Nauvoo!!!!! readers digest version

I'm back from Nauvoo!!!! What an amazing trip and experience. I had such a wonderful time performing with my team and traveling alot! We went to Carthage, Fairfield, Springfield and Quincy besides Nauvoo. We did a show in all of those except for Carthage. Since the tour was 2 weeks and I would hate to bore you all with the details, I'll just list some highlights.

-Spending the first morning there rehersing on the outdoor stage, eating lunch, then spending the afternoon rehersing on an indoor stage because of a threat of rain. (it never rained)
-I got really sick about the 2nd day, luckily it only lasted about 2 days. Prayers truely get answered!
-We performed every night on an outdoor stage. It was a very rough, unpolished, painted floor that was oddly shaped. What an adventure dealing with that floor, humidity, bugs, and the weather!
-At our show in Quincy, our key to the trailer lock broke so the Fire Dept had to come and cut the lock with huge pliers. It was pretty crazy.
-Friday afternoon we drove through some crazy thunderstorms with reports of tornadoes all over. I got some wicked awesome pictures of a small, supercell storm we drove right under.
-Testimony meeting on the last night we were there. What a spiritual exerience.
-The people of Nauvoo were amazing! They absolutely loved us and practically worshipped the ground we walked on. We were Nauvoo celebrities! Our "tour guides", Dean and Kathy Hughes were amazing as well.

And of course, I can't leave out seeing Scott and my family for a couple days, and then seeing Kim and her kids the next day! It was so fun to have family come out!

And now I'm back home and soooo grateful to be back with Scott. I'm in the process of finding another job because I'm tired of working in a restaurant and they don't give me enough hours. Any ideas anyone?

Some day when I find my cord or a computer that works, I'll upload and post some pictures. We're pretty behind. love you all!!!!!
