Let the games begin

Check this out!!! The Olympians aren't the only ones that can stand in Tianamen Square in Beijing. Here we are barely a year before the Olympics and it was amazing how excited and proud the chinese were to be hosting the Olympics. They had this giant clock-like thing counting down the days until the start of the games. I know the Chinese government is atrocious, inhumane and unjust, but the people are wonderful and the suggestion of the US boycotting the games would have been a huge blow to the people. I'm glad to see they got their day.

I hope they call me on a mission

I can't believe I haven't shared this completely awesome, wonderful picture we took when we were in Korea (as part of our China trip). It was so wonderful to see these fellows and they were so excited to see us. Only one of the elders was Korean, the rest were Americans.

Love is a many splendored thing....

Michelle and Aaron are officially wed and they have the happiness to prove it. It was wonderful at their wedding to have all our children in the Temple together for the first time. These are the truly great moments of our lives. We love Aaron and we love Aaron and Michelle together. After celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary this month I can say without a doubt, marriage is as close to bliss as is possible here on earth. Sure it has it's ups and downs, but the ups are out of this world. Here we are in romantic Italy. I don't think I will ever tire of vacationing with Chris. We have the best time together and so many times to look forward to as we explore the world. It just doesn't get better than this and we have the happiness to prove it too.
