Independence

Chase and I were able to spend the whole day together yesterday!!It was the best! Everyday I go to work around five in the morning and don't get home till three, and Chase does not get home till ten at night, by which time I am ready to go to bed. We have not spent a whole day together in a long time, Sunday's don't count seeing as Chase takes about a four hour nap :). We decided to go to Independence this weekend and go visit the church history sites. I was super excited because I have not been before and Chase was excited to show me everything. We went to liberty Jail and I loved it. I love museums and learning about new things, so this was my favorite part of the whole trip. There was such a strong spirit there as they were talking about Joseph Smith and his stay at Liberty Jail. I learned a lot of new facts about Missouri and Liberty Jail, Did you know that up until 1976 it was still legal to kill Mormon's in the state?? Isn't that crazy! We then hit up far West, it was such a pretty drive. I just could imagine how beautiful that temple will be. We also went to Adam-ondi-Ahman. This was a much needed trip. I loved being there and feeling the spirit and just imagining all the saints that stood right where I was and all the history that was created there. It was wonderful. Chase is such a great example to me and I am so glad that he is just full of church knowledge! The whole drive he taught me so many things I did not know about, I am so thankful to have him help me understand the gospel more. Next weekend were going to Nauvoo and we are going to see the pageant. I'm excited!!!!

Dana you are so great, I just love you and how hard you two are working right now. Sometimes all you can think is "this too shall pass" which I am sure you think every time your alarm goes off! I am so impressed that you are doing that day in and day out! I always try and remember if it was easy everyone would do it, it's the fact that it is not easy and you keep doing it day in and day out that makes the real difference!
