Once in a Lifetime


We just had an awesome weekend in Rexburg. We spent parts of Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the temple cleaning and putting together chandeliers. Our family got a sealing room to ourselves and we were able to assemble three wall sconces and a large chandelier. I never realized all the work that went into putting those things together. The chandelier had 1800 individual pieces of crystal and it took us about 5 hours to assemble. The wall sconces were smaller but still took about two hours each to assemble. They are so beautiful! It was so wonderful to be there with our whole Wolford family. Even though the building hasn't been dedicated, you could still feel a strong spirit there. The temple is beautiful and I am so grateful that Andrew was able to be such a big part of its construction.

We also had a fun time seeing friends and celebrating Mom W's birthday. The weekend went by too fast and now it's back to cleaning, cooking and laundry. The comforting thing is that Thanksgiving is only a week and a half away!
