Anniversary #2!!!

Scott took his 3rd test of the CPA Thursday morning. We left right when he was done to go on a little temple trip to celebrate our two whole years together.

The Snowflake, AZ Temple...now we've been to all 3 Arizona temples!





THE PETRIFIED FOREST - A quick side attraction full of petrified wood











Since we were up so far, we decided to drive another 4 hours and go to a session in the Albuquerque, NM Temple to be able to add to our temple scrap-book.





After our temple fun, we planned some camping. Who knew the hurricane storm along the coast of Texas would cause huge thunder and lightning storms in NM right where we were camping??? As soon as we had our tent set up, it started to rain...hard.

It was kinda fun to watch the lightning and hear the thunder so close. It was kinda scary at the same time. But then it was raining so hard, that water started coming in the bottom sides of the tent where the rain fly didn't cover. As soon as it stopped raining, we moved all our things in the car so they wouldn't get wet and figured we'd be alright on our blow-up mattress even with a little water in the tent.
Then it started raining again. Water was still comin' in! Then it finally stopped after drenching our tent. Scott sat up and his sleeping bag zipper must have caught on the mattress because it popped! We tried to patch it, but apparently we didn't quite get it because it definitely was deflating.

One of the puddles inside our tent.

It started raining again, water was coming in, and we were pretty much lying on the ground. What a miserable night! Finally at 2am, we got up and slept (or tried to) the rest of the night in the car. What fun adventures we have:)


Our attempt to dry everything out.

Kelsey's New Job...Finally A Good One!!!

I just got a job offer today and am starting my new job tomorrow!!! I will mainly be a receptionist, but will also have the opportunity to help with the HR department and anything the CFO or others need.

Compared to my last job, there is no comparison!!! The environment is professional, the people are nice, I get paid holidays (and the whole week between Christmas and New Year's off!), and the pay is better. I'm excited, the only negative thing so far is that it takes about 35-40 minutes to get there. It's worth having a good company to work for though!

Gila Valley Temple

The temple was dedicated May 23rd and instead of having regular church that day, the dedication was broadcasted in our chapel. It was pretty neat! We heard from a member of the temple presidency, assistant matron, Pres. Eyring, Pres. Monson, and Elder Holland led the Hosanna shout.

Instead of attending the open house, we decided to just do a session after the dedication. It's a very small temple, but is very pretty. Our temple is still the Mesa temple, but it takes about 2 hours to get to either of them.

The Clarks Visit Tucson!!

Spring Break in Sahuarita for everyone but Kadie...sorry Kadie:(



We hiked up Madera Canyon and there was still snow! I guess the Wellsvillites just couldn't live without it:)




The cave we explored in Coronado National Forest

Baseball With The Mariners

This is the last year that Spring Training will take place in Tucson for the Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, so we made sure to go to a couple games. Allan and Diane even got to come with us when they visited the end of March.

For all you Mariners and baseball fans (and Scott), this was the game that Cliff Lee was pitching and was ejected and suspended for throwing the ball at the batter's head. The benches cleared and it was quite entertaining.

And Scott caught a foul ball!
