I LoVe To SeE tHe TeMpLe....

Last Monday, Matt took the day off for me. He did this to make up for not spending the day with me on my Birthday, since he was away skiing all weekend in Park City. I have been wanting to go and see the new Draper Temple. I figured if I didn't go today with him, then it would never happen! I also thought this would be a fun experience for Cody. He is always very interested in the Temples he sees when we are driving. We had reservations for 12pm. My Mom watched Landen and Crew for us. This way we could focus on Cody and enjoy our time alone with him! This entire event was very organized. We started off at a meeting house, where you watch a short film about the Temple. Then a tour bus took us up to the Temple. It happened to be a very cold, snowy, foggy day. So I did not get any good shots of the Temple. The bus dropped us off and you walk through a covered, heated maze that takes you all the way to the Temples front doors. So we did not have to be out in the cold one bit. I thought that was pretty cool. Once inside, it was so warm, and peaceful, you could instantly feel the spirit. It was so awesome. So uplifting. The volunteers were so sweet and loving. Everyone kept commenting on how handsome and sharp Cody looked! He would get so shy when anyone tried to talk to him. Cody was so cute. He wanted to be right in between Matt and I the whole time. It was a very special day. So fun to be alone with him. It is rare now to get much one on one time with the boys. After the tour of the Temple you go to another church just across the street, there you get refreshments! And can any ask any questions, if you have any. Our bus then picked us up and took us back to church where our car was parked! So nice and so easy! I later asked Cody what his favorite part of the Temple was, he replied, " the room with the big, big, ball hanging from the ceiling, not the one with the really big mirror! The one with the mirror is my second favorite!" He is talking about the Celestial room, it had a huge chandelier, that is absolutely beautiful! Then the Sealing room, another room that was is beautiful with the mirrors . If you have not been able to attend the open house yet, I recommend going. It was a wonderful experience!
