Next Stop on Memory Lane: Utah and 1st year of St. Louis

These pictures were taken during the first two years were we married and living in BYU married student housing while Autrey was finishing up school and also the first year we lived in St. Louis. Once again the pictures are in backwards chronological order.

These pictures were taken on July 3, 2008, on Autrey's 26th birthday. Autrey had his first clinical experience in York, so we stayed at my parents house for a month or so. It was fun. We decided to go down to the York Fairgrounds to check out the Hot Rod show. Here were some of our favorites:

Spa Night with Rockwood 1st girls (Meggan Boston, Cambria Ernstrom, Rainee Pontius, Alanna Franklin-9 months pregnant with Brigham, me, and Li Jensen):

Doug, Mona, Nana, and Jared drove with us from Utah to St. Louis when we moved. We went to Nauvoo a few days later, once other Duke family members came in town:

Our 1st apartment (671 Wymount Terrace). We lived in the bottom left apartment from July 2005 until July 2007. It was about 600 sq. ft. with no air conditioning, no dish washer, and no washer or dryer, but we absolutely loved it:

Me, Becca Schwartz, Emily Lewis, Kira Shurtz, and Joel Thompson at Justin and Jenny Lewis' wedding in the Salt Lake Temple:

These pictures are from our visit to St. Louis with Doug and Mona to scout out St. Louis and look for an apartment/teaching job for me because Autrey was accepted to graduate school at Washington University in St. Louis (ranked #2 in the nation in PT). We left the day after I finished teaching 1st grade at Ridgeline Elementary in 2007 for our trip:

I love the New York, New York roller coaster!

I could watch the Bellagio fountains all day/night long.
