| boxes, pulled cribs,beds, naked walls once filled with a happy family & sitting here trying to decide what to pack next. i couldn't help but reflect on our time here in morgantown as I am looking at our empty home. so here are a few pics. here is dave & I in front of the nauvoo temple on our drive out here. I served as a part time service missionary for the church of jesus christ of latterday saints in the temple design department & was honored & blessed to help with the reconstruction & installation of the nauvoo temple with my mom. it was so awesome to be able to go back there with my husband & being 8 months pregnant with our first child & show he & my cute in-laws what I had done to help. |

ReplyDeleteso fun to see your story like this. thanks for sharing! I want to go back to nauvoo too!...and I love gabes! Good luck with everything. I'm sad you are leaving just when I got here.
ReplyDeleteOh the memories! I can't believe how quickly it flew by. We sure miss those times.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure...time flies by!
ReplyDeleteIf there is one things I have learned is to not wish away time...it goes by too quickly!! I can't believe you and your cute family are leaving in just a few weeks! You will be missed cute Abby!
Soooo, you hadn't spent 4 years pining away for that flowered wall paper! Seriously, I'd forgotten how grandma your trailer was when we first arrived. I only think of it as the "parade of homes" trailer in Morgantown. Exhaustion must dull the memory! My memories are of the good times visiting you, you are such a good hostess. xoxo
