Happy Pioneer Day!

Every time I make the trek out to Utah I think about the pioneers.  It can be a difficult journey by car - I can only imagine what they went through on foot with all of their belongings and their families.  This home in Nauvoo once belonged to one of my ancestors (Winslow Farr).  I'm so grateful that they weren't afraid to leave all of their comforts and make a new life where they could put their beliefs into practice.  Yea, pioneers!

Thursday Tunes: Pioneer Day Concert

You may remember me mentioning Katherine Jenkins after we returned from a trip to the UK in 2009.  This year, she sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for their annual Pioneer Day concert.  If you missed it, you can see it below.
