Snow and Napoleon Dynamite

It snowed yesterday and today. Despite the lack of warmth this summer, we instinctively turned on some Bing Crosby and watched the half-dollar sized cotton balls drop from the sky for at least 20 minutes. It was magical. The snowflakes eventually calmed down but, it was great. Tonight we carved pumpkins with the Allred Family as the snow began to stick to the roads. It begins. I am happy that warmer climes await us in the coming weeks! Aloha Oie!!

President Monson announced the building of the Rome Italy Temple on Saturday during General Conference! I was emotional for a while. Susanna and Lucy kept looking back at me. I told them I was happy but, pulled some good Napoleon "yes"es to seal the deal. I have not pictured myself returning to Italy since I had Susanna. Well, it's callin' to me now! I am happy for my brothers and sisters in Italy, to have a temple in their country. It will be a blessing to Italy. It is awesome. I am looking forward to seeing it!
