Whee…What A Week!!!!

This has been a whirlwind of a week and today I am sort of taking a break from it all.

1. I have finished all of my apples and they are all dried and in bags for our winter eating.  They are DELICOUS with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on them.
2. Had two job interviews – maybe one of them will come through – if not then will put in more applications next week

8. Cleaned, mopped and dusted my house
9. Took all the canning supplies down stairs for the winter now the back bedroom looks like a bedroom again
10. Dick trimmed the neighbors hedge so we can see the temple better  YEAH!!!!
11. Met a new family in our ward with the cutest little girls – they came for Evan’s old little bike

Fall 2011…

Today we took a drive up Sardine Canyon and this is what we seen…

One of the most favorite times of the year is when God starts to paint his tapestry of fall colors.  They are awesome!!!!

New Provo, Utah Temple Announced…

WOW!!!!!

What a surprise this morning during the 181st Semiannual LDS Conference, when our beloved Prophet announced the newest temple to be built in Utah.  The old Tabernacle in Provo that was burned last year will be rebuilt into a temple, keeping the same look as before the fire. 

This is the most gorgeous building in Provo and I remember early in my 20’s attending a single adult conference with some other single adults in the area.  The interior was amazing and breath taking to me.

I immediately thought of my family members that live close to this new temple and how their lives will be so blessed with their close proximity to this House of the Lord. 

What an honor it is for me to live so close to our temple and to see the construction of this great building.  The first thing I see in the morning as I open my window blinds are the two spires of the temple and the last thing I see at night as I close the blinds are these same spires extending toward heaven.  We are anxiously counting the time when this building will be dedicated and open for us to do the ordinance work for those that have gone before.
