Mesa Temple Lights

On Monday we went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights with Kurt and Liz and the fam for family home evening. Scott was home from California for a change. It was so fun, to finally feel like its Christmas time. Its just the same as Temple Square in Salt Lake City. No snow, no need for hot chocolate, no need for a coat for that matter, and definitely not as many lights! Its still beautiful, and the spirit is there just the same.

Scott tricked the kids into taking a picture by the BYU tree.

Melissa said...: I LOVE going to see the Christmas lights without freezing my butt off! Much better than freezing and fighting the crowds in Utah if you ask me. Especially with little kids! We need to get together soon. You should come over sunday.; December 12, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Heidi said...: That picture displayed at top of the two of you, is honestly so sweet. I miss you two so much and I really am excited to see you on Saturday for the party and then for Christmas. I don't like you being so far away, that was for Zoe.; December 19, 2008 at 1:51 AM

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
