Rexburg Temple Trip






We had a great time going to Rexburg to see the temple open house. It is an absolutely beautiful building! When we drove in on Friday night the temple looked amazing all lit up on the hill, but by Saturday morning the fog had rolled in: the temple was not visible at all as we drove up to it. When we finished the tour, we still wanted a few pictures and the temple was just barely visible in the background. I loved having Andrew with us in the temple. He did a great job going through the tour. It was wonderful to be able to look at our little family in the mirrors in the sealing room. I loved the stained glass, the endowment room walls, and the chandeliers. Isaac's family drove up with us and it was nice to be able to be with his family on this quick trip to Rexburg. After the open house, we drove around Rexburg and I gave them a quick tour of my childhood town. Toby, Tammy, Tim, Kayla, Maezlie, Tara, Greg and the kids all had tickets to the open house as well. It was so fun to be able to spend some time with my family and just be able to relax. It stayed foggy the whole time we were in Rexburg so I didn't get any great pictures of the temple.

It sure was a lot of fun to be together! So glad we got to hang out with you guys. Too bad we don't live closer.

What a fun time. We were sad we did not get to see everyone though. If it makes you feel any better. The whole time we were in Rexburg it was extremely windy and cold so we don't have a lot pictures of the temple. That is what summer will be for.
