So many fun things to share!
- Today we saw Maddie Christensen at the Provo City Center Temple Dedication! She was endowed in the Payson Temple yesterday! She leaves on May 9th, and she was just GLOWING!!
- The Temple dedication was so awesome. Seth was able to attend and participate in the Hosanna shout. He was pretty impressed. One of the general authorities used the scripture "Beauty for ashes", perfect for the Tabernacle turned temple.
- One of the firefighters fighting the Tabernacle fire 5 years ago had a water cannon pointed at the tabernacle. The water cannon would have demolished the outside, the pioneer bricks that housed so many talks by Joseph F. Smith and so many other prophets. The fire chief commanded him to stand down, and saved the outside of the tabernacle. One of the brethren talked about how kids like to have "do overs", if they lose a game or something they like to try again. He said the tabernacle is having a do over.
- So much of our week was absorbed in Brigadoon. it was more insane than the language at my command has power to communicate. We started DYING the costumes at 4:00, and opening night started at 7:30. The cast went out with soaking wet socks. I've spent a lot of my time this week sewing in the happy company of Grandma Jan, Grandma Jello, Jayna, Heidi Sorensen, Katy Lewis and my fun sister Jeni. Jeni is over here so much and it is absolute heaven.
- Friday night was an absolute blast! It was the dance that John asked Jeni to. The Riverton Jazz band provide the live music. It was a dinner dance. JOHN RENTED A FULL TUX AND BOUGHT A GORGEOUS CORSAGE! It was so so precious. Spen danced the cha cha with his mama during his break. It was such fun company.WE just had a blast. Sent a pic.
- WE had the MOST AWESOME IDEA EVER!! Are you sitting down? Think waffle love, think free, think free t-shirts, think Spencer and Kaden PAYING FOR THEIR MISSIONS!! Here is the short version. Spen goes to a business and asks them to buy 100 tshirts from him with a custom design that includes their business name. THEN, he sets a time where his awesome driving couch, his bus, his couch bike, whatever we come up with is at their place of business distributing 100 free T-SHIRTS! He will have thousands of followers, because everyone subscribes to him to get their free tshirt, the business will have 100 human billboards every time people wear the t-shirt, and the free tshirt recipient will be asked to subscribe and post, so they will have 100 posts with their t-shirt on it. Even if the people never walk into the place of business, they have 100 human billboards and get their name out there in a way that they could not do without Spencer's help and connections. What he really wants to do is have a tshirt business, so he's happy because he's selling tshirts to the guys who have money, the businesses, and making money. THEN, next to his tshirt bus he has a rack of HIS OWN TSHIRTS that the people can browse while they pick up thier free one! You may have to take over the business while he's on his mission, especially if they are famous. They can show up like wafffle love to events, cancer walks, concerts, all kinds of stuff, having prearranged and sold the 100 tshirts. ISNT THAT AMAZING??? We just need just one little freakin awesome bus.
- We had our first primary presidency meeting with Erin Terry as the new counselor. Words can not describe what a fan I am of that girl.
- Wednesday night Spen and I went up to see High School Musical at Derek and Marissa's elementary school. Marissa was the piano girl. It was SO SO CutE! We just laughed all night. Spen is a fun date.
- We are starting our Easter week tonight! Feast of the passover and such.
- Spen is thinking about running for SBO. Tell him what you think about it all, woodja?
Why are you so fun? I have had so many comments about your letter last week, how delightful and positive you are.

I love you with all of my heart and soul, my real live rescue hero! Love. Mom
