Carson and Ryan's Temple

 I spent the night at Kenneth and Jenni's home.  Travis, Holly and Derek came by for my on Saturday morning, August 15, 2015 to go with them to Logan for  Carson and Ryan's wedding.
           This is the vacant lot across the street form Kenneth and Jenni's.  A great place for a home.
                                        Brigham City Temple on the way to Logan.
                                It was a beautiful drive from Provo to Logan, Utah.
                                               The first view of the Logan Temple.
                                               This is a beautiful pioneer temple.

                    I wish them much happiness as they begin their own eternal family.

                                                   Carson is a beautiful bride.
   I am happy that I was able to enter the temple with them to witness their beautiful wedding. 
 
                                                  The happy married couple.
                                                      The opportunity for a kiss.

                                              Time for another kiss.
 I left early with Melissa and her girls.  They dropped me off at the Salt Lake Airport where I hoped to make the night flight back to Arizona.  I was bumped from my flight and stranded in Salt Lake.
Ray's friend, Kimberly invited me to come to her home and sleep on the couch for the night.  How grateful I am that she picked me up at the airport and took me back to the airport early the next morning. 
                       Kimberly has this beautiful painting of Christ in her living room.
