a funny little story.....
It's my Grandpa bday today......he's 94. He's suffering through dementia which is never fun for anyone. Mostly he "lives" somewhere in his past and talks to folks that aren't in the room but every once in a while will pop back to you in the room before he retreats back into his mind. My Dad & I went back to Utah this summer to visit him and I'm really grateful we got the chance to do that. While we were back in Utah, my Aunt Marylin, who is super cool, was planning on going through the newest temple "Oquirrh Mountain" in South Jordan before it was dedicated and asked if we wanted to go. (Before a temple is dedicated, they open it up and anyone can take a guided tour of the building.) My Pops looked to me for my answer, cause he's awesome like that. I figured why not, I'll never get to go inside otherwise so I might as well. Well my cousin, who is NOT cool and kind of a beotch, and her 13 yr old daughter also joined us. When we were leaving my Aunt asked me what I thought of the building.....my reply was "Well to be honest, I'm just glad we're all safe. I was pretty sure me or the temple was going to catch on spontaneous fire when I stepped inside. So once I relaxed, yeah it was beautiful!" My Aunt & Pops totally started laughing. My cousin shot me an evil look cause now she had to explain to her child she's raising under a rock that "yes there ARE actually people that don't go to church!" Soooooooo good! hehehe
