1 Year!!!

We celebrated our first anniversary by going to see Brigham Young’s Winter House and Jacob Hamblin’s house.  Then went out for dinner.  It was kind of fun symmetry because the houses were decorated for Christmas, and last year on our honeymoon we saw Biltmore Estate all decorated for Christmas.

We learned that all the wood, and even this "marble" are actually hard wood,
painted to look like the type of wood or marble that they wanted it to look like.

The owner of this trunk wanted the rounded top so nothing
would be set on top of it and she would always have access
to its contents.  Pretty smart!

This is the master bedroom, and they believe this is the original
color

Brigham Young had his portrait painted sitting in this chair.
The portrait is hanging in the front room.

Jacob Hamblin was a peacemaker to the Native American tribes.  He did a lot of travelling, and didn't really spend much time in this house.

It's strange to think we've been married a year.  It seems like forever, and it seems like just yesterday.  I love you so much Peter.  I'm so glad I chose a year ago to be sealed to you for time and all eternity in the Temple of the Lord.  Happy Anniversary!
