Going to the Temple

Has anyone ever experienced all heck breaking loose when you try to go to the temple? Well Alli and I have. We were trying to get the kids ready and get over to Grandma Mower's house to drop off the kids and go to the temple, but it was the most frustrating experience ever. I guess it probably only seems like that at the time, but I really was on the verge of loosing my mind. I had Blake right under my feet yelling the whole time we were getting ready and Tyler screaming the whole time. Alli and I were fighting about stupid stuff. It just seems like someone or something really does not want us to go to the temple.

Well we sucked it up and went anyway. It was a great experience. We had two family names to do thanks to Grandpa and Grandpa Jones preparing them for us. My Uncle Tony Mower, and my Grandma Elaine Mower. Last night we were able to do the initiatory work on their behalf. It was pretty special for me to be able to help my uncle in that way. It is the first time I have done temple work for someone that I knew.

With all of the hassle and frustrations that we experienced trying to go to the Temple is was still way worth the effort. Alli and I are going to make it a goal to go to the temple on a monthly basis. I really think that going to the temple will help us in our marriage...If we don't kill each other on the way there :).
