Whooosh

So we were driving home after a lovely Mabey-Miner family session of sealings at the Jordan River Temple last night when an unexpected event occurred.....I heard a thump sound followed by a PssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sound and then the car started bouncing a bit.  We found ourselves on the side of I-15 right before North Salt Lake, at 11:30 at night, with a shredded tire.  A couple of months ago the tire on our Civic was punctured pretty bad and we received valuable experience in changing that tire with JD's dad.  I am so grateful for parents who teach us important things.  We had that spare on pretty quickly and were on our way back home without any further incidents.  What an exciting (and soon to be expensive) temple night!

***Also, super grateful for the nice guy who pulled over to see if we needed any help.***

City Creek

JD & I made it down to City Creek today and just had a nice time walking around looking at the fish in the pond, the creek, the fountains, and Temple Square. I had fun finding shapes that spelled out our name, but I will have to share that another time.

In a nutshell....

Eclipse

Ogden Half Marathon

What a blast!  I can scratch off a Half Marathon off my wish list as of today.  I loved participating in the Ogden Half Marathon.  It was seriously so much fun.  I liked the whole course....except the last 7 blocks on Grant with the Finish line glaring at me in the distance.  Utah blocks aren't short and that part just wasn't much fun, though the crowd was great.  I couldn't have asked for a better race buddy.  Erin was fantastic too and it was fun to have that experience together.

 

 

 

 

2 1/2 Hours

If you don't have about 3 hours available.....DO NOT go into the war surplus section of Smith & Edwards with your sisters.

Brigham

We stopped by the Brigham Temple to see how it was coming along today, I love it, and I am so sad that I won't even be around for when they open it.  I liked how the pictures turned out though-they look almost as if they were computer generated to me, only instead of people in church attire, there are little construction men.
