Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House











This was such an awesome day! I rode to slc with Meg, Sammy, Carter, Wesley{yay-yay}, Brock and Jaxon! We had quite the load! The kids were so good the whole way there! They just watched movies and played!We left around 12:00 and it was a miracle that we got there without any hiccups! Meg and i talked about anything and everything we could think of, it was so much fun! We met Shayne there and waited in line for what seemed like forever but i think it was only about a 1/2 an hour. The ushers said that 1,500 people were going through those doors a day!!! Wow, that blew my mind!! It felt like all 1,500 were there when we were! It was so crowded! But as we started walking through, room after room, stair case after stair case you didn't notice everyone else! It was so peaceful to just be there with your family and friends!




All the artwork was amazing! The chandeliers were crazy huge! I mean what a pain it would be to have to clean those puppies! But the rooms were so beautifully painted and decorated! It was such a spiritual experience to be able to hold my two boys in my arms and walk through the celestial room! We stared through the mirrors into eternity and i never wanted to leave!!! Brock kept telling me that he could feel Jesus and was watching for him {meg told him that Jesus roams the halls}! Now he keeps asking when we can go back! He doesn't get that mommy and daddy can go anytime they want but he has to wait til he's 19. Not fair. I am so grateful that Meg brought me along with her and her awesome family!! we love you guys!
