So anyways the purpose of this blog was because last night Jeremy and I decided that today would be temple day, but then I remembered that our temple (which is the Ogden Temple) is closed for a couple of weeks. We dont go to the temple as often as we should and sure enough the one time we have time to go its not open. The great thing about living in Utah though, is that they have like 13 temples in the state alone. There are 4 within 2 hours of our house. So it ended up being a perfect opportunity to go through one of the most important temples in the churches history.
When we first moved to Utah I told Jeremy that I was going to make a goal to go through all the temples in Utah. So these are the ones that we have made it to so far. The good news is they are getting 2 more in Utah, but bad news for me cause that is 2 more I have to add to my list to accomplish this goal.
This is the Ogden temple! Coming from California and always going to the Oakland Temple that looked like a castle made this one hard for me to like. This sounds really bad I know, but its just a circle. After being inside I love this temple. It is so pretty! I take back anything that I have ever said.
The Logan Temple! So I am going to say that this one is super pretty too, but I think they all are. Temples truly are houses of the Lord!
Mount Timpanogos, I actually only went to a sealing here. I am going to say that sealings count though, so I can cross this one off the list. I am so thankful for the opportunities that we have out here. I get really home sick for California sometimes, but everywhere we go in Utah I am constanly reminded of who I am and what I am here for. Its so easy to get caught up in the fast pace of the world, but here I can see where I need to be and what I need to be.

Hey Kim,
I got to your blog through Amanda's. I hope that's ok. Anyways, I love the pictures of the temples. Chad and I went to the Salt Lake Temple when we were sealed and it was wonderful. But I agree they are all beautiful. I have lived in Utah all my life and have only been to about 4 or 5 of the Utah Temples, so you are doing good.
The temples are so beautiful. When Lily gets a little older we will have to get together and go.
I have never been through the Salt Lake Temple. I would like to go soon. That is neat you have that goal. I hope everything is going well. Jayken is sick again, But maybe we can go visit teach next week sometime or when you have a day off or a short day.
Hey guys! I loved the St George & the Manti...Check those out. Hope your doing well!
