last weekend we went to salt lake. we had so much fun. our uncle curt got married, so we made a fun trip out of it. justin and kate handy came with us. our plans were to go to the wedding saturday morning at 11, then head to the salt lake temple and do a session. we arrived at the church at 10.30 and called mom and dad knapp to see where they were. they were not anywhere near the church, because apparently the wedding time had been changed to 1.30 without us ever being told. so, we decided to go to the draper temple open house. we followed numerous signs, and took a few wrong turns (thanks to my superb map-reading skills and womanly sense of direction), but finally found the parking lot for the citizens that did not have tickets. when we arrived, we asked one of the volunteers how long it would take to get into the temple and get a tour. it turned out that it would take about 2 hours, which would not be enough time since we had to make it back for the wedding. we decided just to drive up to the temple (past all of the signs that said we could not drive there) and take some pictures. the temple was beautiful!
so, after those few disappointments, we decided to continue on with our fun plans of going to temple square and doing a session in the salt lake temple. our friend kate had never been to temple square or through the salt lake temple, so we were so excited to show it to her. sadly enough, disappointment struck again. the temple was closed for cleaning. sad day. we decided to instead get a tour of the conference center, which was so amazing. even though we have been in the conference center many times, and had recieved tours before, new things stuck out to us. it was so neat. cameron and i loved all of the paintings (which we found out were all original!)
