Meet the man!


Hello everyone. My name is April. My sweet Dad is in the hospital getting his 50,000 mile tune up. A.K.A. hip replaced. So I thought I'd take the time to let you all know how special the man is that has dedicated numerous hours to this unique blog.

My Dad really is the best! He has raised all 5 of his children being the perfect example. He has always had a rock solid testimony that the gospel is true. I'm so grateful for this.
If any of you have been lucky enough to have received one of his amazing pens then you know first hand how talented he is. I will forever love the smell of wood stain. It takes me back to when he would stay up late making us girls wooden cradles for our dolls for Christmas.
He is the MOST generous person I know. He is so enjoyable to be around. He has an amazing memory and can keep your attention for hours with his stories of yonder years.
He has always been the man behind the video or the camera. And now behind the computer. He loves living near the temple in this beautiful valley and is so happy with the way this blog has blossomed.


Thank you all for visiting and supporting this Draper Temple blog and for being such wonderful neighbors and friends to my dear sweet dad.


Feel free to leave a comment below.

Thank you very much for this great blog. The pictures have only emphasized the anticipation of this great temple. Your a great photographer and now I want one of your special pens. If you sell them be sure to tell us where to get them.

Dear April. Thank you for letting us know about what is going on with your father. I check his blog almost every day and love the pictures that he has taken. I live in his ward and I know that he is a kind man. He gave us one of his beautiful pens. Your mom is also a special lady. I hope that he makes a quick recovery. Please tell him that our thoughts and prayers are with him.

We're also glad that we came across this blog. We can't attend the dedication (it's happening as we type) because we're too young (well, I'm the mom of too young kids) but we wanted to participate somehow, and this blog has given us some beautiful insights. Thanks again! Hope the new hip is working well!
