making it to the temple

This morning I had two meeting to be at-

the first one was canceled & I got an email yesterday night saying I didn't have to go to the second one after all. Hurray- unexpected time on my hands. I got a bunch of little things done this morning. Late morning I kept hearing this loud banging noise. It sounded like someone was shutting a door, but no one was home... except max & me.

Bronco went to the vet today to get the Big Fix. Or as Brian called it when max had the same procedure done (before he was a missionary & was taking Spanish in H.S.) - NO Dos Huevos-

I finally realized after a lot of looking around- that the huge icicles on my house were falling off. That meant even though it was 71 degrees a week ago it was just getting to be around 40 today. We got five inches of snow Sunday. Another five inches of snow Monday- none today (with the big warm up & all) and yes... we are expecting snow tomorrow.

Spring in Utah?

I hope it's not a lot because - look you can almost see my grass again!

At Christmas when I talked to the missionary on the phone he asked me if I had been going to the temple. Yes- I said. I had gone in November & December- but no I don't make it every month. I thought when my kids were all in school it would be so easy. But it hasn't been. It's all about priorities I guess? So- I promised myself- that if my son can spend two years of his life, postponing his education & everything else to teach people of Christ- I could at least make it to the temple every month. I mean- hey- I only live 8 minutes away- I clocked it.

I wasn't sure I was going to make it.
But I did! Even if it was the last day of the month.


It felt so good to be in the temple today.
I couldn't help but tear up over & over recounting my enormous blessings- especially in the past two years. I am so grateful not to miss this month. I won't wait so long next month. I hope.
