Mt. Timpanogos Temple & China Lily


This weekend I joined Emily, Jim, Mary, Grandma, Grandpa, Chad & Marie in the Timpanogos Temple for Emily's endowment. It was a wonderful experience since I had never done a session there before there & especially fun to be there with family. It was great to go on a Saturday & have the feeling of the temple continue with me into a Sunday. I was glad I made it, I might have had to speed a little to get there, but I always like to be early & I was cutting it close. After the session, we were going to meet at The Spaghetti Factory, then a couple other restaurants but all the waits were really long. As I was driving around, completely lost (I know where The Spaghetti Factory is, but only if I am getting off of I-15, not coming from the temple apparently) Emily & Jim found that China Lily could get us all right in. Amanda & Carlie, along with Sarah, Joel & Will joined us & had dinner. I finally made it just in time for the food. :) The waitress that recognized Grandma was nice & chatty, she also brought us fortune cookes for our dessert. Here is what mine said. Wow, when I showed Lorin, he practically said that it was no fortune, he has been telling me that for years!

Thanks for the invite to the temple, Emily! I can always use a push the get me out the door, & I was happy to be there with family. And thanks to Jim for dinner! It was great to see all of you & hopefully we can make an appearance at Thanksgiving!

  1. It's a perfect photo with the American Express card next to the fortune.

  2. We, too, enjoyed the spirit of the temple and the association with family and friends. Also thanks to Jim for the meal - China Lily did a good job filling us up all the way. All in all, a great day!

  3. Disclaimer: The American Express card is only a magnet on the refrigerator. It is pretty fitting though, huh?
