Whoa Nelly

So I haven't posted in a while and I feel a bit guilty. I've had ample time to do so, but have been getting into a few books and Zelda on the Wii. Anyway, in our attempt to really embrace the reason for the season Michelle and I joined our friends the Stokes, Morbys, Edvarchuks, Granges, and Brincks for a lovely evening with the First Presidency. Kim E was able to score a several tickets to the Christmas Devotional and we were lucky enough to be available. It was honestly amazing. It gets me so excited for service and looking for someone I can help out. The messages were uplifting and--as always--comical. Afterwards, we, the Morbys, Edvarchuks, and Brincks strolled around temple square to check out the lightage.

Here is a shot of the temple...such a beaute

meesh and I having a fun sexy time in front of the aptly dubbed flaming bush. The lights were an awesome orangish red, but the flash kinda drowned it out.

The pond in front of the temple. This pic turned out amazing, but it is better at a larger res.

A lovely candid of the Brincks. Cory may get mad at me for this, but I will let you in on a funny thing he said while standing in awe of the temple. He thought the pyramids below the spires (refer to above pic of temple) were curtains. He just barely realized Sunday night that they were stone. True story...he's still my hero.

Group photo...thanks to the stone ledge for supporting my camera to allow a 1 second exposure.

It was a fun night of spiritual messages, friendship, and cookies (thanks Kim). We finished the evening by driving home to the sound of Brian Regan...those who recognize the name need no explanation. Happy Holidays and rock steady.
