I Believe In Miracles

Bountiful Temple
About a month ago, I went to San Diego to present at a conference for work. The conference was supposed to end on Wednesday afternoon, but I was able to work it out to come home Tuesday night, since one of my really good friends, Colby Green, was getting married Wednesday morning. My flight was supposed to leave around 5:45, but the plane had mechanical problems (one of the engines was leaking oil). They flew a mechanic in from L.A. to look at it, then they had to fly a part over to fix it, and then the airport closed and wouldn't let us take off. So they sent us all off to a hotel for the night. In my prayers that night, I asked Heavenly Father to help me make it back in time for the temple sealing.

The next morning, I got up at 4am to catch the shuttle back to the airport and I got on the first flight back to Salt Lake. Traffic was really bad for Lacee as she was coming to pick me up, because there had been some pretty bad wrecks on the freeway. We left the airport and Lacee drove up to the Bountiful Temple as I changed into my suit in the car. We arrived just in time for the sealing! I know the Lord helped us make it there, and I was very grateful. It was a miracle!

Provo Temple
Then last Saturday, it was Lacee's turn!  She was on a trip in Mexico during her Spring Break building houses. She was coming back on Saturday, and Bridger was going to receive his endowment that evening. They were making good time until they reached Payson. A couch had flown off a trailer and crashed into a motorcycle with two people on it. The freeway was closed as they brought in a helicopter to life-flight them to the hospital. After almost two hours, traffic started moving again. The people Lacee was riding with were kind enough to drop her off in Provo on their way back to Lindon. I picked her up and after a hug and kiss, we rushed over to the Provo Temple, again making it just in time. I know the Lord helped us make it on time! It was another miracle! It was wonderful to be with Bridger during that special time. He'll make a wonderful missionary!

Graduate School
While we're talking about miracles, I also found out I was admitted to the graduate program I applied for at BYU! It's a dual-degree program focusing on product development, where you get a masters degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA (Masters of Business Administration) at the same time. So it's basically about inventing a product, and then building a business to market and sell it. So we're really excited about that! I found out I was admitted to mechanical engineering program a few months ago and was waiting to hear back from the business school. I had my interview a few weeks ago, and as I was leaving the interview, Dr. Sawaya told me that I could expect to be admitted, and he welcomed me to the program. Last week I got my official acceptance letter!  So we're really excited about that!
