Count Down Begins...

I have been on maturnity leave since May 18, 2009 and although it has been hard work I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I have 20 days left and then I go back to work. I am excited to go back to work to see my employees and have some adult time, however I will miss my boy so much.

My first day back will be Monday August 31, 2009.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

I have never gone through an open house before the Draper Temple. I remember when I was in Youg Women's we tried to go through the open house of the Timpanogos Temple, however it was a four hour wait. So going through the Draper Temple was and exciting night that Jeremy and I shared it was on Valentine's Day and we were able to share that with each other.

From June 1, 2009 to August 1, 2009 the church opened the Oquirrh Mountain Temple doors for people to see and view. I am especially excited for this temple, since this temple is part of our stake - of coarse you can go to any temple - but with it being new and beautiful its exciting to have it be part of your ward.

So Jeremy and I decided to get my family and some friends and see the Temple. Landon, Cristy, Riley, Zach, Logan, Brooke, Mom, Jon, Lauren, Andrew, Jeremy, Jack and I were the attendies. It took us a little over and hour and a half to go through the temple then afterwards we went over to Red Robin to eat. I was starving. It was quite a wait so Jon, Lauren, Andrew, Landon, Cristy, Riley, Zach and Logan headed over to Petco to keep the kids entertained. Jeremy decided to keep Jack entertained by helping him dance to the music.

Then they just decided to enjoy the evening.

It was a really fun night and I can't wait until Jeremy and I can do a session in our new temple.

Neighborhood BBQ's

When we moved into our wonderful money pit of a house we were told that everyone always gets together in the summer time and does a neighborhood BBQ. Well the first summer we moved into the house nothing happened. Then the next year we waited to see if anything would happen and nothing. So last year Jeremy and Joe Smith decided to put a neighborhood bbq together. It was a really good success and it was so much fun we had people asking if we were going to do it again. So Jeremy pretty much planned it this time and we decided to include 6430 W neighbors to north of Black Oak Drive. Well due to it being the 24th of July weekend it wasn't a very big turn out and instead of having a mixture of salads and dessert we mainly had a dessert BBQ with one salad ours. We had decided to have everyone bring thier own meat and for the even houses to bring dessert and the odd houses to bring salads. I think we were the only odd numbered house there. Oh well it was still fun. I think we will try and plan another one before it gets too cold.

Thank you to everyone who helped and came it was really fun!
