A Tale of Two Cities

This is an aerial photo taken by my Dad of the house where I grew up in Ivins, Utah. It was taken in 1975 when we were the only house out there for miles. Sadly, it is populated now....darn it. It was nice to have all that wilderness to ourselves. It was the best of times. (Thanks, Mark, for digging up this photo!)
This is where I live now. Population: 8 million. It's also the best of times. (Charles took this from the Empire State Building.)
Gratefully, we can still find a little nature in the city. What would we do without Central Park?
Central Park is twice the size of the country of Monaco and Madi is trying to cover every inch!

Man, that picture of Ivins almost doesn't seem real, to think that NYC used to be like that too.
It's so hot here I forget other places are covered in snow!
kisses to Maddie!

Wedding Day in Las Vegas

Wedding Day in Las Vegas
We were surprised to see our family and friends lined up outside the temple after we were married. It was a nice moment for us.
