beauty

Its funny how we lived literally 2 miles down the street from the Provo temple and we never really took the kids to walk around the grounds. We drove by it on a daily basis practically.  We ran around the temple every morning when the weather was warmer/permitted  and sometimes we would stop and see missionaries and we always pointed out the importance of the temple as we jogged by.  We always made it a point to spot Angel Moroni and how beautiful the temple is, especially when we were up early enough and the sun would be peaking out at the perfect time from Y mountain it was such a stunning sight to see. We also made it point to smile and cheer when we made it to the top of our temple run. 
I miss that, especially right now when all the flowers and trees are in bloom and the excitement and buzz of summer Provo begins. 
 
 We now live a exactly 20 minutes from the St. George temple and we have already driven by, walked around and played at the park several times up the street pretty much every week we have been here.  Its funny how we don't think twice of getting in the car for FHE driving the 20 minutes just to go and soaking the beauty of the Temple grounds for our activity.  It seems that the St.George Temple is in the middle of everything we do in St. George. I like it. Its a neat Temple that has great meaning. It looks amazing against the red cliffs of Dixie.  I love that everywhere we go in St.George Chamberlain is always pointing out the temple.
