Trip to Georgia

Our trip to Georgia came to be when I suprised Kyle with plane tickets for our anniversary. This trip was amazing in so many ways and I feel I have grown as a person in a lot of ways. The people I met were all amazing. I am so grateful for the Bristols. They are the family who graciously let us stay with them. They even let us hang out with them every night. Their love and faith of the Gospel has given my testimony a big boost and has energized me to find how my ancestors came into the church.....which I am still looking into. These photos are in order of the trip.


This was the Disgusting pizza I had at the Chicago airport. It tasted like cardboard.


This is the Bristol's home we stayed at. It is so beautiful


This is their back yard. What a dream home!


This is from their deck. They share a private lake with some neighbors. It was so beautiful.


Kyle and Jacob. Jacob I found out is an incredible singer and is hilerious fun to be around.


This place we are at is called the square. Kyle said he spent a lot of time here talking to people because so many people traveled through the square during the day..


This is Kennesaw mountain. I would compare its height to the point of the mountain's height. It was the only moutain they had. The sign behind us is talking about a battle that was bought in the civil war.


Notice how you can barely see buildings and everything is trees.....well that is exactly how it is EVERY where you go. I felt a little closterphobic at first because every road is lined with trees. You can't see where you are going. They were beautiful green trees though.


Bryan, Me, Kyle, Megan, Donna, Randy, Jacob, Kaylyn. Kyle baptized Bryan and his mom. Megan is his little sister. The people on the far right are the Bristols. I loved Donna's accent and I came to find out that Kaylyn and I have a lot in common and I consider us BFF's.

Kyle baptised all these people except Megan. They were awesome to talk to and get to know. Megan was an absolute riot. I have posted a video of Megan at the bottom. I totally reccommend listening to her. You won't regret it.


We were able to go fishing out on the lake behing their house. I didn't catch anything of course, but as always it was a lot of fun.



We were able to go to the Braves game. They played the Phillies. We lost 4-5. I can't decide what was more fun.....watching the game or watching people :)


We went to the aquarium in Atlanta. This was so cool to see. Look at that freakin shark above us. They had everything in the aquarium. We got to touch some baby sharks and baby sting rays.


This was a tunnel we went through. I couldn't believe they had real life sharks in there.

So this is an actual plantation home back in the day. It was so white and HUGE!!

This is another plantation home. I totally want a porch like that some day.


The last night we spent at Bill and Diane's house. Kyle baptized both of them and they later got sealed in the Atlanta Temple. They cooked dinner for us and the 4 missionaries that came. It was an amazing southern cooking. I enjoyed being with them so much and hope to see them soon. Their deck we were on was amazing. I want my deck to be like theirs.


On his misison Kyle taught the "strait gate" which he draws for them and puts a date on there for their goal to be baptized. After five years Bill and Diane still have this drawing on their fridge.
