Driving Around American Fork

Today after dropping Richard off, Steven and I decided to head north of the temple and drive around a few neighborhoods just to see what was out there in the way of houses for sale. We've often thought it would be nice to live in American Fork because of the proximity to the temple; but the prices over there have always seemed high, plus we love our house here, so we haven't looked around over there for awhile. But today we just decided to drive around, and we actually saw a couple of nice houses for sale which are located not too far from the temple. One of the houses we really liked a lot, and it turned out to be right next door to Elder Jay Jensen's house. We knew because he was out on his four-wheeler moving snow around. So we stopped and talked to him. That was okay because he's from Springville and he knows Grandpa T. and Dad. So we had a very nice visit with him and he told us what a great neighborhood it is and everything. I don't know if anything will come of our adventure--we'll just have to see.

After our house looking, we came home and got some things done around here; then we went back over to the temple for ward temple night. We were supposed to meet in the chapel for the 5:30 session, so we arranged for Richard to meet us in there after he got off work at 5:00. But it turned out, things were to busy for him to stop at 5:00, so we had to go on the session without him and he worked until 7:00. Most of the people from the ward who were expecting to go on the 5:30 session weren't able to either because it was so crowded. Anyway, we had a nice time participating in the 5:30 session. We met up with Richard later and came along home. We're looking forward to having Dad's Bday dinner here tomorrow evening with the Barretts.
