Four Weddings and a Funeral

So some of you might be wondering what I did with all of my free time prior to landing a job at the YMCA. Turns out I did a little sightseeing of LDS temples in the region. Somehow I managed to make it to four temples within eight days and most of them for a good reason.

We, meaning Kristen and I, decided to start our tour with the Bountiful temple on a Friday that is. Close to home, beautiful, white, large, etc. So we trekked up the hill, in her father's CRV, and managed to snap a few pictures of the temple and somehow she even got me to smile for the picture ( a sure miracle I'm certain).

The next temple on the list happened to be the Provo temple. I had driven down to that blessed region for a lovely dinner of chicken, candied carrots and cuscus. It was quite delicious and was followed up by exciting activities. Kristen even got the wonderful idea to drop by the temple and see all of the beautiful flowers. This was at 10:30 mind you so we weren't sure that the temple would be open. Well the temple turned out to be opened but the flowers had been ripped out previous to our visit. I had to console her for a little while but then I told her if she would cheer up I would buy her an some candy runts.

We then took a few days break before heading up to Salt Lake for the next adventure. Kristen had to do a project on the Salt Lake Temple and the astronomy signs on the face of the temple. It was quite the interesting assignment. There are stars everywhere, phases of the moon, the Ursa Major and a few other symbols. I had never really looked at the temple that way and it was thrilling. After we had had enough we deicided to meander over to the temple in the Daybreak area. Well meander would be the incorrect word choice because Thai food was being provided for us and we couldn't resist.

When we arrived at our hosts home we were asked to take Stella, the dog, on a walk. We walked the two blocks to the temple and ran around like crazy while the camera did the work. Obviously the video speaks for itself so I'll refrain from commenting any further.

Oh, and did I mention that we managed to stop by the cemetary in between these temple excursions? Well we did and had to take a picture. If you can't figure out I would go to a cemetary, specifically the Centerville City Cemetary then maybe you should be frequenting the blog more often. And as a minor sidenote, we attended no funerals and certainly no weddings over those eight days.
