4 June -- Jeanne's Visit

Jeanne surprised me with a visit. She hitched a ride with her Relief Society President who was making a quick trip to Salt Lake for the weekend. I picked her up at Devany's place in Salt Lake and brought her back to Logan, stopping in Layton on the way for dinner at Cracker Barrel.

I had borrowed an air mattress for her to sleep on from one of the missionaries at the Center.  Sunday morning we drove around Logan a little before church. Took her by the temple and the tabernacle. Sunday evening we were all invited to have dinner with Elder and Sister Eubanks. They are the other half of our AJS missionary team. Jeanne said she had a new perspective on listening to football games after hearing Elder Eubanks share his experience.

Monday we went into the center for the opening exercises. I wanted her to meet Becky and Paul and few of the other missionaries who work there. I gave her a tour of behind the scenes at DI. We then went shopping.

Deseret Book is across the street from the Center. We found several items for her to take back to North Platte. I bought a couple more books to send home for Micah's birthday. We also stopped at Smith's Marketplace and to look for Lego Mini-figures. They had 3 boxes of the latest set. We bought a stash for the kids and us. We ate lunch at Café Rio, an excellent Mexican restaurant, and then went on a tour of the tabernacle. It was a busy, fun day.

Jeanne is now on her way to North Platte and I'm getting ready to go back to work.  We got up at 4:30am so we could be on the road by 5am.  It was 5:20am before we left.  You know me, it takes me 20 minutes to get out the door.  We met Michelle at Kneaders in Midvale at 7am for breakfast before they took off.  It was fun having her here.  I get to show Carolyn around when she comes.
