My mom sent an email to my sister and me early this morning asking if we would be interested in trading babysitting for taking some names to the temple for her.
My husband has been out of town for the last week, so this was my reaction:
I nearly left before Anna left for school, but managed to get her situated before racing down to Gramma's.
As I was walking into the temple, I reminded myself again that I am now 30 (I have to do this periodically) and should probably start dressing like it. Then I ran into the mom of an old high school friend, and suddenly I was 17 again. But with 3 kids I have to admit that it was in fact an unbelievable 12 years ago that I started college.
Also while at the temple I kept thinking about the stampede that happened yesterday during the Hajj near Mecca. Over 700 people were killed and over 800 injured by their fellow worshipers. Astonishing and heartbreaking. They aren't sure how or why it happened, but apparently deadly stampedes are common enough during the Hajj that "safety precautions" have been taken.
