Why don't we get away?

Thanks to Tom & Kristy, we got to go on a getaway Fri/Sat. We barely made it to the SL Temple for the 2:00 session--I made Dad run cause they only start sessions every hour. It was so great to be there. Both of us really enjoyed being in a live session again. We remembered our wedding day and the many times we would go there the first few years after we were married. After, we went back to the car then decided to try and see the Joseph Smith movie since it was still too early to check in. As we were walking a young man said "Excuse me sir, but aren't you Travis Hall's dad?" It was Seth Johnson who lived by us in AF and dad was his scout master for awhile. He said he was still a "bounder". He and his wife had been in the session with us but neither of us recognized him. It was good to visit for a minute. We then got over to the JS bldg and the movie was just about to start so they let us in the back door and just as we sat down the movie started. I love that movie and am always so humbled to remember the sacrifice of the Prophet and the early saints. We have so much to be grateful for.

How fun. I am glad you guys got a little break. Too bad you didnt get a picture of both of you at the temple.
