Open House


Colin and I took the boys to the Draper Temple Open House on Saturday. It was very crowded and took a long time but it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing that I was excited to take Ryan to. He's watched that temple being built for several months now and often asks about it. He is sort of fascinated by temples, just wish he would have remembered it then. I didn't get any pictures of us there because the walkways into and out of the temple were covered and you obviously aren't allowed to take pictures inside. But, I got pictures of the boys inside the car! LAME. Oh well.

That's awesome you got to go and take Ryan too. You wish you could somehow force their minds to remember how beautiful it is inside and the Spirit that is there so they won't ever want anything but to be there again someday soon. Anyway, I'm jealous that you got to be there but glad it was such a good experience. I miss being so close to so many temples (and we're only an hour away now but it's just not the same). It's definitely a beautiful one!

How did your boys do during the tour? I'm debating whether or not I should take mine.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
