxi driver to actually take a picture with those 3! They were such clowns! He safely drove us around Cusco the day before and dropped us off at the airport the next morning. The boys look fresh and clean. I am not s

Well considering that day 6 was a complete mammoth of a post, day 7 is much shorter! We spent the night before in the little mountain town near Machu Picchu and then woke up early to catch our train ride back to Cusco.Here is a mountain-side view of Cusco. So many houses crammed on top of each other

Day 6 of our trip continued early in the morning, and got off to a relatively rough start. If I remember correctly, we had to be up at about 4 AM to make our 6 AM-ish train to Machu Picchu. Now remember, the last time we showered was at around the same time in the morning before in Lima. We got on t

As far as traveling goes, day 5 was much better than day 4! We left our hotel early, early in the morning to leave on a plane to Cusco. One step closer to seeing Machu Picchu! The plane ride there was an absolute pleasure. Every seat looked like a first class seat, there was lots of leg room, and we

Day 4 was one of those days. You know the type of day that you hope flies by! Reese had been up the night before, sicker than I've ever seen him, thanks to (yep- you guessed it) the pig! He got no sleep and neither did I! Man, he was miserable. The rest of use felt pretty good though. Unfortunately

Day 3 was a fun day. Wyatt spent a lot of his mission in this area (the mountains), so it was a really important stop! Huancayo- Street view: Reesey getting excited to squeeze back in the car. Either that or Reese and Jon were talking rubbish and giggling about it!Wyatt had organized to meet up with

Day 2 in Peru was quite the adventure! Little did we know, our first night was probably the best nights sleep we'd get the entire week. After a soundless, dreamless (at least for me) sleep, we packed up and got ready to make the drive from Lima to Huanuco, then from Huanuco to Hauncayo. First things
