An eventful Saturday!

Yesterday Darin and I decided that we really needed to get to the Temple with all that is going on in our lives. There has been a lot to get done around our house that we really have fallen behind on doing, particularly the fruit from the fruit trees (due to the winter and late frost) we didn't really have all the much compared to last year, but there were peaches and pears, just not much of anything else, luckily some of the neighbors have offered to use the fruit which we are very grateful for! Back to our experience, anyways we decided to clean up somewhat around the house and by the time we got off to the Temple it was about 6pm, we had a lovely time doing inititories then on our way home drove to Sam's Club to get our grocery shopping done, by the time we got home and had dinner it was close to when I had to leave for work about 9pm. Out of no where we heard all these sirens that sounded close to our house, so I stepped outside and saw all these emergency viechles and police cars at our neighbors house, I had to go to work so I left Darin to go find out what happened, as it turned out our neighbor while getting fimilair with his gun (it is hunting season here in Utah) accidentally shot his leg while trying to load it. What made this experience so special was that Darin was still in his Sunday clothes and was prepared to help go with this neighbor to the hospital and help give him a blessing. The neighbor is alright and this can be chalked up to one of those learning experiences, luckily for him the police were willing to confiscate the gun until he can learn proper gun safety.
