Draper Temple Dedication

A few weeks ago Melissa and I went to the Draper Temple dedication at BYU.  It was such an amazing experience.  Seeing 10,000 hankerchiefs in the air as we shouted "Hosanna" was so powerful.  I couldn't hold back my emotions as we sang "The Spirit of God."  I love to live in a place where the temple is so close.  I've made a commitment to go more often and it has made my life better and happier.  

A Fun Fun Weekend!

Melissa invited me to go home with her to California this weekend.  What a blast!  We went to Disneyland, I played golf with her dad and brother, we ate at In and Out...

It was a fun weekend indeed!

sick when we were walking toward it.

Stewart wanted to be in every picture with us.  Later he told

me to "Get lost".  He loves Melissa.  He doesn't love me.

I need to lose some weight.

Melissa and I on our long 9 hour drive.  We later learned that it takes 10 hours

to get to Murrieta.  Pretty much we dominated that drive.

Running Long Distances

Last weekend I ran a half-marathon, which is 13.1 miles of pure pain.  It was really a rewarding experience because all of the months of training actually paid off.  It was the hardest thing I've ever done though and I'm not sure I'll ever attempt it again.  It was a fun experience though.

Thumbs up!
