A Temple is coming to Payson!

This is week #2 in my goal to blog for twenty weeks in a row. My life is very ordinary, which I prefer actually but it is hard to find things interesting to write about. This week was exciting though, the LDS church announced they were building a temple right here in Payson. It is about a mile away from my house, if there wasn’t a house right in front of us we would have a great view.

We have heard rumors for years, I think ever since I have lived here, that they were thinking about building a temple here so it came as quite shock that they really were. I have to say I also wish that dang Target that has been rumored to be built in Spanish Fork would actually be built, but I guess a temple a mile away is just as good.

I have to confess the first things that went through my mind were #1 yeah my house value is going to raise if we want to sale in the next year or so, #2 No more excuses for not getting to the temple anymore #3 Dang maybe we shouldn’t move from Payson. It was probably in that order so I guess you know where my priorities are.

I will post schedule dates and rendered pictures as they come available.

Twenty Dollars

#1

I have been blessed with many things, the English language and everything that goes along with it was not one of them. That makes me dread blogging because unfortunately writing the English language is only way to do it. Having said that I am going to start blogging again. I had a breakthrough last night while watching a movie.

It was not a movie I intended to watch actually. The story is kind of funny and the mistake kind of expensive. Zack, I think, was playing with the remote and pushing all kinds of buttons, and whether he knew what he was doing is still unknown but while he was pushing all the buttons he ordered 4 “movie on demand” movies. Since we had never watched them, I thought we could reverse the charges but Dish has a policy of never reversing the charges because “it asks twice if you really want to rent the movie”. So at $4.99 each we were stuck with an extra $20 fee. Jason and I thought we would make the best of it so we decided to watch one of the two that were still available. The movie ended up being Julie and Julia.

I liked the movie but it was more than that, it hit a cord with me. I am that 30 year old that feels like something is missing. I want to do something that is hard for me and I decided writing is just that. I want to do a whole bunch of other things but I will start with writing.

I have a few rules

#1 The title has to be short ( I over think it ever time) it will be the first thing that comes to mind

#2 I am writing for myself, I will not worry about what others are thinking

#3 I need to write a post at least once a week--the hardest rule of them all.

#4 I have to do it at least 20 weeks
