The "newlyweds" in all their glory! You're awesome!

Kitty and Kayson enjoying the Sunday after

Cliffy, we're missing you. This trio is outstanding but not complete without you!

We had a fabulous family reunion. We had about 30 here. We missed you all who couldn't make it. Next year we want to get the most yet so start planning now for the 2nd weekend in June. The weather was perfect, not too hot. Everyone seemed to totally enjoy themselves. We had Summer and Jeff's family here for the first time, that was COOOOOOL! We love you guys. The food was good, I hope everyone enjoyed it. Every sibling was represented by their kids. Southwicks had the most this year. I challenge any sibling to out-do us next year

Israel Trip/ April 15-May 1

Shopping at the Cairo bazarre. Mike bought me a beautiful bracelet of silver and turquois

We're headed down into Tut's tomb. His mummy is here as well as his sarcophagus

We're on an overlook of Tel Aviv, a beautiful and modern city in Israel.

This is our fabulous group. 41 of us originally, all family and friends of the Faust family.

I haven't said much about our trip, but it was amazing. The people we got to know were wonderful and Mike and I learned sooooo much. Everywhere we went we were dumbfounded by the incredible history. There were so many Roman ruins. We walked on Roman roads and mosaics that were 2000 years old. Our favorite spiritual place was the BYU Jerusalem center on the Mt. of Olives. The story behind it's creation was awe inspiring. I'm putting on a few more pictures to share.

We're at Petra in Jordan with Lonnie and Steve Carlston

This is called the Treasury in Petra. It was Fabulous!

Our trip to Israel was incredible. We couldn't have had a better time. We made some wonderful friends and got to know a lot of great people. Seeing sights from history and the bible were so exciting, and our testimonies grew as we followed the Savior's steps during his last week of life. Now as we read from the scriptures they take on new meaning because we have a frame of reference. We are so glad we went and want our family to know we have a strong testimony of the Savior and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
