President Hinckley's Viewing

Last night Mom, Kellie and I rode trax to the Delta Center to meet grammy. Before we went to Temple Square we went to a little candy shop cause mom had a 50$ gift certificate. Mom got some cherrys that were covered in some stuff, a pound and a half of fudge ( when you bought a pound you got half of one for free), some honey rosted almonds and some honey. Grammy got a half a pound of fudge for grandpa and some carmel turtles. We about ate ourselves sick by the time we found a parking spot! When we finally got to the conference center 2 lines were wrapped clear around it. By the time we found the end of the line it was 5:30. It took us about an hour just to get around the first corner then we stood in line for another hour before we got inside. It was freezing outside and all of us were wearing skirts. Mom was wearing her high heeled shoes and they were killing her feet. There were some kids playing over by the building on a big vent thing, and they quietly said that they could feel some heat coming up, instantly 40 people were over there. It really wasnt that warm but it felt good to pretend that I wasn't freezing to death. When we got inside and went through security they seated us and told us it would be at least two hours. I curled up on the ground in between the rows of seats( I had a long skirt on!) and fell asleep. In about an hour and a half we got in line again. That line went somewhat quick so we finally got through the line at about 9:45. It was a long night but I am glad that I went to it. I just feel bad that I never saw him while he was alive. It was worth the wait!
