New Year's Eve

This new years was a very memorable yet busy day. Cory and I had just finished a week long trip at Mammoth Ski Resort. Which was so much fun! We wanted to make sure while we were down in CA that we went to the temple and since we didn't spend enough time with Cory's mom we invited her to come with us.

We went to the LA Temple and it was more beautiful than I remembered it. I went there shorty after I returned home from my mission and remembered it being huge and beautiful. This was Cory's first going to the LA Temple. I loved all the rooms, the stars, and Mary even took us on a little tour through the top of the temple. We went through the 2nd to the last session of the year and the temple was more quite and peaceful than I've ever heard it. Even the locker room was silent. I loved it! After we went a Mexican restaurant and drove back to Lancaster. We packed up and got on the road again to make it back home in time for Church on Sunday. We decided to take a break from driving and stop in Vegas to Celebrate the New Years. And yes... Vegas was crazy!! The people watching was amazing though. It took us half the night to actually find a spot to park and than once we did we were afraid that all our crap in the car would be stolen. The car was packed full of everything.

The whole strip was blocked off for people to walk up and down. We were going to try to find a cheaper dance club party but we decided to just walk around and celebrate on the strip. The time came and everyone counted down and the fireworks went off everywhere around us.

It's been awhile since I've actually gone and done something for New Year's, it was so good to be there with Cory and celebrate the coming of a new year together. The sad part of the night was we still had and hour and a half drive ahead of us. We were so tired by all the traveling and events we did, but it was all worth it.

Happy New Year! 2012
