Time Away


David had a business trip to the big city of Fremont NE. I was able to tag along, my parents babysat the kids. YEA!!!! The first night there we went to check the movie times for the next day and David accidentally pushed the PANIC button. Well it was a rental car and we did not know how it all worked. The car went crazy, lights and horns blowing, we could not figure out how to stop it. It was embarrasing and people kept stopping by to try to help. We tried every button and finally walked back to the hotel to call the rental company. The company told us to slide a button on the remote and a key popped out. The key turned in the door stopped the alarms at last and the car worked. What a mess the alarms only lasted 3 mins, seemed like forever, but the lights flashed another 20 mins. Lucky for us we were about 1/2 a mile from the hotel so walking both ways was not a problem.
The trip was nice and the kids were not happy to see us when we returned. They liked having breakfast made everyday and movies at night. Oh well that is life.
We stopped at Winter Quarters Visitors Center and the Kanesville Tabernacle. Oliver Cowdery, my cousins on my mothers side are direct descendants from him, came back to the church at the Kanesville Tablernacle. Brigham Young was sustained as the Prophet there also.
We listened to the book "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks while driving. It is a heartbreaking story. I should have expected that, I have read a few others and they always pull at the heart strings.
It was nice to be with David alone and without the normal distractions of life.
Here is a cute photo of Cenny and JT in costumes from the chest.
