Cleveland Brief

We just returned from Cleveland yesterday. The weather was deceiving; cool and sunny without a cloud in sight. However I am glad because I was afraid Lacy would burst in to tears if it were cold and gray (which it will be most of the year). The weather was perfect as we searched for a place to live. We will get some pics of the house as it becomes more "official" that we will be living there. My favorite part of the home is the fact that it has a yard I can take care of. We found it early in our trip and had some more time on our hands so we decided to drive to Kirtland and see the temple. The tour was well done, but without any effort to bring a converting spirit. I guess they do not use the Kirtland Temple as a converting tool. Maybe it was the tour guide, but there was no talk of sacrifice. Needless to say, the spirit was felt, but not due to the way in which they present the history or purposes of the temple. From where we will be living, Kirtland is just a quick 20 min. drive away. The trip was scenic and Kirtland was green as. The rest of the trip was spent simply exploring the area and getting excited to move. "Gator" took his first commercial airplane trip. He is a true airman. His PaPa will be so proud, and his dad is happy as too. Stetson slept most the time on the flight and did not fuss. When he's awake, he laughs and eats. He is heaps of fun and chubby as.
