My fav

After reading over almost all of the conference talks this week I think this one was my favorite, By Richard G. Scott.
 I had so much fun going to the 2nd session Saturday with my niece Mary! I love her and miss her too much!

And if you have not seen this or heard this song...you should...it's a feel good song.

Locked in....or locked out?

Today Savana was helping me do laundry and the bathroom is just across the hall from the washer. She decided to go in the bathroom and shut herself in. She likes to open and close doors so this was nothing new. She also likes to open and close drawers. Well when she opened the drawer right by the door it jammed the door shut so I could not open it besides a tiny crack. She would not close the drawer so I could get in. It took Geoff about 10 minutes and  about 3 different utensils...a kitchen knife finally worked to poke the side of the drawer to gently slide it a smidgen bit at a time so the door would open. And she was rescued and I was relieved.

Go Cougars!

 Last week we went to the BYU San Diego State game. BYU won and we were pretty excited since they just lost 4 games in a row. We will see how they do today against TCU.

My temples

When we traveled growing up I always wanted to know if there was a temple in the town we were visiting. That way I could watch for it and hopefully be the first to spot it! One of my favorite memories was traveling to the Cardston Alberta temple, we got there and it was dark and I still remember the amazing feeling as I saw the temple all lit up at night. We were on a family trip and got there late and my parents went to a session first thing in the morning and my brothers and sisters and I ate little boxes of cereal in the hotel while we waited for them.

Here are a few pictures of the temples I have been to or been in.

Cardston was my temple growing up.

The Provo temple is my temple now!

Salt Lake is where we were married.

Teaching honesty

For those of you who don't know I work for the most amazing company in the world. Epic Dental truly rocks. We sell dental products and we are a pretty small company, but my coworkers and boss are all going straight to heaven for their awesomeness!
Anyway, I talk to doctors and dentists a lot and I got an uplifting call today from a man in Idaho. It went like this:
Man: I would like to buy some gum for my dentist.
Holly: Ok, have you ordered with us before?
Man: No, my dentist buys this gum and I need to buy some for him it is a 1000 piece bag I think....
Holly: (You are seriously buying $70 worth of gum for your dentist....ok crazy!???) K, lets get an account set up for ya...
Man: This may seem like a strange situation to you. But I was at the dentist today and my 9 year old son was waiting for me in the waiting room while I had some work done. On the way out I noticed all of his pockets were full of gum! He emptied their gum machine into his pockets. His mom and I discussed and decided that he needed to buy a bag and take it in to the dentist and say he is sorry. I asked the lady in the office where they get their gum and they said from you. So I need it shipped to me so we can take it to them personally.
Holly: (HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm gunna die, that's great!!!!) Well, I'll do the order on their account so you can have their price but send it to your house.
I gave him a pretty good discount so the kid might have it paid off before he goes to college :) My heart wanted to send it for free for him being such an awesome parent.

I really wanted to ask if he was LDS, I kind of assume so since he is from Idaho, working in Utah and making his kid be honest like that. It reminds me of the little lessons that I teach my primary kids at church. I love to see parents teaching their kids little life lessons, its so uplifting and made my day!
Props to all the good parents who teach their kids so well.

Cool Pic

So there was a pretty bad fire here in UT, and this pic of it I thought was pretty amazing. So I thought I would share.
