I am visiting my home town of Calgary, Alberta for a few days. The official reason for the visit is for me to attend my brother's graduation this week. In the meantime, I've been keeping busy spending time with family and visiting friends. Here are a few of the highlights:
We (my mom, grandma, and I) visited my "Oma" the other day. That's a picture of her waving to us from her balcony. She has known our family for years, so even though she's not technically a blood relation, she'e still a member of the family.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the Calgary, Alberta temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was held on May 15, 2010. Though we didn't get to go to the temple grounds on the day of the ceremony (parking was limited), my parent's ward had a Ward Family Home Evening on the future temple site this evening. Our Bishop borrowed one of the official groundbreaking shovels, and so our family headed up to the temple grounds and a got a picture. There is actually a small picture of the temple engraved onto the shovel.
My grandma and I were excited to see that since my arrival a few days ago, two of the flower bushes in her backyard started to bloom! We got a picture in front of the bushes.
That's it for now. Unfortunately, Garrett was not able to come to Canada with me this time. He's in charge of the garden in Arizona, and has done a lot of work setting up a drip system for it. I can hardly wait to see it when I get back!
