So, it started on Friday night with a trip to dinner with a couple friends, hanging out in a backyard, jumping on the trampoline, etc. Then, I went up to This is The Place Heritage Park to pass out flyers for the Relay for Life to high school kids. It was amazing... kids lined up to get our fliers! There was a girl there passing out info on another dance and she kept getting mad cause the kids liked ours better... there were WAY more of hers that ended up on the ground! haha! Sucker! That's what she gets for being a beasty!
Then, Saturday morning, my sister and I were able to take our nieces and nephew to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Since we live in Daybreak, we were allowed a special sneak-peek tour! It was gorgeous, as all Temples are. I'm pretty sure this is the Temple that I will someday be married in. It was so amazing to feel how strong the Spirit was there, even though it hasn't been dedicated yet. Temples truly are the House of the Lord... it made me really start to be excited to go to this temple as much as I can once it's open!
Isn't it gorgeous? And just steps away from my house!
After that, I packed my bags and met up with some friends to head up to Pineview Reservoir up Ogden canyon. We rented a huge house in Eden and it was a blast.
While we were up there, we went to a local LDS ward and had the opportunity to hear from several Vets from the Korean War, Vietnam, and even some stories from WWII. It was great to listen to such wonderful stories and pay tribute to our soldiers, especially those who have given their lives, to defend the freedoms we enjoy! We also heard a hilarious youth speaker who told a story about two girls who walked in on his friend going to the bathroom... and related it to sharing our testimonies. What? Yeah. I miss youth speakers!
Here are some photos from the weekend:
