FHE Blogging

Early in our FHE career, we've decided to get in on this whole web-logging craze. We want to be one of those trendy techno-savvy couples who blogs, and surfs, and e-mails. So, please be forgiving of our novice, tender-footed (or is it "feeted"?) efforts.

So just a quick review: we were married in the Salt Lake Temple a month ago yesterday. And then, spur-of-the-moment like, we packed up all our boxes and moved across the country, with just a couple of stops along the way.

 We enjoyed a few days on the Oregon Coast. This is from our hike up Cascade Head Trail north of Lincoln City.

 Here's a favorite pic from our days (our oh-too-few days) as beach bums.

 Who do you think looks more presidential?

 Mom and Dad Robertson came to a reception in Minnesota, and we took a trip to the St. Paul Minnesota Temple.

 And Mom and Dad Skidmore came to Oregon also and couldn't resist a visit to the Portland, Oregon Temple.

 "Thou art the man!" (and woman; there's two of us). On the way to Boston, we stopped in Kirtland, one of the most important sites in the history of the LDS Church. It was here that the keys of the Priesthood were restored to the prophet Joseph Smith, in the building pictured below.

 The Kirtland Temple is owned by the Community of Christ (formerly RLDS) and they were kind enough to take us on a tour of the building.

 We got to Niagara Falls just as the sun was going down. There were tons of people there! And because the park was closed, the parking was free--something we've come to appreciate living in Boston :)

"Look Sarah, a bear!" (as I sneakily took this goofy picture)

 Our last stop before Boston was in Palmyra. If you ever go there, make sure you plan for a few hours, because there's so many wonderful historical sites there. We recommend visiting the Grandin Press. You'll love it if you're at all interested in printing (which Michael is, a lot).

Scott and Janelle (and Alan and James) were kind enough to let us spend our first week in Boston in their guest room (I hope they don't mind we let the cat out of the bag; they do in fact have a guest bedroom). We got to celebrate both Michael's and Scott's birthdays there.

We now have our own apartment in Brighton, just west of Boston. Michael's been keeping busy reading 50 pages a day in law books, and Sarah's been getting the house set up, driving Michael to school and back, looking for a job, and cooking some delicious meals.

We feel so blessed and wish the best for all our friends and family!
