We have amazing family and friends . . .

A couple of exciting things have happened to people we love. First up is Nick's cousin Candy (aka Sydney) and her husband Tony. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been touring along the East Coast recently, and they were able to attend in their hometown, Philly. You can see them in the video clip and read their comments in this article from the Church newsroom:

Next up is my super awesome friend and Nauvoo roomie, Tiffany. If you pick up your July Ensign you'll get to read a short story written by her. You can also access it online here:

Tiffany is also the author of Zion National Park. Way to go, Tiff! She has had some amazing, and some crazy, experiences working as a National Park Ranger. I look forward to the day when she compiles them into a memoir :)
