Brady and I flew out to Mississippi on Friday morning to see his parents for Christmas, but first on Thursday night we saw the lights at temple square. During a talk in sacrament in Louisiana, Brady's mom reminded everyone that Christmas lights are symbolic of how Christ is the Light of the World. What a magnificent display there is around the Salt Lake Temple. It really got us in the Christmas spirit.
This is in the Joseph Smith Building. It was beautifully decorated too. Today is his birthday so it was wonderful to to be reminded of our wonderful Prophet and all that he has done. 
We finally made it to Jackson, Mississippi on Friday night. 
This is Brady's super excited anxious look when we first saw his parents.
It is so good to be here with them. It felt like we hadn't see them in FOREVER, and now if feels so normal to be here, it is hard to think that we won't be able to drop by every week.
They gave us one day to relax to fool us into thinking that they had spare time and then the next day showed us the real craziness of their lives. So far we've driven 9 hours, been to five big cities, and two states, been to three different hotels, had two zone conferences on back to back days with another one tomorrow morning, and wrapped over 600 presents in newspaper for the missionaries...all in three days. This is Brady living off of 5 hours of sleep every night for three days. No, really we are loving it, we don't mind the sleep deprivation and we get way more than Tom and Annette.
The missionaries playing the garbage can game. Probably the biggest group that has ever played it!
Aren't they just the best looking Mission President couple ever!

Looks like you are having a blast! A crazy blast though! Can't wait til you are back to party with us....yay more sleep deprivation!
It was good to hear from you on my blog and it is great to find yours and see what you guys are up to. It sounds like life is treating you pretty good. We were up in Island Park over Christmas and I was thinking about you when we drove past Island Park Village. That was a fun trip. It will be nice now to keep in touch through our blogs.
