The next morning we said goodbye to aunt LaDawn, or "Aunt Donald" as Cora called her.
We got to go meet up with our friend Aubry, who we hadn't seen since we moved from Miami. We went up to Temple Square and saw the pretty flowers. Cora was in heaven.
We walked across the street to City Creek center for lunch, and while we were eating we saw a man standing with a group of women taking a picture. We said "Wow, that man looks like President Uchtdorf from behind!" Then he turned around and we realized it WAS president Uchtdorf. Now, our family feels like we have a connection with him (doesn't everyone?). He helped my aunt Jill when she was really sick, and my parents currently had his quote "Fourth floor, last door" for their mission motto. So when I saw him I ripped Cora out of her high chair and tore out after him. Leaving Aubry with our stuff in the restaurant. (Sorry Aubry!) He was walking away but I was determined. With my 29 week belly chasing him, I called out and asked him if I could take a picture. He was nice enough to oblige.
I knew I had about 10 seconds, so I told him about my parents and their mission quote. He patted my cheek and said that it was nice to meet me. Then he left. I was totally in shock that I had seen someone who I look up to so much. And he was so nice! Even though I probably seemed like a crazy person. When I told Brandon about it he was so embarrassed that I chased an apostle down. But I knew if I didn't I would have regretted it!
We had so much fun with Aubry!
After that it was time to leave grandma Murphy's house and go to the Myres' house. Cora did not cooperate for pictures. Oh well... we can try again later right?
Made it to the Myres! She took all their toys off their stair landing and brought them to her bed.
