Tonight we went to the Draper Temple Open House with our good friends, the Scotts. It was a great experience to walk through the temple and appreciate all of the thought and detail that goes into planning a House of the Lord. Everything in it truly does point to Him, from the artwork to the cleanliness to the symbolism to the architecture. It was nice to have a mid-week break!
This past weekend, we went to the Hunger Banquet with our friends, Chris and Karim Jones. They were nice enough to sit with us in the "low-income" seating where our tickets were, even though they had "middle-class" tickets. It is always an interesting experience at the Hunger Banquet. I wish that they would have had the keynote speaker earlier in the program, but it was a good reminder to count your blessings and to get some information about how to help.

Also, Chris Nixon came into town this weekend, which was such a fun treat! Brian and Lisa had the old group over for a delicious dinner and some good laughs. We miss all of our friends who live far away and can't wait to find excuses to visit! :) We are lucky to have such wonderful friends.
