When the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Basin it was a desert, a wasteland of sagebrush. Somehow they managed to build the remarkable Salt Lake Temple<\/a> in spite of their dire poverty. They had a dream: to live free and build an earthly paradise.<\/p>\n

About a hundred years after its completion, my wife an I were married there (you can see it in the background in the pic). My wife is a descendant of the Mormon pioneers via Wyoming.ww<\/p>\n

Saturday evening my sweetheart and I headed up to Temple Square where we had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, on the top floor of a building right across the street. The drive was a good time for us to re-connect and have some time to talk, just us two. I like to get in the slow lane and take my time and she’s always harping on me to pick up the pace.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, the first of the new year, we started our new church block at 9am. It’s a good time slot. We got the kids up bright and early, got on our Sunday best and headed out. I spent most of the time in nursery with Willow, just giving Tamie a break. Willow is a mild-mannered girl and doesn’t fuss. If another child takes a toy from her she just moves on to the next thing. She kept pulling the bow out of her hair. She doesn’t like that thing.<\/p>\n

I got a call last night saying that a counselor of the Bishop wanted to talk to both my wife and I. This generally means that the new calling is going to be time-intensive (ie the wife has to be on board). But as it turns out we were both called to teach cub scouts. My elder son will be in that class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
