The Manhattan Temple

In what was the best surprise ever, Erin was able to get away from BYU and surprise Brett by coming home. We told all the kids that Glen had to pick-up a man named Sandeep Gupta from India who was coming to do work for GE. Brett was working at Price Chopper that night so we just took Jared and Lauren to the airport. You should have seen their faces. It was great. We then went to Price Chopper. Glen had gone in to find out where Brett was and came out and told Erin. We all went in. Erin and Brett almost ran into each other. Brett was so surprised all he could say was Uggh. Then he turned bright red. It was fun. Monday morning, April 14th we left and went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. We took a tour of the campus and then had lunch in the Apple Pie Bakery there. It was fantastic! We had some of the best french fries we've ever had. We then drove to Newark to the Fairfield Inn and spent the night. Tuesday morning, April 15th we drove into the city and found parking quite close to the temple. Jared and Lauren went to Barnes & Nobel to wait while Brett, Erin, Glen, and I went to the temple. It was wonderful! After the temple we went to Rockefeller Center and Times Square. We had a blast! Then it was the long drive home. We arrived at 12:30 a.m.

what an awesome surprise!! I am so glad that Erin was able to get out there to see Brett before he leaves. I wish I could have been there to see the looks on all the kids faces, especially while they were waiting for "Sandeep Gupta"! ha ha.
