We Finally Have a Temple!

So this may sound weird to some of you but I am so happy to say we FINALLY have the Temple reserved. It really has been such a pain and after finally getting it done I don't understand why.

So here's the story... About a week or so after we got engaged, Colton came over so we could call the Temple together. After being on hold for probably 10 minutes, Colton finally got through to this lady. He told her we wanted to reserve a room for a marriage and sealing. She asked him what time and for our membership numbers (which we did not have with us). Then she asked him if we were endowed and when he said no she then asked if we had current temple recommends. When he said no again she proceeded to tell him that we couldn't reserve anything until we had current temple recommends. He just said ok and then hung up and told me what she said. I was angry because that made absolutely no sense and I tend to overreact. After talking to others though we decided that the lady was crazy because nobody had ever heard that before.

So I decided to call again a couple of weeks later. But this time when I called I got a message saying that the temple was closed for two weeks for cleaning/maintenance work whatever. At this point I was getting really frustrated. I decided this was a sign and it could mean one of two things. Either God was telling us that we are awful people and he doesn't want us in the Temple or Satan was trying to discourage us and doesn't want us to go to the Temple because he is Satan and doesn't want us to be happy. I was hoping it was the second option but if things went screwy a third time I was going with the first option.

Luckily though the third time is a charm and this time things went smooth as can be, confirming that the first lady we talked to was indeed crazy. So we are officially getting married at 9:00 am at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple :) Yay!
