On Sacred Ground

Sean and I were lucky enough to get two of the only 3000 tickets for the Payson Temple groundbreaking.  At least we thought we were lucky....... We were so excited to go and even more excited that our boys made the choice to get up early that Saturday morning to attend the broadcast of the ground breaking at the Stake Center.  Once we got their, we realized they got the good end of the deal.  Not really, it was really neat to be able to be there for this historic event although it was cold and raining and did I mention COLD!  I couldn't feel my toes by the end of it.  We had our two huge soccer shade umbrellas and our Levi quilt in the car luckily, so that helped us survive.  It was worth it to be there to hear Brother Oaks speak and feel of the blessings that we will receive by having a temple here.  It was also fun to learn that he had spent some of his growing up years in Payson and went to the green church that we went to when we were first married.  We thought it would be good to head to McDonalds for some hot chocolate and breakfast when we were done, but apparently, the rest of the 3000 had the same idea and the line was super long, so we headed home and made hot chocolate there.
