Oh the places you’ll go…

Lisa and I recently booked our tickets to Wyoming for the week of Thanksgiving. We hadn’t expected this trip — we had thought we would be hosting holiday festivities — but I’m very happy that we’ll be in the Cowboy State again so soon. Then, a month later, we’ll be in Oregon for Christmas.

It seems like we’ve been traveling a lot this year. If you’d asked me after our western adventure last year, I wouldn’t have expected any of this (except maybe Christmas and the cruise in February). Here’s what we’ve done this year so far.

    Wow. . . I didn’t realize you guys decided to get sealed in the Temple after all.

  2. Jeff Mather says:

    Two funny things there:

    (1) They wouldn’t let me inside the Temple unless I promised to marry someone.

    (2) Lisa wasn’t with me on the trip, so I had to marry Cynthia. She was already married to Ken, but no one seemed to have a problem with the “spiritual marriage.”

  3. Leslie M-B says:

    “Jeff Mather, polygamist” has a disturbingly nice ring to it.
