Draper and Darby

Last Sunday before heading home from Salt Lake we were able to tour the new Draper temple.  We had a rocky start as our tour was scheduled at 12:30.  I was so preoccupied with getting the boys and myself in our Sunday best and loading up the truck that it didn't even dawn on me when we left that it was lunch and nap time.  So by the time we drove out to Draper both of the boys were fast asleep.  We woke both boys up where they quickly realized they had empty stomachs.  We were also at the wrong entrance so we stood in the cold weather for awhile trying to figure out where our tour guide was.  We were pretty frustrated after waiting almost an hour and were tempted to just get on the road and head home.  Luckily we didn't and had a wonderful experience taking our boys through to see this new temple.  If you live in the area I highly recommend going to see it. They are dedicating it in March so don't delay.  You can take your kids, family with out temple recommends, or non-members who have wondered what all the fuss is about those temples anyways.  It really is a beautiful temple, probably in my top three!  After we loaded back into the snowy truck to head home, as we were driving away Haydn said from the backseat, "Thank you for taking me to the temple.  I really loved it."  Ahhh,that makes it all worth it!

In other news, the dinner for Darby last night was very successful!  They had a line out the school for most of the night.  All the money raised went directly to Darby's family to help out in this difficult time.  It was wonderful to see all the support this community gave and made us proud to be a part of it.  If you were unable to attend, but would still like to help out there is an account set up for the family at Village Bank.
