This morning I went visiting teaching. Our first appointment was at 10am. I got a call from my mother and figured it was my birthday call. When I got home I listened to my message and couldn't believe she said NOTHING about my birthday. Facebook notifies ALL your friends it's your birthday so I got lots of wishes from my friends, some of whom I can't figure out why I know them. There's this lady who keeps telling me to say hi to my mother for her. I don't know who she is!!! There are people I may have grown up with that I can't figure out either. When someone sends me a friend request I accept it until they are inappropriate when they are deleted and blocked.

My mother called me again and wished me happy birthday right away. I told her I couldn't believe she didn't say anything on my voicemail and she said she didn't want to give birthday wishes to voicemail. So I let it go.

I went 20 minutes early to the Brigham City temple dedication. That didn't matter. I still was one of the last people there. I don't recall them doing this for the Draper temple. Jonni was saying something similar happened for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple but I don't remember and they certainly didn't cancel church. Jonni said they did and that I was here then. I had to tell her NOOO I remember going to the Oquirrh Open House with my Tongan singles ward and I remember the dedication but it was so close the the Draper one and the Tongan temple dedication broadcast that I didn't feel compelled to attend AND services were NOT cancelled.

I bought my handkerchief early BUUUT if you leave it at home that doesn't help you at all. I ended up taking kleenex the stake provided at the door. I can't believe I left it here. President Packer was all emotional since he and his wife grew up in Brigham City. It's also where he began his family. He was so touched to have the temple and his son who is now a general authority led the hosana shout. I felt his spirit. I don't think Elder Packer has long to live. He is older Than I ever remember him being.

I stopped David as he was leaving to ask him what we were doing for fhe. We are playing ping pong at Mindi's house. I REALLY like the tie he wore today. It's one of my favorite greens. If pewter had a fall green tint, that's the color it would be. I had a dress that color on my mission. I have a lightweight jacket that color too.

Wow, just got up asleep with this thing open.
