Tuesday, Feb. 17th, we had tickets with Alan's parents to go to the Draper Temple open house. Pat got tickets for the 4:40 tour which meant we had to be organized to pull it off. Leslie was great and started getting all of the kids ready before I got home from work. I came home and finished helping and then when Alan got home we all pilled in the van. We drove to a church where we watched a brief video about the Draper Temple and the city it's in. Then we boarded a bus that took us to the temple. We had had a family home evening the night before about temples and why we have them and how we act in them. The girls were so excited to finally be going. When we got off of the bus we walked through a tunnel to the temple. I was a little worried about how the kids would act but they were amazing! They loved being in the temple. Reagan loved to point out all of the pictures of Jesus. Kairi found pleasure in all of the small details. Camden just wanted to pull me along. He didn't want to stop and wait his turn. Tahlia was just content to be carried. The temple is beautiful! It always amazes me. The detail that is put into every aspect takes my breath away. Our final stop was a sealing room. We were able to sit and listen as a couple spoke to us and gave short testimonies. We talked to our kids about being married in the temple and they thought that it was a beautiful room. They loved looking in the mirror... Reagan was amazed that she couldn't see then end. What great promises and blessings the temple offers us. I can't imagine not being with my husband and kids forever. We can wait for the Oquirrh Hills Temple open house this summer!
