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