Temple Trip!

Well this is a late post, but i thought about it and i wanted to talk about it! About 4 weeks ago me and my two best friends, Rachel Leckington and Tressa Burrup went on a vacation. Before we graduated high school we decided that we wanted to go on a Temple Trip so we planned it, took the dates off work and just were so excited, to go on a 3 day trip and feel the spirit the whole time! Well when the dates finally came we realized that almost half of the temples were closed for maintenance of construction of some sort! We didn't let this stop us however, we decided that we would still go and we would still just have the time of our lives!

So the first day started and we went to the Ogden temple, and Salt Lake Temple and did baptisms for the dead, it was so amazing and it was cool to see the difference in how each temple did baptisms. The bountiful temple was closed but we stopped there and had a picnic out front! It was so peaceful, because no one was there and the temple was so WHITE! After we got done doing baptisms at the Salt Lake Temple we went straight to Cedar City! My dad got us a hotel room and we just had a girls night dying hair and just staying up all night talking! The next morning we went to the school (SUU) and did some of the registration stuff that me and Rachel needed to get done before we moved down to school, after we got done in Cedar we went to Provo and stayed the night with my aunt Brenda and Uncle Jim it was so much fun to just hang out at their house and be with them! The best part of staying at their house was that Kiersten was there and i didn't even know that she was going to be, it was fun to get to know them better and just hang out! My aunt Brenda spoiled us and ordered us pizza and then the next morning she made us pancakes, they were whole wheat and they were delicious! I truly love Kiersten and Brenda and thank them so much for opening their house and just letting me and my girls have the time of our lives!

The morning after we left Aunt Brenda's we went to the Mount Timp. Temple, it was the most amazing expierience of my life! I didn't realize how beautiful this temple really was, i mean all temples are beautiful but this one had a special place in my heart! I always thought i would get married in the Salt Lake Temple, but i don't know anymore, i love this temple and it just felt so right and so peaceful!

This trip was so amazing and helped me realize a lot about myself, i am glad that i took the time out to do this trip, and i hope that i will be able to go on another one next summer, but when all the temples are open! I will post some pictures on the side so that you can see some of the beauty because i have not yet learned how to post them under my new post! Well bye for now! I will for sure write more later!
