May 27 & 28, 2013
Well, the last few days have been kind of slow. The weather has been chilly and with bouts of rain. We have been able to do a little sight seeing either in the rain or between downpours. Yesterday we went up to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. I think by far our favorite hike/sight was from Uncle Tom's Trail. The trail leads to a view of the lower falls. To get down to this breathtaking view though, you have to hike down a couple hundred stairs, which means you will also have to hike back UP them! None the less, it was so worth it. The falls were so powerful and majestic. Occasionally the sun would peak through which would create this glistening rainbow through the mist of the waterfall.
After soaking in the view, we headed back up the trail, two by two (David's idea, my calves still are sore), and headed down to Artist point to get another view of the same waterfall. Apparently this is one of the most photographed points in Yellowstone. This view was also quite stunning. You could see the whole view of the waterfall and the river it flowed into with steep canyon walls on either side. We also saw the artist paint pots and Virginia cascade.

Although we did not get to go any many more hikes, we were able to spend some quality time with each other. I think it is cool to see how God has such bigger and sweeter plans for us than we could ever plan. So far, I, Jennifer, have realized that you don't need a lot of stuff to be happy/satisfied. Here we are down to the bare necessities and I think that we have had more fun and learned more about each other and the God we serve in this last week than the last year combined. We were reminded that our God really does care about our needs and takes care of us so well.
I am learning to be more selfless and patient. We have both realized how much we really love each others companionship. We know we are best friends and love birds as well :). We have laughed so hard and had such a great time just hanging out.
He is not a distant God, He is so close, all we have to do is ask for Him.

All these were much needed reminders!
Well, enough of my ramblings. We think about you all often and miss you all!
Blessings.
