One of the benefits of Roy's work schedule is that he gets the middle of the week off every few weeks. Of course, the trade-off is that he works 2 weekends in 5, but we're trying to stay positive here. We decided to take advantage of his 3-day holiday last week and go to the LDS temple in Columbia, South Carolina (for more information about temples, click on the short video clip links below). Roy and I both enjoyed attending the temple and getting some one-on-one time with Abby as the other one was inside. It was nice to gain a little perspective about life and get refocused on what really matters. It was also a definite reminder about the importance of our role as parents. Columbia also happens to be my grandma's hometown so it was really fun to see where she grew up and gave me a nice excuse to call and get some ideas on where to go and what to see. It was definitely a long car trip, but well worth it. The best part of all was when Abby, who explored the gardens outside the temple for a grand total of 15 minutes told us that she loved the temple, but that she wanted "no more car". With Sam's arrival in the next 3-4 weeks, we should easily be able to grant her request of no more long trips in the car.
