This is one of those wide open topics. For instance, one could argue that my favorite place is in our computer room in front of the computer, and that would be correct. I certainly spend a lot of time there!

As far as destinations go, Yellowstone National Park is certainly a favorite. We’re less than four hours from the center of the park and we go over there a couple of times a year. Our trip this past September was particularly fun and relaxing.

We’ve had the good fortune to have traveled pretty far and wide throughout the world, but haven’t been outside of North America since 2007 when we were on a cruise in Scandinavia. I have a number of favorite places that we’ve visited overseas and many, many more that I’d like to visit.

For the past several months Nina and I have been working each Friday morning at the Idaho Falls Temple. We get up at 3 a.m., leave the house at 3:45 a.m., and arrive at the Temple about 4:45 to begin our shift at 5 a.m. We’re usually finished around 11 to 11:30 a.m. We both thoroughly enjoy or service at the Temple and definitely arrange our lives around Friday morning so that we can always be there for our assignment.

We generally don’t talk a lot about what goes on inside the Temple, not that it’s particularly secret, but that the ordinances performed there are sacred and only become meaningful to members of the Church who have put themselves in a position to be qualified to be in the Temple. What I will say, however, is that the time we spend there on Friday mornings is some of the most satisfying  and rewarding time of the week.

My favorite place to be right now, above all others, is at the Idaho Falls Temple on a Friday morning.

Ta ta for now!
