Welcome to Peoria Illinois
where New Adventures Await
where New Adventures Await
As previously meantioned, Mark was hired by the governement to work as a Mil-Tech in Peoria (Bartonville) Illinois. We will be living here for at least two years. In the short time we have lived here, I have learned a thing or two about Illinois.


(Peoria is like an Oasis that runs along the Illinois river)
(Peoria is surrounded by beautiful trees, but if you drive 1/2 a mile outside of town, you see nothing but cornfields for hundreds of miles)
(Beautiful Peoria Trees in the Fall)
(We live in the temple district of Nauvoo, which is also the closest temple to us, 2 hours away)

(Tornadoes dont just exist in the movies. Already there has been a record number of them in Illinois this year and its not even tornado season.)

Good ole' Peoria. When we went to visit my grandparents who were mission presidents of the Peoria Illinois mission at the time we took a trip to Nauvoo. The majority of our time driving my grandpa was saying now if you look to your left we have corn, if you look to your right barley (or something), then it was if you look to your left we have barley, and on your right we have corn. I guess you had to be there it was funny.
Good luck with those tornados. Yikes.
