Bored in a hotel room...

So I thought i'd do an update of what Les and I have been up to lately sense, i'm stuck in a boring hotel room with nothing to do! Oh life, your either too busy, or too bored. Anywho, so I guess I'll start with the most recent activity, sense that is the way the pictures uploaded. So today Les and I actually went to Nauvoo and Carthage. Which was awesome we want to go back soon and spend more time because we actually only got to spend a few hours at Nauvoo, and like 40 min at Carthage. Which was unforunate, but we took what we could get!
So this is a picutre of the window that Joseph Smith fell out of after he was shot twice from outside the window and twice in the back. Pretty weird being in the room that he spent his last few days in. It definatly was a sombering experience. Here is another picture of the same window, if you look closely you can see Les's face in the window!

Here is a picture of the same door that Hyrum Smth tried to hold closed and was shot and killed throught, the bullet holes are still there, it was crazy to see the same door, the same floor, the same house.



Here is a picture of the window, from the inside. It was smaller than I expected I thought it was larger.



Here is Les in the Dungeon Cell, at Carthage it was such a weird room, I didn't expect it too be so dark and dreary, but it was there was only a few slits, and it was super hot in there.



Here is a statue outside the carthage jail, it is of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.


Here is Les looking somber next to the same statue.

There were a bunch of beautiful quotes by Joseph Smith lining the path to the house and visitor center.


Here is the Smith Mansion, we didn't get to go inside this time, because the Community of Christ owns it, and they have to do guided tours so we didn't have enough time to visit it this time. Which sucks, but we see it again soon.


Here are some pictures of the Smith Cemetary. Here is Emma's Smith headstone, and did you know that Emma was older than Joseph. Interesting.


Here was Hyrum's Headstone.
And of course Joseph's Headstone.

Here is the gate leading into the cemetary, with Les and Kiwi walking through it. Les making a sexy pose! Lol, note to whoever goes to Nauvoo, don't bring a dog, not very smart on our part!
Here was the Family living center, it was pretty cool, Les made a rope and watched a lady make bread it was pretty cool!

Here is Les posing next to the Head of Joseph Smith Jr.!

So that was it from Nauvoo,we will go again soon and post more pictures. Now this is what we did on the fourth of July, we ended the night with watch fireworks at O'fallion. Which was fun, it smelt awful though so many people were smoking it was like nauseating. It was awful!


Les did win a Carnival Game, and he one the biggest price! A huge kung fu panda bear it was pretty cool! And Les got to keep his pride lol! Always a good thing!
Here is us in the new St. Louis Cardinal hat we bought! We are making funny faces lol, if you couldn't tell lol!
Here are pictures from the game, the Cardinals killed them 9 to 1 which was pretty awesome, it was a super fun game and we had decent seats! That only cost 20 bucks each! Pretty nice!



Another picture from the game!

Here is us at the game we take lots of these pictures cuz there is just the two of us lol so they are al headshots.


So that was it from the fourth of July and here are some pictures from the St. Louis zoo, it was pretty fun, and it was free! It was really nice until it started raining cats and dogs it was awful. We got so wet it as like we jumped into a pool of water. It was awful. But here are some pictures before it started raining.





Here were the monkeys!
Les was making faces at the animals lol!


Here ar the penguins they were so cute, but super smelly, like yucky fish!








Well that is our update for what we have been up too lately! Right now we are in Quincy Il, and Les is out selling and working hard. He is amazing he works so hard, and I am so grateful for him, he is incredible and I am so proud of him. He has already sold 91 accounts! He is awesome I love him so much, and he is such a good provider for me! How did I get so lucky! Well, I better get out of this hotel room for a couple hours its starting to get to me! Lol!
