Our Scavenger Hunt
Today I worked. Work is going so well. I fell authentic and happy. I am really enjoying the opportunities coming our way. I am so happy and feel more connected to Jonny than I have in a long time. After work, I wanted to go do something with the kids. We created a scavenger hunt of things to look for when we went to go look at the Draper temple grounds. Moroni, check, House of the Lord, check.
