"Our feelings about the temple are the truest indicators of our deepest feelings about Christ."
-Elder Robert E. Wells
Love the clouds and rain
Happy Birthday Wendy Marie
Wendy and Charlotte probably
around 1977. Wendy and Charlotte are James's
brother Dave's daughters.
James had an accident at work today. This is the text I received:
"Twenty minutes ago I was standing on the trailer unloading rebar when I stepped onto a broken plank which broke off and my bad leg fell through and was wedged between the boards and I fell forward over the edge and hit my head on the ground. I was in pain and couldn't move and two men had to help me out."
I also got a call from Stacy. She is freaking out about all of the messes in the house. I called James and asked why he took all the cabinet doors off in the kitchen when the bathroom and laundry room aren't finished. He says I yelled at him but I say I didn't. I made him feel bad so I apologized. He has been pressuring me to come today when originally I hadn't planned on coming down until tomorrow. Trina is being induced tomorrow but probably won't have the baby until later on in the afternoon.
Kim and Brian are coming up here today and so before I leave I have to clean out the refrigerator. I cleaned the frig, paid some bill, had lunch, did laundry, vacuumed upstairs and answered phone calls. Stacy is excited about a new business venture with her friend Elska who is a realtor.
I sure hate to leave today. I am enjoying the rain and the 70 degree weather. I booked a room for $63 a night at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Chandler. I don't want to stay at the house because the bathroom is still torn up. I leave for the valley around 4:45 and Kim, Brian, Joe, and Alex leave to come up here about the same time. We were going to meet in Payson but they were slowed by traffic so it didn't happen.
There is a steady stream of traffic coming up here for the weekend from the valley. In Show Low people already have their chairs set out on the side of the street for tomorrow's parade. I make a stop for a Big Hunk candy bar which helps keep me awake and then I had dinner at Sonic, a New York dog.
There is a dust storm as I am coming into the valley. I tried to take pictures but they didn't turn out very well.
James already check into the hotel. We are on the third floor in room 338.
