Laura has very politely reminded me that it is time for an update to my blog. I have dexiced to oblige with a couple updates. In late August, Jerry came for a visit to LA. Luckily it wasn't too hot, but we had sunny weather. He took me to Solvang, a tourist trap Danish town with windmills and pastries.

He took me to Sea World for my birthdayday. I LOVE WHALES! We had a great time and saw the Shamu Show twice. We sat so close that Shamu literally spit on us. We also saw the dolphin show, fed dolphins, and got very wet.

Next my parents came and we went to Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. The trees and overall beauty were stunning. I loved them almost as much as the whales. I did not get tired of all of the trees and beautiful vistas.

I think that every should go there. It was truly an example of God's masterwork.

Since then, I got to go to conference. Jerry met up with me Utah and it was fantastic to be in the Conference Center and see family.
