Our next attempt of going to the temple was for our anniversary date. We had some friends watching Sam for us, so it should have been easy. We had to pick up some things down in Seattle from another Great Harvest, so we thought we'd do that and go to the temple. But what we didn't realize was that the temple and the bakery actually aren't very close, and getting through traffic was getting bad, so we didn't end up going.
We decided to try again this week. Again we had someone to watch Sam, and we both had the afternoon off. Nothing was going to get in our way this time; we were determined. We got all dressed, printed maps to get to the temple, printed Chris' lesson for Sunday so I could read it to him while we drove, woke Sam up early from his nap, and headed for the car. I happened to pull out my recommend and noticed that it had expired a month and a half ago. So basically if we had even tried going for our anniversary date, we wouldn't have gotten in. Luckily we found out before the 45 minute drive down to the temple. Grrrr... We'll get our recommends renewed and try again as soon as we can!

I feel your pain! Daniel and I haven't yet made the same concerted efforts that you have, but we still struggle with this. We have had plenty of people offer to babysit and we just need to buckle down and go!

Yeah, we haven't made it to the Atlanta temple yet. Well, we made it to John's wedding but that's it.
