The Temple Trip That Wasn't


We tried to get to the temple this weekend. The EQ had planned an EQ temple trip with child care included! Allen and I were going to be the child-care providers while others revelled in the spirit of the temple. However, not many fish were biting. Only one couple planned to go. We were excited to hear that this would be a visit to the temple after four long years of not attending. Saturday morning we got up and quickly packed and set off....then the phone rang. They changed their mind.

Argh.

So we drove around in a circle for a bit and then said, "What are we thinking?! Let's just go ourselves!"

We were off again.

We didn't have our temple clothes though so we'd have to rent.
Oh wait. No cash....better stop at a bank machine.

The Royal Bank bank machine in Cardston was out of order.

So was the next bank we stopped at.

So was the next bank.

Are we meant to go to the temple today?
Oh wait!! We found one.

So off we went with our $20 in hand.....only to find out my recommend expired in June.

ARGH!!!

It sure is nice to spend time in the car with your spouse though. (Right?!)

But just think --- what a nice day you had with Allen enjoying each other's company. Where were your kids while all this was happening.

We found the same thing in Cardston --- we went to a ATM to get money and found their banks in Cardston do not accept other banks cards either.

Augh to the Banks in Cardston.
