I love to see the Temple...

We finally went to the temple open house yesterday, which was totally awesome... I am so excited to have a temple just down the street, well kind of anyway. I remember being so sad when we moved because they had just announced that there would be a Temple in Rexburg, and now through a strange turn of events, we're back just in time for the dedication! It may be freezing out, but seeing this glorious building really warms my soul. Even Jonas didn't even make a peep in the celestial room! Not to mention he was very entertained by the mirrors in the sealing room. for him, I guess there is nothing like seeing yourself go on for eternity.

WOw, where is it at? It's beautiful!!! Where do you guys live? I've heard it's grown a lot since I was there. Allan's parents are taking the family on a ski trip in March to Grand Targhee, and I told Allan how much I would love to go to Rexburg and see my old town. But I didn't think I had anyone there to visit! I don't know if will be able to, but it would be so fun to visit you guys! That is so funny about "New Fongs." Is it as yummy as the old one? And make sure to get some delicious pizza at Craigo's, just for me!

The temple is so pretty and I'm so happy you guys got the chance to go. I'm dying to come up there so I can do a session. That is so cool that you guys took Jonas, and I love that he was so quiet in the Celestial room. Guess that veil is still kind of thin and remembers, right? ;) I'm sad I won't make it for the birthday, but maybe Mom and I will be able to detour to Rexburg on my way home. Make a snow angel for me!
