Manti Anniversary Trip

















The weekend of our 3rd anniversary we headed down to our favorite little getaway, The Manti House Inn! It is a sweet little bed and breakfast right across the street from the temple. They have a great little restaurant called the Carriage House. We LOVE their cream cheese and crab wontons! We have even taken the long way to get home from AZ just to get an order! We have stayed in several different rooms. This last one may be our favorite though. It was the Heber J. Grant Room. It sits on the corner of the building, so you have views of that cute little town in two different directions. The tub is really long...about 9 feet! It was very enjoyable to stay in and relax and watch movies. We are good at that. We did decide to venture out a little farther than just going across the street to the temple. This trip we headed up Manti Canyon. (But not before heading into town and getting some homemade candy! Yum!!) Zach had been up there the month before hunting. So, we went to where they had camped, right at the top of the canyon. You could see for MILES!
It was pretty windy, but still beautiful and clear. We mad a miniature camp with the truck parked opposite the wind so we could make a fire. We roasted some polish sausages and had chips and homemade salsa. It was nice to be away from the world and on top of it for a little while. We love to talk to each other. It still amazes me how much was can talk and still not get it all out. There is always a new conversation. We realized how blessed we truly are, as we do everyday, and are so thankful to the Lord and his tender mercies! On the way down we stopped an walked a few hundred yards to Milky Falls. It was very pretty and quiet, minus the sound of running water! What a great trip we had!

Brianna is 8!!


Brianna was baptized on January 2, 2010. I had the chance? opportunity? to speak at the stake baptism. All went well. She was baptized by her dad, Richard Wheatley. She was confirmed by her dad, Zach. There were many there in attendance to show support; Grandma & Grandpa, Breton & Jaime and kids, Quentin & Jessica and kids, Shandi & Eric and baby(can't leave without that one), MacKenzie & Greg, Bishop Nicholas, Sister Summers, Sister McGuire, Phillip Holcer, Susan Chidester & Katie Morse, Leisel & Leon and Lissee, Brielle, and Bryce Nichols, Aunt Jeannette, Sonny & Shea Jensen and kids, Kaden & Katie and kids, Dee & Kari, Shayell & Andy, Dixon, Buster and Dillon and Garrison, Grandma & Grandpa Marble, Shane & Heather Strong and kids, Grandma & Grandpa Wheatley. Wow! What a crew! Brianna has so many people that care for and love her!
Of course, we are Munns and we eat. We all went to the Pie Dump afterward and enjoyed a wonderful brunch of crepes with fresh fruit and breakfast meats and juice. Thanks to Breton, Shandi, Kenz, and Jessica for cooking crepes. And everyone else that helped prepare and clean up. It was a wonderfully perfect day. I am so ever grateful for the gospel in our lives and the guidance and peace that it gives. Brianna has started down the right path and she is so lucky to have so many people to help her along the way. Love you Brianna!
