I also got the chance to visit a new temple this month! My
friend Cardin Frei and I spent a Saturday driving up to the Kansas City,
Missouri temple, about 45 minutes away to do a session together. It was great
to experience the beauty of a new temple as well as enjoy the fact that no
matter where you go, the principles and patterns of the Church are always the
same. It was a great way to spend the day and feel the Spirit.
(Not my picture.. but still beautiful!)
Saturday’s are the only night (except Sunday) that Dan has
off, so we don’t get a lot of time together to do anything, especially time
where he is not physically exhausted! We did take one weekend to go see Iron
Man 3 – it was pretty good, though to be honest by this point I can’t remember
a whole lot of the details! If that’s your kinda movie, and you liked the first
2, I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch. But since we’re new around here, we
just went to the first theater we found it in. It ended up being fairly pricey,
so we didn’t get popcorn – my favorite part! Needless to say, it is much harder
to enjoy a movie without a bag of popcorn in front of you!
We also went out as an office to eat at Oklahoma Joe’s.
Kansas is famous for BBQ, so it’s supposed to be this amazing BBQ restaurant;
apparently it’s actually on some top ten list of places you must eat at before
you die! Sadly, I’m not a big fan of BBQ so I didn’t enjoy it all that much.
But the boys went crazy! They absolutely loved it, and it was a ton of food for
a good price, so it’s a triple win for them.
Finally, the whole group went as an office to see an MLB
game: Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees! It was my first time going to a
professional game so although I’m not a huge baseball fan I was kind of
excited. It got pretty cold, and baseball is a loooong game; I spent most of my
time playing with my camera and talking to Dan. But it was a cool experience
nonetheless.
Not gonna lie May was
a tough month for me; it’s always so hard to pack up and move to a new place,
especially when it means such long work hours for Dan and long, lonely days for
me. I try to be supportive, but I’ll be glad when this part of our lives is
over!
