Bountiful Utah

YOU KNOW YOUR IN BOUNTIFUL UTAH WHEN....

• You don't go to the temple on your schedule; you try to figure out when the least busy time might be in the day and then you go then.
• When you are going to the temple you have to sit in the parking lot like a vulture so you can find a parking place
• When you are sent to a locker in the changing room and there isn't an open slot (remember this is not suppose to be a "busy" time of the day). It takes 4 different stalls in the "open" section to find one open locker.
• When the session is so full that they bring in folding chairs (this is the middle of the day!) 
• When there are 4 rows of men in the session and the rest of the room is packed with women.
• When you get to sit by your husband during the session.
• When and 1 1/2 session takes over 2 hours
• When you sit down to do a session you don't see one person holding a temple name; everyone has brought their family names.
• When you have to wait to for your stall to open up because someone is in it when you finish.
• When you have to wait 20 mins after the session ends to get your family card because it takes so long to record them.
• When they divide up the male and female cards and you still can't get your card because the swarm of people is so thick
• When you leave the temple a car is following you through the parking lot because they want your parking spot.
• When you never go to the temple without running into people you know.  Also the temple president is a neighbor. 
• When the temple opens at 4:30 am for baptisms because there are so many kids waiting to do work.
• When you are at a one of your kids sporting events you are sitting behind President Erying.
• When every week in church you get to shake hands with Elder Chistopherson
• When you run into Sherri Dew at the grocery store
• When your kids friends are the grand children of the apostles.
• When your kids can go to the temple with their friends from school
• When your are at the temple to do baptisms you run into 10+ of your kids friends
• When you live less than 10 mins from 2 temples
• When you talk to your stake president and he says I will check with the first presidency when I go to work tomorrow
• When everywhere you go you can look east and see the temple 
• When Costco is like black friday every Saturday 
• When your run to the grocery store at 11:00pm on a Saturday night and you run into a dozen people from your ward.
• When you are driving down the road and you see Elder Uchdorf and his wife taking a little stroll. 

I know there are very few places in the world where you are surround by so many people that are trying to have the same values and goals that you have.
