Oh Pioneers!

My coworkers and I have a slight addiction to this website, so a few months ago, I made this picture and sent it out to them for a laugh. Happy Pioneer Day to everyone who is celebrating this great holiday. Last night I spent some time with extended family and it was so wonderful to hear the stories of those who made it possible for me to be where I am today. My great great grandmother walked from Illinois to Utah with a handcart and 7 children by herself. I still get chills when I watch this - its an oldie but SO AWESOME!
