The Temple...FINALE

Christmas 2012 came and went without too much fanfare.  I just couldn't get in to the spirit of it this year.  My whole being was focused on the Temple.

December 26th, there was a MASSIVE snow storm.  We had more snow that day than we'd had all year.  I knew that the next day was going to be hard, but I was determined.  I wasn't going to let ANYTHING get in my way.  

December 27th came with snow.  My parents picked me up at 7:00 a.m., and we were off.  The roads were horrible and I just knew that my brothers and sisters were going to struggle to get there.  I did NOT however doubt that they would get there.  My eye was on the Temple.  

I was apprehensive.  I didn't really know what to expect.  I believed that I was ready.  I had faith that I was doing the right thing, but I was apprehensive. 

We got to the temple and I was shaking like a leaf.  My Dad dropped us off at the front and then went to park in the covered parking.  I walked up to the front doors with my Mom and stopped.  I looked up and read these words...

Brigham City Temple...Holiness to the Lord, The House of the Lord

In that moment, I was calm.  I took a deep breath and entered the Temple. It was the single greatest day of my life.  And I assure you that I'm not exaggerating or overstating.

I didn't want a big fuss with photos, but my friend Lara made me pose for this one.  And I'm thankful...

Jen, ME, my Mom, and my Dad

  It was the BEST day.
