Temple Trip


On Thursday I headed up to the temple.  Brian is so good to always support me in this.  He will arrange his work schedule to pick up or take home kids as needed.  I left about 8:15 and was home to pick up the Middle School group at 4:25.  I was hoping to get a little group together from the ward. I announced it in RS. Also, Kim Sanders (a friend from Odessa 1st) and Sandy McKown were both planning on going but dropped out do to conflicts.

Nobody else was able to attend so I headed up by myself.  I downloaded a copy of Sheri Dew's new book about President Nelson.  It made the five hour travel time a dream.  It was really fun to learn more about his childhood, his newlywed years, different jobs and callings all the way to his service as the prophet.

I also stopped to shop at a couple of stores.  The only things I came home with were a new shirt and three pair of reading glasses.  My family always teases me about the number of glasses I have and how often I lose them.  I am pleased with my purchase though!

It was weird to be gone most of the day and then to have no kiddos home for the evening.  We had a four day weekend due to Easter and a snow day and the kids were in vacation mode.  Aubrey went to Lauron's house.  Tanner headed straight from school to a friend's house.  Brinley and Morgan made plans and Parker hung out with Austin, Cole and Harper.  Brian worked late...and I just kind of puttered around until bedtime. 

Isn't this a beautiful day to be at the temple?  I just took a snapshot but it looks postcard ready. 
A few extra readers are a must at my age!  Brian thought it was so funny when I brought them home that he insisted on taking a picture.

While I was gone, a member of our bishopric, Brother Riley Williams, brought over this delicious homemade pie.   He made one for each member of the ward council at Thanksgiving.  I was teasing him on Sunday that I might get my feelings hurt and go inactive since it had been awhile since he had brought over a pie.  I felt kind of badly when I came home to his delivery.  Thanks Bro Williams.  You are awesome.
