FOOTBALL

Saturday Morning we got up early and headed out 3 hours away to arrive in Birmingham to an AWESOME or BRILLIANT Football game That's Soccer for you Yanks!!! It was a great game and we had so much fun!!! The Phillips Family had the great idea to go to a Football game and invite us along!! It was so much fun!! We were there a little early and the city wasn't very nice so we sat in the stands till everyone arrived but the Stadium was awesome!!
Here is us with the Phillips getting all excited before the game starts!!

So the fans and us got so into the game!! We were yelling and screaming!!! The opposing team Fulham scored the first goal and we had to show you the excitement of the team members of Aston Villa!! They weren't so happy!! But Aston Villa ended up scoring two goals in the second half and winning the game!!It was so fun!! The members of the fans get really into the game!! It's like an American High School Football game, the stands screaming back and forth , but its not like a couple of hundred its more like 36628 people screaming back at each other, its quiet and exhilarating experience.
The little section with hardly any people in it was for the opposing team! The little yellow people are the security guards and police protecting the fans because they were getting so into when they scored the first goal they were giving us the English Bird and yelling at us!! They were louder then us and we had way more people then they did!! They didn't like it all when we scored the final goals and won the police had to escort the fans out because it was a little crazy for them if you don't know what I mean you need to see the Movie Green Street Hooligans (it is rated R though for violence and cursing! But it is so like how it is!!!
Finally at the end of the game we took a picture outside of the Stadium!! This was so much fun!! I recommend everyone that visits England to go to a Football game and find out for yourselves how much fun one of these games are!! We will be definitely going to another game!!

Prague

Welcome to Prague... a really beautiful city with great architecture and SHOPPING!!!!! It was a great trip to celebrate Josh and I's 4th Wedding Anniversary! It was a lot of fun. Day one of our trip we woke up at4:25 and almost missed the bus to the airport... we were running to the bus stop so therefore we forgot a lot of stuff like toothbrushes and other nessicities! But we made it!!! We went out to eat that night at a really nice restaurant and we had fresh seafood and what they mean by fresh seafood that it is raw!! The Lobster was really good, Josh though was in heaven he ate it the rest of it!! Then we went on a ghost tour of Prague. A cute fun little activity to do but it wasn't any true stories or anything it was a more funny than scary!! But a good time!!
Our second day was the busiest because we were leaving the next day to go home so we had to do everything in that time!! Let me tell you we did some walking!!! It took us 45 minutes to get to the castle!! We had to cross this beautiful bridge to get there it was so beautiful and the architecture on the bridge was beautiful Sculptures everywhere!! Once we got to the castle we went to the Cathedral that is inside of the Castle...This is the Beautiful streets of Prague leading up to the Castle!!! It is a nice hike but they town is so cute and close together!! Josh really liked this picture because it is call the Holy Trinity and there is clearly 3 images depicted in the picture on Jesus Christ being baptized and God looking down from heaven and the Dove as the Holy Ghost this picture was the oldest thing in the Cathedral and it dates back to the early 1400's.
We couldn't leave the Cathedral without putting a little holy water on our forehead and Josh giving a little confession!!




























On the tour of the Cathedral they had these little stairs that were in this room that is off side of the castle and we didn't think much of it!! So we were like lets go up these stairs just to see where they lead we thought it would only be made up one level and that is it... No it was 247 stairs and It was almost a mile high or maybe even higher I am not sure!! But it was a beautiful view... (I don't really know Josh told me and took this picture it was a little high for me but I did climb those stairs!)
The Final leg of our trip was a river tour at night of the city!! It included dinner it was so nice and what an experience watching them move us through some really tight spots on the river!! It was so much fun and a good experience but the food wasn't that good but it was fun!!!

London Temple

Today Josh and I decided to take a little break and just be with each other and enjoy one of God's most precious gifts that he has given us here on this earth the temple. It was nice to be able to breath for a little while since we have been under a lot of stress and have some really hard times these past months with finding out some things we really didn't want to find out. But it was a nice time the Temple was really Beautiful and we really felt the spirit today! It was really hard to leave we didn't want to go... We tried staying longer so we could do a sealing session but they didn't have enough workers on Saturday... O well... It was great! For those needing a little break I encourage you to enter the house of the Lord and take a little breather! And for those that haven't entered or can't enter I recommend that you become worthy to enter his Holy Home! It was a great time!!!
