our 1st BLOG!
Hopefully many more to follow.
We took a trip down south to the Gila Valley LDS Temple.
piled into our very big suburban that only sits 8. (we had 9)
Jim, Steff, Kayla, Blaine, Hannah, Sami, Alex, TJ, and Hayeong!
we left around 12:30pm
The whole crew went and as usual- it was a circus just to leave the house!
what movies to take, can we bring a snack, what if I get bored?
once we were on our way- just down the street- it became a 3 ring circus!
do I have to sit here? she's touching me- i don't like to be touched! but, I don't want to watch that movie!!
After some yelling, cajoling, pleading. . . "you guys, we just prayed for harmony in our car!!" . . . everyone settled and we pretty much enjoyed the drive. a little nausea, some sleeping, don't touch me ever again!
we arrive in beautiful Globe,AZ, to eat lunch at a local diner.
Jim says, "What time is the last appointment of the day at the temple?"
Steff says, "Can you look it up on your phone?"
. . . . after some searching and phone calling, it becomes apparent that we goofed! The temple open house is over and has been. . . since Saturday!
All that way to eat lunch at Jerry's in Globe???
Should we press on?
Yes, yes, we must keep going, after all we came this far. Let's see what we can see. . .
we arrive at the temple, so beautiful on a breezy cool May day.
But, wait! Workers are there!
Could someone let us come in and
look around? We have a non-member
w/ us all the way from S. Korea!!
We wait, and lo and behold . . . Bill comes to our rescue. He is in charge of maintenance and will be happy to show us around.
Personalized tour! how GREAT is this??
Our faith has been rewarded! What a beautiful trip,
Now onto the picture out front. .
Tj- get off the railroad tracks and come be in the picture!
Let's stop fighting! Don't worry about your hair and the lovely breeze making a mess of it! Just look at Daddy and smile!!
camera's dead, must use Jim's cell phone!
Still, it was a great trip!
