Wordless Wednesday - Temple With Friends

A Day With Friends

This morning I had the honor of attending the temple with my son's new mother-in-law, who is also my friend, Claudia Smith. What a wonderful experience we had. We enjoyed the peace that can only be experienced in the Lord's House. We then walked to Lake Natomas and chatted the whole time. We ended our morning with lunch at Rubios. YUM! Thank you Claudia! Thank you for your friendship and for the gift of your sweet daughter in my life....and, by the way, this is the yummiest whole wheat bread and strawberry jam I have EVER eaten!!!

As if my morning were not perfect enough, I got to spend the evening with my dear friend Tara! Her sweet husband did Dad duty so she could visit me in Placerville. We had dinner at a new restaurant here in Placerville - Bricks Eats and Drinks. What a fun restaurant! We stopped for frozen yogurt at Whistle Stop, and came back to the house where she gave me iPad lessons and we looked at our DC pictures and talked until she turned into a pumpkin at midnight. I sure do love my friends. I am so blessed!

I can't wait!!!

TEMPLE TRIP

Tonight we did a session at the Sacramento Temple with Alyssa and Alax. It was our first time back with them since their wedding day. We vowed to meet them there more often.

A pretty poor shot of the four of us (we did the last session - it was after 10 pm)

- TEMPLE WITH TACY

- WARD TEMPLE ASSIGNMENT

- KAYLA AND KURT BEREJKOFF

Today I had the privilege of attending the wedding of Kurt Berejkoff and Kayla Montgomery at the Sacramento LDS Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony. Congratulations Kurt and Kayla!

- CLEANING THE TEMPLE

Kurt and I had the opportunity to clean the Sacramento Temple tonight. We arrived at 9:00 p.m. as the last session was ending. We cleaned bathrooms, vaccuumed, dusted, mopped, etc. I had the wonderful opportunity to clean the bride's room. Knowing that Alyssa will be getting ready for her wedding in that room in almost 2 months made this experience even more special. We cleaned until 11:00 p.m. I can't wait for the chance to come back and do this again!

- BUSY SATURDAY

This morning Tyler came over and he and I had a car wash in the driveway. My car was still pretty buggy from my trip to Utah and he hadn't washed his for awhile either. We sure love our Camrys!

Kurt and I planted the flowers and shrubs we bought last night. We planted Alyssum and Vinca in front of the dining room window and boxwoods down below the window. It sure looks nice to have some color there now. Thanks for the inspiration Angie and Greg!!!

This afternoon Kurt and I attended a session at the Sacramento Temple. Nathan Mackey went through for the first time. Several of our ward members came to be there with him. I sure love having a temple so close by!!!

Tonight Kurt, Alyssa and I attended Cherise Wehe and Arland Baker's wedding in Camino and then their reception in Diamond Springs. Bishop Gastaldi married them. It was a really fun night.
