The Long Way Home

Taking the long way home is not always a bad thing. Kalli and I managed to turn the hour and a half trip from school to home into an eight hour adventure. The journey started at 6 am with the Logan temple. Man, this temple has been a huge blessing this school year.

Next we went to the Brigham city temple. I had never been there before but it was absolutely beautiful!

 

Number three was the Bountiful temple. OH MY GOSH. This temple took my breath away....literally. ;) (if you don't get it don't worry about it)

 

 

By ten o'clock we were at the Salt Lake City temple and ready to do some more baptisms. Kalli had never been inside this beautiful castle so it couldn't be passed up.

 

  

Jordan River was number 5. It was stunning. This temple was by far the least crowded. It made me a little sad to see how little work was being done on that Saturday afternoon. This is the temple I used to go to once a week in High School.

 

 

 

After a ten minute drive, Kalli and I found ourselves at the Oquirrh Mountain temple. This was a first time for both of us and we were very impressed. The Oquirrh Mountain temple was dedicated in 2009. As soon as you walk inside you can tell how new and special it is.

 

 

Last but not least, was the Draper temple. By temple number 7 Kalli and I were pro's at getting ready at the exact same time. We couldn't help but laugh when we walked in and out of the dressing rooms at the exact same time.

 

 

I loved taking the long way home. 8 hours. 7 temples. 70 baptisms. Each temple is special in it's own way yet the spirit is the same in every one. I'm grateful for temples and the peace they give me.
