Ninth Passage

David, Morgan, and Lydia, and I, just returned from a weekend in Utah. Morgan and Lydia hung out with their dad, and David and I went to downtown Salt Lake City. First we checked out the new mall they have down there. Very fancy and pretty. 

Then we went to the Salt Lake temple. 

This was our first time going to the temple together, and it was such a good experience. We felt the Spirit together, and we felt the desire even more, to be sealed together in the Lord's house. I want my David forever. 

After the temple, it was well into the afternoon, and we were HUNGRY. So we went to the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building to have an early dinner or late lunch. It served as both. We planned on going to the roof restaurant, but at $40 a plate, we changed our minds and went to the Garden restaurant instead. We had a lovely view.

 But here was my favorite view....

 We had to get a photo together.

 When we were full to bursting we went to the Conference Center to walk on the roof. They have four acres up there with trees, fountains, meadows, and waterfalls. Very cool.

We went back to the JSM building and watched the movie they had playing at the Legacy theater, which was also nice to do together.

We went back to the mall where we had parked the car. We found a broken escalator, so David had to use the wrong side... :)

We had such a lovely day together, and felt so close and in love.

The next day we headed back home. Lydia is a horrible traveling companion. She screams so so much! It can be very frazzling in the car.

We stopped at a gas station in Sublett Idaho so Morgan could go to the bathroom. They had llamas there!

We let the kids feed them.

Oh, and Morgan was playing with my phone for a time and took a multitude of pictures. 74 of those pictures were close-ups of his face, many had hardly any differences. 

What a goofball.
