I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
I had to step way back to get this full shot in. It is 630 feet to the top. There is an elevator that can take you to the top. However we all declined on that experience. We could see the little windows in the center of the arch and that was enough info for us to say, " no," to the experience. We were the last to fly home after the wedding weekend and decided to go the distance and see the arches. They were pretty impressive. We were standing down the hill from the arches and still MJ sat on the ground to take this picture. We were parked down by this tour boat and this is where I got the kids trip presents which they asked for just after giving me hugs upon my return home. Can you say "spoiled." The boys got pop guns and kirsten got a dolphin pen that speaks dolphin.
