I was right!  It did snow last night.
 I love the trees with snow.
 Quick, before it melts!
 My tree.
There was 2-3 inches of snow on the ground when I got up this morning.  I had to take some pictures before it all melted.

I had my regular gospel study this morning except in place of conference talks I ran off all the talks from the General Women's Meeting so I can start reading them tomorrow.  Also, I am almost caught up on my blog!
Today's Quote
"This is the promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Atonement: . . .that ar the end of our lives, we can go through the veil having repented of our sins and having been washed clean through the blood of Christ."
-Boyd K. Packer

I left the house later than planned, around 11am.  Before leaving James had me turn off both the well and the pump.  Yes, you guessed it, I'm going to the valley.  I made it to Payson where I got gas, washed my car and had some lunch.  I was pretty sleepy coming down the rim but felt revived after lunch.  By the time I got to Fountain Hills I was drowsy again so I stopped at a Circle K and got a Big Hunk bar.  It worked!  The chewing kept me awake.  Gum just doesn't work nearly as well as a Big Hunk.  I arrived in Chandler, unloaded the car and settled in for a short nap before James got home.  

We picked up Kim to go to the Gilbert temple around 4:45.  We thought we were going to the 5:30 session but sessions only start on the hour at this temple so we were the first ones seated in the chapel for the 6pm session.  Here are some of the people we saw that we know: Nancy Brimhall, Carol Tolman, and Mark Saxy who were all temple workers.  Brad Holm and John Myers were in our session.  I could have sat in that celestial room a little longer but James was anxious to go.  It was a wonderful way to spend the evening!

Since Kim has work tomorrow we took her home and then we went to Chili's to get something to eat.  I had the tilapia with mango salsa, broccoli and rice.  It was perfect, not too heavy but very tasty.
