Philly!

Um, so we never finished writing about our adventures in Europe. In a nutshell, the trip was awesome and we are so happy we did it. The only problem is that now I just want to live there. Maybe one day...

So Alex and I are in Philly. It's beautiful out here - when we first got here and were driving around to find an apartment, we were amazed at how green it was and how many trees there are! We live in the city, but it actually feels more like a suburb. It takes Alex about 25 minutes on the train to get to work. Alex is enjoying his job, and is keeping very busy. Our church callings keep us busy on Sundays and in the evenings. We get to work a lot with the missionaries, which is great because I always wanted to serve a mission and now I am!

We're loving how close we are to great day-trips! We went up to Manhattan with some new members and went to the temple (see picture below). And last weekend Alex and I went to Ocean City and enjoyed the boardwalk and beach. It's crazy how much there is to do out here.


Early this morning we heard a loud crash, and Alex jumped out of bed to see what was going on. He came back into the bedroom chuckling because the crash was a large tree falling down in the back and hitting our back door. Luckily it was just a tree and nothing else!

That's all for now.
