We planned our whole weekend out before we took off so everything was on point!!  :D  We, not only surprised our HUBBIES, but we also surprised OURSELVES with how GREAT everything turned out.  It was nothing less than PERFECT.  We got home last night & our hubbies drove us more than half way home to Moab.  We stopped & took pictures @ the Arches Nat'l Park.  We got there just before sunset & our timing couldn't have been any more PERFECT.  Here are some of the pics from there.  

WEEKEND PICS. . . .

THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD

"We, the First Presidency & the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man & a woman is ordained of God & that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.  

All human beings - male & female - are created in the image of God.  Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature & destiny.  Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, & eternal identity & purpose. "

I was very happy when I heard that Proposition 8 was passed in Ca.  I have no ill feelings for how anyone chooses to live their lives, but I honestly believe that marriage is ordained of God between a man & a woman.  I stand firmly behind the First Presidency of the Church & am united as one in this belief.
