This is a couple months old but it was a fun time so I thought I would blog it anyway. About a year after I moved here a customer at the pharmacy told me about Kanarraville Falls. He said that is was beautiful and that I had to go. He also kindly warned me that I should "prepare to get wet". This past Labor Day some friends from my Singles Ward were going and I asked if I could tag along. As all of you know I am not a very good hiker so it was not the easiest thing I've done. Also two of the girls seemed to be more in the mood to get it over with fast while I was being the typical city girl and walked slow and stopped to take a few pictures. It is gorgeous there (sorry that my pictures don't do it justice) however the warning to "prepare to get wet" should have been "you'll be walking in ankle deep water half the time".

This past weekend Keena and I drove up Cedar Mountain. We have driven there a few times but I had never driven to the area that has a large white "C" on it. It was very cold and very windy but the view was incredible. We were able to see all of Cedar and it was amazing to see how the land changed to this flat area out in the middle of nowhere to the mountains. Fall had already reached that high of elevation so the colors were beautiful. That drive was just what I needed as I have a tendency to feel a bit trapped every so often here in Cedar. I was reminded of the diverse beauty here in southern Utah, and while I am sure I will always feel a need to escape once in awhile from this small town, I am blessed to live here.

Sorry that it's been awhile but my roommate bought a new place last fall and since then Internet access not been as easily accessible so I got a little lazy. My family has grown by two, James McClaren Dexter (10/27/08) and Ruth Hardin (5/04/09). Mom and I were able to go to James' blessing in Provo and as you can see from the photos he is adorable. Ruth was born in England so I am anxiously waiting for a picture of her and a chance to meet her. Great-Grandma Dexter with Lydia Claire and James McClaren. With family now in Logan I have had a couple opportunities to visit the Logan Temple, I think is the most beautiful LDS Temple. On one of my visits there I got some pictures of it at night so I just thought I would share them. The last picture is the one and only Michael Dexter
