One of my very best friends from Texas came to visit last week. Holly Byers came to Utah to bring her son to EFY. Lucky for us she got to come stay at our house Thursday and Friday night. It was so good to see her again and laugh and laugh, just like old times. I sure have missed her. We rode Goliath, went bowling, looked for Donny's house (we are sure we found it), shopped a little, introduced her to Cafe Rio, took a Conference Center tour, visited temple square, the Joseph Smith Building and Church Office building. I LOVED having her here and hope she comes back soon!

Draper Temple House

Grandma, Kent, Zac, Holly, Summer and I were able to go to Draper Temple Open House on March 11th. We were all in awe at how beautiful it was. This was the first open house that Zac, Holly and Summer have been too and they really enjoyed being able to see parts of the temple they have never seen before. We spent a few minutes in the sealing room which was a favorite. We looked in the mirrors and saw our family go on and on and on. Corinne came down from BYU-I on Saturday the 14th and she and Kami were able to tour the temple then.
