The youth in our ward headed down to the Mesa Temple to see the light last night, Sean's with the Priest, and we thought we would make it a family trip. So, I was driving- and thought I remembered exactly how to get there. But I didn't remember as well as I thought I did! I was just one block off, but one block off doesn't get you there! So after thinking I was so smart- till we drove about as far down into Mesa as we should have, I admitted that things were not looking so familiar.
So the GPS came out- didn't really work, but it was a nice hood ornament! I finally call information on my cell, and the address came back 525 E Nain (should have been MAIN). REALLY! Everything in the universe was trying to keep us from being on time! So, we finally came to the conclusion that being late was just part of the plan. So who knows why, but we did finally make it to see the Temple lights. Beautiful!! I loved the palm trees all lit up, the camels and wise men coming across the north lawn were amazing! And a pretty cute "old people" choir were singing on the stage. It was fun, the kids favorite part was the floating "bubbles" on the water. It really did remind me of a piece of Utah, except for there was no snow (I'm great with that), and I'll take lit palm trees any day!

What a fun family pic!! How sad is it that we only live 10 minutes from there and we haven't yet been to see the lights!!?? Probably/hopefully tomorrow night...
Looks like fun. I just commented on Camilles that I had talked myself out of making the drive but I think its time to do it!
Yesterday David's twin came into the bakery. Same face, same "no butt", same energy. Had a a little sister and little brother (home with grandma)I sure do miss you guys. Loved the picture. Anxious to see you.
