From Springfield

I (Michael) am currently in Springfield, you know, the capital of Illinois.  I went to see Abraham Lincoln's old house, the old and new capital buildings here in town, and some other site seeing venues around.  I am here on the 7th or 8th stop on a trip I am taking with my Uncle Dale.  We are advancing a tour for BYU-Idaho currently.  It is pretty fun, but we get pretty tired after driving and meeting with people all day long. 10:30 means bedtime on this trip.

In case you were wondering

The picture that we have posted here is one that was taken during a trip to Ft. Collins, CO.  At the time Becca and I were only dating, we hadn't even become engaged at this point.  We were in Colorado to watch the marriage of one you my friends growing up.  On the trip Becca was able to see the places that I grew up and meet some of the people in my old ward.  It was a great experience despite the long drive and we loved our time together.
